Unemployment dropped 6% under Obama - cut in half - and it was "horrible". Unemployment drops .3% and now everything is great.
What is really sad is people look at something, a set of facts, and walk away with completely different ideas of what they are looking at. |
workforce participation stopped going down, the unemployment rate has fallen from 4.8 to 4.1 under Trump. That's better
Food stamps is down to it's lowest since 2010, that's better
The stock market is up over 25%, unlike under Obama using quantitative easing , it's based on the forecast of the economy. That's better
Consumer confidence has reached a 16 year high That's better
And not much of what Trump has done has taken effect yet, this is people betting on the future. The last two times presidents did a tax cut, the economy boomed, both under JFK and Reagan, more people worked.
You say nothing has changed, maybe you should step outside and look around. Here in LA if you want to do a remodel on your house, you have to wait a year for someone to have the time and most that are doing it don't seem to have a contractors license.

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
