We can now watch oil climb, the deficit balloon (tax cut), and our PS check shrink. ENJOY brother. Winning.
The Dow was at just about 7000 March of '09 and Oct of '16 was just about 18,100 (I won't let you have anything after that because once trump won, The Dow movement after election was due to Trump's win despite all the liberals saying it would crash), so NOT 200% increase, about 158%. Details are important Nice try on inflating your point! HAHA!! Not to mention it's a lot easier to double 7000 than it is 18000 (try it: double 700 hundred dollars, then try to double 18000 dollars) No one is denying the stock market went up under your guy. We want it to go up.
Congrats your B-fund! That's the point is to make it as big as possible.
Obama wasn't responsible for the merger. Nice try.
I would never brag about reducing a 10% unemployment rate EVER! Should never be there in the first place. That's like saying your wife cheated on you, but, hey, at least she told me about it!
If you don't like the tax cut, please write the IRS a check on the money you don't want. Oh yeah, you won't.
Oil is oil. supply and demand. The president doesn't regulate oil prices.
Sorry, times are good right now even if you hate the guy in office. We may be having a smaller PS checks but that's due to how United is being managed, not because who's in office.
