The Republicans here on GFY did it too. Vendzilla, and others, talked about the "real unemployment rate" and also the labor force participation rate.

They did this was while completely ignoring the truth - Obama ended our recession, fixed the economy, and gave us a 4% unemployment rate. We had seventy-two months of consecutive dropping unemployment under Obama.

The reality here is that Obama is our savior. Trump is literally just riding on Obama's coattails.

Republicans tell us the tax bill is why our economy is booming. This is completely false. The only thing the tax bill did was increase our deficit. The GDP was still higher under Obama. Trump gave us a tax cut for no reason. We are going to pay for this. Even worse, the tax cuts for the middle class expire, but for the big companies raking in billions they do not expire.
