    If it's not good its the previous president's fault. If its good, it's because of him.

    As long as we keep the corporate overlords content, the regular Joes will have a shot at keeping theirs jobs.

    We all know president Trump will bring back millions of jobs from China and Mexico and save millions of coal related jobs, so a 7-10% GPD growth is expected in second quarter, all the voters who voted for Trump will be happy I am sure.

    The economy is booming -- exactly the opposite of what the Democrats predicted with a Trump win. And Trump's policies are directly responsible for the economic surge. Obama's economy was far weaker than it should have been, and was fueled almost entirely by stimulative monetary policy (interest rates were zero and on top of that you had quantitative easing). Had Obama had even moderately helpful, instead of 100% harmful, economic policies, the economic growth would have been respectable during his term. Instead, he pursued green energy fantasies, pro-union policies, higher taxes, surges in entitlements, and record levels of red tape and business-strangling regulation. My goodness it's nice to have a competent business person in office who knows what it takes to create jobs and grow the bottom line.


    GOOD DAY

    What is growing faster, the GDP, wages, corporate profits, or the National Debt? My guess... the last two...

    Nope, this was another propaganda parroting.

    Growing, sure. Booming, hardly.

    What the Democrats predicted was that the rich would get richer and everyone else wouldn't, which is exactly what is happening.

    Since there hasn't been a "surge," I'll let you have this one.

    Yes, due to a political party (the GOP, in case you were confused) doing everything they could to slow growth.

    Policy that started before he took office.

    The true indication of a biased partisan is that they will claim that everything their political rivals do is 100% wrong.

    First, economic growth was slow but certainly "respectable" during Obama's term. We set a record for consecutive months of job growth after recovering from the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.

    Which have resulted in a boom in renewable energy.

    Which policy was this?

    Which we need.

    Which were the result of the Great Recession, not Obama policies.

    According to the most biased partisan ever to make a statement on ClutchFans. NO CRED

    Job growth hasn't increased, wage growth is still stagnant, and the only people who got anything from the tax cut are the wealthy.

    I've gotten to smack your nonsense down multiple times today, so it is a GREAT DAY.

    TJ, as has been explained to you before, when you say "GOOD DAY" at the end of a conversation, you are saying "good bye" for the day. Your using this multiple times in the same calendar day is a violation of etiquette, decorum, and the generally accepted usage of the English language.

    Good day to you.
