Success for a country coming out of the worst recession in our lifetimes? Yes, I think so. And it certainly illustrates how pedestrian Trump's 4% in the Q2 '18 was. BTW, 2017 sported 2.3% ANNUAL GDP growth.

Even Lou Dobbs pulled that "I thought Barry said 3% was the new normal". Evidently, he and his Walmart listeners don't know the difference between quarterly and annual numbers.

And whatever "reeled" in Obama's spending, the fact is the annual deficit decreased substantially during his presidency. Unlike Trump, where with both houses republican, the deficit increased 17% yoy 2017 to 2018. Now THAT's winning.

All in the face of rising interest rates and a subversive media that distorts the facts.

I think record load factors should be a good indicator of the state of the economy. I’m sure you’ve noticed. But anyhow, make hay will the sun is out cause we all know it won’t be a perpetual wave.

 

How's your bomb shelter coming along?

 

Great. All are welcome. I’m actually inclusive of those I disagree with. Unlike, you know.

 

You know that recession was set into motion by Clinton right? Obama and you are going to continue to blame Bush for the state of the economy and lackluster growth for EIGHT years of his presidency, yet Trump takes office, the economy starts roaring, and suddenly Obama gets to do victory laps? Hypocrisy knows no bounds...

Keep banging that deficit drum, he doubled the debt. It’s a moot point anyway since no one will stop spending regardless of party.
