Re: The Economy - Bush, Obama, Trump
The media always claim that growth rate for the economy has been higher under Obama than under Trump as were numbers of jobs created. BUT, Obama was climbing out of a recession and such large increases would be be expected for that reason.But Trump's growth has come on top of an already expanding economy when a slowdown might have been expected. Instead, it's kept growing. That is the amazing thing.It shows he's actually doing something to keep the expansion going.

Re: The Economy - Bush, Obama, Trump
This is how good the economy currently is. When is the last time you walked into, or did business with business that wasn’t hiring? How about someone hiring for under $2 over minimum wage?
Unless things are far different 90 minutes south, Central PA is ridiculous. The job candidate market is completely barren, the job market is overflowing, capitalism at its finest, we have gas stations starting in the double digits and amazon at $15... no one can find employees. I

Re: The Economy - Bush, Obama, Trump
Yeah, Bush didn't send anything to Congress. He floated a few trial balloons that didn't "test" well in the polls and he ended the push. This idea was the only reason I voted for him in that general election and he sent me right back to the libertarians before they became heavy pot-smoking screwballs.

Re: The Economy - Bush, Obama, Trump
That is almost identical to my thinking on that as well. It was his biggest campaign promise that I was behind 100%... otherwise he was meh. I will say that I am VERY glad he was in office during 9/11... he was the leadership we needed at that point. Can you imagine if that had been Al Gore??
While I did not fully support Iraq, I did fully support our efforts against the Taliban and Al Quaida at the time. However, knocking off Saddam did give us some geographic and logistics advantages against them. What we didn't know prior to attacking Iraq, is that when we interviewed Saddam and his advisers after the fact, they all thought we were going to ask them for assistance against Al-Quaida and the Taliban, and were going to help us because they hated them as much as we did... so that is a little f'd up. Apparently Saddam wasn't quite as anti-American as we were lead to believe... most of what he was doing was to keep Iran at bay, which is why he was lying about having WMD. He was pretending to have WMD as a deterrent to any Iranian hostilities..."Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else." -Margaret Mead

Re: The Economy - Bush, Obama, Trump
Makes perfect sense seeing as we( the US gov) put Saddam in power. To do just what you said...control Iran.
Shit we also “funded,and assisted in the empowerment “ of bin Laden! “We” needed him to fight off the Russians in Afghanistan.
At the end of the day ...if our own government wasn’t soo damn corrupt and greedy...we wouldn’t have half the problems we have now.

Incorrect. President Bush and John McCain warned about Fannie and Freddie only to have Democrats like Barney Frank ignore.
