Wow, have you ever thought about getting this post of yours published as a piece of fiction? All I hear from you is anti-republican b*******!When are you going to wake up?
fact is the only people that are doing better now then they did before the Trump tax cut are the rich, people who have money to invest in the stock market, NOT the average hard working American.
Yes, there are a lot more people working now then there was when Obama took office and the economy is doing better
but YOU don't want to admit that Obama took over the worst Recession EVER and McConnell and the Republicans took over the Congress and swore they would do everything they could to make Obama a one term President.
and they had complete control of Congress for years and the FACT is the " recovery " would have been more robust and a LOT stronger IF the Republicans would have worked with Obama and NOT tried to do everything they could to make him look as bad as Bush II was.
YOU and other Republicans keep trying to compare the economy under Obama's first two years and Trumps first two years' first of all Obama had to deal with the worst recession EVER
and Trump took over a recovering economy, YES it was a slow recovery BUT , and I say but IF the Republicans would have taken in the welfare of the people of the US and NOT did everything they could to make Obama look bad that slow recovery would have and could have been one of the most robust recoveries , BUT NO they did everything they could to slow it down, and then when Trump became President they tried to make him look good, and he still ran the debt UP MORE in his first fiscal year then Obama did in 5 out of the 8 years he was in office
They lied to the People saying they were going to " repeal and replace" the ACA
They had COMPLETE control of the US Government and could NOT even do the one thing they all ran on.
YES the GDP is up 3.5% or a little more and the stock market is going up and up
but the average person right now is not farther a head
YES wages went up an average of 1.9% and inflation has gone up 2.9% so they have lost real buying power.
Yes they saw an increase in their checks after the Trump tax cut, but why? they took out less withholding's and when it came to income tax time they got a lot less back then they did last year.
and most of the people I know that took the standard deduction last year after adding in what they got back in their checks and adding that to what they got beck in refunds they figured out they their income taxes went up.
Yes the stock market has gone up and most people who work for a living paid more in income tax this year then last, oh yes the GDP is up but most of that comes from people who invest in the stock market, big Corporations not having to pay income taxes on the millions or BILLIONS they are making in US profits. NOT from the hard working American
Have a nice night
I'm sorry but you really don't have a clue how the US economy works but you keep buying what the left-wing tells you. If Obama did so well how did he do it since his stimulus money wasn't even spent and we came out of recession in June 2009?
Are we better off today than we were when Obama left office? 52% of people say yes. You think it is all about the stock market? No it is about personal responsibility and you really need to open your eyes to see what's going on in the country today with infrastructure spending, job creation that are full-time jobs not the part-time jobs Obama created.
You keep buying what you're told but not once have I ever seen one solution to the problems that you say exist. That makes you nothing but a partisan liberal hack! You have a great evening
