Obama Policies Fueled Our Economic Boom. Don’t Let Trump And His Rich Man’s Tax Cut Steal The Credit

[jc456]

Trump tax cuts are why the economy is stronger than ever. All the other nations are losing their shit as corporations and jobs set sails towards America and freedom.

And so, the snowflakes melt.

U.S. Consumer Confidence Falls in December From 17-Year High

Not every month can be a record high.

Except with Trump and the stock market. For the first time, every month was a record high. Not bad... not bad.

And the right said the stock market wasn't a good economic indicator when it soared under obama.

it wasn't and isn't. it's a combination of things. to include jobs and wages and revenue coming in. and money going out. the stock market is an indicator. It says the rich are getting richer. so the rich got richer under obummer. you just admitted it. thanks.

Of course that's true, the wealth gap between the top and bottom in the US grew more under Obama than under any other President. Fact, not fiction.

yep, obummer built up that layer under 25k. we know them as the dependents.

Ending the obungle's regulations is what is remaking the economy. All we ask of the black Bejesus is to either stand by and enjoy watching his legacy removed bit by bit, or die of a cocaine overdose.

Which regulations, specifically? Because corporate profits routinely reached record highs despite these unnamed and unmentioned "regulations".

Because corporations aren't the ones who were hurt by these regulations. Small businesses were, and small business is the background of our economy, always has been.

Donald Trump is good at certain things. (Please take a deep breath and don’t throw your mouse or laptop at the wall.) I have not come to praise Mr. Lost The Popular Vote By 2.9 Million. But the truth is the truth—even if the truth is something Trump wouldn’t recognize if it landed right on the dyed bird’s nest that covers his dome. In any case, we must acknowledge that the man has demonstrated the ability to shape the media narrative for his own nefarious purposes.

For example, when the term “fake news” first gained widespread usage during the 2016 campaign, it most often referred to anti-Hillary, pro-Trump stories planted by non-journalists on social media. Trump, however, has over the past year co-opted the term successfully enough so that, for many, it now primarily refers to mainstream journalists’ supposed anti-Trump bias. Similarly, he has sought to control the narrative about the strong performance of the American economy, and last week’s passage of the rich man’s tax cut is going to be a crucial pivot point in that narrative. The mainstream media and the American people simply cannot allow him to control it the way he has controlled the narrative on fake news.

Throughout his time in the White House, Trump has been obsessed with denigrating the accomplishments of Barack Obama (Think: “Obamacare is imploding”—it isn’t, but who knows what will happen next year as a result of Trump’s repeal of the individual mandate and other steps taken to sabotage the health care law).

Washington Post fact-checker Nicole Lewis offered a detailed comparison of the economy under Trump thus far and Obama. There’s far too much detail to go into here, but here are some highlights. First, the stock market growth in Trump’s first 10 months doesn’t look nearly as impressive when you learn that it is no better than the market’s performance in peer countries like the UK, Germany, and Japan. This isn’t a Trump bull market, it’s a global one. By comparison, under Obama the U.S. stock market, as measured by the S&P 500, not only tripled over eight years, it significantly outperformed the markets in those same peer countries.

Job growth under Trump lags behind job growth under Obama (in a comparable time period, i.e., February through November) in each of the previous four years, and five out of the last seven years of the Obama presidency. And while we’re on the topic of media narrative, Trump now touts the big drop of about one-half of 1 percent in the unemployment rate since he took office, but while Obama was president he denigratedthe unemployment rate as “nonsense.” That’s not surprising given that it fell almost five points during the final five years of the Obama presidency.

Overall, the economy under Trump thus far looks no better by most measures than the economy in the last years under Obama. Furthermore, whereas Trump inherited the strong Obama economy, Obama inherited the Great Recession from George W. Bush—the worst economic crash since the Great Depression. That crash followed years of Republican control of Congress and a round of tax cuts whose benefits flowed mostly to the wealthy (sound familiar?). Until the passage of the Trump tax scheme, there were no significant changes to the economic policies put in place during the Obama presidency—policies that brought our economy out of the Great Recession and which have given us the longest lasting period of job growth in our history.

Trump’s comments above about his tax scheme and “rocket fuel” make clear that he will go even further than he has so far in claiming credit for anything good happening in the economy. He and his right-wing minions have in fact begun doing so. Here’s a headline from the Conservative Review: “The Trump tax cuts are ALREADY raising wages” (all-caps makes it much more convincing, doesn’t it?). Don’t buy it. As Conor Sen at Bloomberg explained, the rich man’s tax cut is merely the “excuse to raise wages. The tight labor market is the real reason.” And of course the tight labor market reflects years of a strong economy bequeathed to us by none other than President Barack Obama. Don’t let Donald Trump steal the credit.

Trump continues riding President Obama's coattails and trying to steal his thunder. President Obama gave us a stable and sustainable economy; whereas, Trump is trying to give us a rocket ship economy that may propel us into another Great Depression. The current economy does not need deregulation and tax cuts for stimulation.

So to recap:

Everything bad that happened while Obama was POTUS was Bush's fault, and everything good that happens while Obama gets credit for everything good that happens when Trump is POTUS?

Man, you guys are like a cult or something.

There was incremental change to the possitive in the economy from near the begining of Obama's administration to the end. So what was bad exactly?

 

[The Derp]

Because corporations aren't the ones who were hurt by these regulations. Small businesses were, and small business is the background of our economy, always has been.

OK, so what regulations hurt small businesses? Small businesses under 50 employees were exempt from the employer mandate and got credits for providing insurance to their workers, so you can't use the ACA as a regulation that hurt small business. So which regulations did? Can you give an example?

 

[depotoo]

1. Regulations governing the coal mining industry (H.J. Res 41).

Mandated by President Barack Obama and finalized in 2016, these regulations “threatened to put domestic extraction companies and their employees at an unfair disadvantage,”White House press secretary Sean Spicer said.

The resolution, signed by Trump in February, repealed the rule and “could save American businesses as much as $600 million annually,” Spicer said.

I only point out that the economy is making leaps under Trump , and claiming that Obama gets the credit for that is ridiculous. It's SPECIFIC things that Trump has done that have brought that about.

3. The streak of consecutive months of job creation ended in Trump's first year
4. The economy was already operating at 3% quarterly growth before Trump became President.
5. Consumer Confidence measured in December 2017 falls from a 17-year high.

I do not know if we can say leaps since Trump came in. In terms of percentages Trump has not done as well as Obama. That being said it is dificult to make huge percentage moves in unemployemnt and some other key indicators when we are already at nearly full employment capacity.

good thing he kept all those regulations and shit to keep it going. right?

Oh wait.....hmmmmmmmmm something happened with the regs, did they actually keep prosperity from occurring for the years under obummer? yes they did. thanks Donald, you unleashed the obummmer fuel.

You can't name a single significant regulation that is gone.

all of the EPA ones. Not sure the quantity. but that's ok you really don't want to know, cause you'll just deny it. I know you bubba, you enjoy choking your chicken.

Our economy has something in common with the stock market in that it responds to the “Business Climate”.

As anyone who plays or has played the markets knows, the current business climate affects what businesses do and how the market responds.

Barack Hussein Obama was a self proclaimed enemy of business and the free market. He created a hostile business climate. This stifled our economy throughout his regime. The only reason it was better when he left than when he began is that even 0bama couldn’t keep the America Economy down forever.

Two things happened to make our economy better. A man who is well known to be a friend of business and the free market won the election, and the enemy of business was gone.

This ends the lesson.

No charge, you’re welcome.

Nothing has changed so the economy is following the same trend it has for years.

It has drastically changed. But I don’t expect you to be smart enough, honest enough, or mature enough to admit it. I cannot fix stupid.

What has changed?

I just told you, can you not read?

When did the "Trump effect" take hold
the trump effect took hold a week after the 2016 elections. you should read up on that startling achievement. you'd educate yourself.

When were they repealed
From an EO he wrote after inauguration..

How does that help the economy
it shows confidence to corporate job providers.

 

[PhotoPilot]

Because corporations aren't the ones who were hurt by these regulations. Small businesses were, and small business is the background of our economy, always has been.

OK, so what regulations hurt small businesses? Small businesses under 50 employees were exempt from the employer mandate and got credits for providing insurance to their workers, so you can't use the ACA as a regulation that hurt small business. So which regulations did? Can you give an example?

Are you kidding me? The examples are too numerous to list here. Seriously look at the rules that OSHA and the FDA alone introduced that hurt small businesses while giving little to no actual benefit to anyone or anything.

I've already stated, I'm not here to argue with children. If you can't , at a minimum, admit that yes under Obama the government introduced a lot of regulations that harmed small businesses while providing little benefit to anyone or anything, then we really have nothing further to discuss.

And not having the time to check it right now I am dubious of the word numbers.

Our economy has something in common with the stock market in that it responds to the “Business Climate”.

As anyone who plays or has played the markets knows, the current business climate affects what businesses do and how the market responds.

Barack Hussein Obama was a self proclaimed enemy of business and the free market. He created a hostile business climate. This stifled our economy throughout his regime. The only reason it was better when he left than when he began is that even 0bama couldn’t keep the America Economy down forever.

Two things happened to make our economy better. A man who is well known to be a friend of business and the free market won the election, and the enemy of business was gone.

This ends the lesson.

No charge, you’re welcome.

This is how ignorant a far rightwing jackass like PredFan is...

His stupid, simple argument is "Trump won, therefore economy good." Although not a damned thing has changed.

ROTFLMBAO!
