When you print $trillions of dollars, and just say the 20% who stopped looking for jobs are statistically employed YOU'RE A FRIGGING GENIUS.
However, GDP has been almost zero recently, average earnings are lower than when he took office, and per capita GDP is also lower today.
The stock market is wholly a result of the Federal reserve providing near zero rates. If this economy were so hot, we'd have 7% rates today. Obama had nothing to do with the markets....

Hard to believe that you're crying the blues about the economy. I bet that you've done better than ever over the last 7 years. Moreover, if the truth be told, none of here, right or left, have been suffering during the Obama Administration. That's not to say that some folks aren't getting ahead as much as they want, but much of that is related to long term structural factors and manufacturing flight over decades now.
A Republican Congress could have tried to help, but they couldn't seem to get it together. Shutting down the government, and effectively driving down America's credit rating, can't be seen as brilliant strategies to boost our economy. Let's be honest, Republicans have to own up to crap congressional approval ratings, and an incredible ineptitude when it comes to being organized and getting things done for average Americans.
Thank goodness that President Obama has used his executive authority to get some reasonable things done. |

That statement "Obama had nothing to do with the markets..." is false, kind of like 99% of Trumps remarks on the campaign trail. Its never correct to state that a president has nothing to do with the movements of the markets, you know better. |

And I thought you were joking, but why am I not surprised by this?

When my father was born the irs didn't exist. America was great then.
Why couldn't we have 2 tax rates and a postcard return? |
