Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 The BLS reports that the latest unemployment rate has dropped to 4.1% the lowest in 17 years. Thank you Pres. Trump for a healthy economy and bringing jobs back to America as Broadcom announced today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shabby 1,958 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Since you want to give Trump credit for the continued recovery in the job market perhaps we can assign him the responsibility for the wage stagnation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than EO's he's done nothing, and that was one of the big criticisms of Obama from the right, his dictatorially evil executive orders.

Trump and Congress haven't passed one meaningful piece of policy or legislation that would warrant giving him credit. Simply occupying an office isn't enough.

homersapien 11,393 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 The notion the economy is managed - much less influenced - coordinately with inauguration dates is laughable. The lag period for whatever impact a given POTUS had on the economy, is measured in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illustrate which pieces of major legislation have resulted in improved an economy. Until then, I'll maintain that the growth we've seen since the recession, including since 1-20-2017, is a result of Keynesian strategies employed by Obama, and before him Bush. Keynesian policies are not always the answer, but they were effective in alleviating a very deep recession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted November 5, 2017 Author Share Posted November 5, 2017 The Trump haters just can't stand an unemployment rate of 4.1% even though it is the best in 17 years. All sorts of ifs and buts but the fact is it's 4.1% and Trump is POTUS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're just interjecting some facts and common sense into your preening. Unemployment is a lagging indicator. The things that affect it were put into place way before you see the results. And honestly, Congress/Trump haven't passed any significant policy or legislation that would warrant giving them credit. If you'd like to refute that and show us some concrete things they've done, have at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aujeff11 6,243 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I’ll let others work out the details but seems to me he is making the climate in tbe U.S more business friendly. I know he’s brought Broadcom back recently. If he continues to make the American climate more business friendly with its tax code and other companies come back home, are you going to praise his work or just pretend that a cat can only be skinned one way?

Not to mention the stock market is at an all time high and the markets largely reflect what investors perceive the future of the economy to be. But it is hopeless to confuse some people with simple facts they just don't want to hear. I couldn't care less. All I know for a real hard fact is I have made a lot of money in the market this year so the economy looks good to me.

The current bull market started March, 2009 and is the second longest market on record without at least a drop of 20% in the S&P 500. * Personally, I think it's naive, but if you are compelled to thank a president for this market, the logical choice would be Obama. But the main job of any president regarding the market - or the economy - is not to screw it up with faulty, short-sighted policy changes. * https://www.cnbc.com/2017/09/13/second-longest-bull-market-ever-aging-gracefully-but-investors-wonder-how-long-it-will-last.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will agree that the business community perceives him as more business friendly and that has created some optimism that's probably nudged the stock market favorably. But perception and concrete policy and reality are two very different things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
