Just an observation - during the Obama years - anything and everything that was wrong - was George Bush's fault - now anything and everything that is right is because of Obama - talk about bumfuzzlization !!!
....Not so hard to figure out ... when Bush was leaving the Presidency jobs were being lost at 800,000 a month .... all the arrow indicators were heading down, 2 unfunded wars, auto industry & financial companies going out of business. Housing crashing!
In comes Obama, and in a couple months job growth began (
74 consecutive months actually), saved the auto industries, financial industries, ended one war, etc etc .... what's to be bumfussaled about,
blkdlaur?
....Even now he takes
sole credit for the stock market growth even though stock values are up in the rest of the developed world more than here when comparing the S&P500 to the MSCI's. Trump says
"America First", then why is the stock market gains benefiting the rest of the world more than the US? US equities have been in a bull market that well predates the fabulous Trump administration. Besides,
Trump uses the stock market as a benchmark to his administration's success ... pretty dangerous, don't you think? When the stock market adjusts, who's he gonna blame ... Obama? Hillary? the Democrats? Mueller? TinkerBell? .... who? Or will he do, as he's been doing lately, and call the adjustment
FAKE NEWS? You know he isn't going to accept the blame himself when (not if) the stock market makes a big adjustment. He
NEVER accepts the blame, and he never apologizes, right? In fact, if it wasn't for his campaigning for/and big
Corporate Tax Cut and its
'after-tax' profits for the corporations, I doubt he'd be bragging so loudly and so often. Yeah,
the shareholders have more money, but society, as a whole, doesn't get anything BUT the debt for the lost revenue from the corporations and the wealthiest 1%ers. Just more Trickle Down Debt hitting the bottom line, as if our national debt isn't large enough, already. And, these days, since foreign countries are major shareholders in the US ... guess who profits on the stock growth? But, hey, I bet Trump benefited just fine, you think?
....Also, from Obama's 1st inauguration for the first year, the S&P 500 went up 42% compared to Trump's 21% from his inauguration date. Hell, even Bill Clinton beat Trump's ass. Maybe Trump just doesn't realize that threats of trade wars, government shutdowns, and nuclear war tend to have a negative effect for big investors. Heck, I bet Hillary would beat Trump fairly easily, and half the world wouldn't be pissed off at us right about now, either. Ohhhhh, but wait, if Hillary was President, we'd be into our 15th Benghazi investigation, and 6th Hillary e-mails investigation, I bet.
