Introduced stability for one thing. While not flashy, it also calmed the markets which climbed steadily.I guess you're talking about the DJIA; it climbed 149% under Obama and his supposedly anti-business regulations.
He had 8 years in which the DJIA grew in spite of Obama rather than because of Obama. Big difference. If an economy grows in spite of a President or political party’s power, it is usually over a long period of time, not short term.
Sure. So I guess the environmental restrictions had no effect on business if the DJIA climbed 149% (as it did). Right?
What did Obama do? What policies dod he pursue? His environmental restrictions and other egregious regulatory policies were met with companies reducing their workforce, cutting costs, working leaner. The DJIA growth did not accelerate until the end of Obama Reign when investors knew he could do no more harm. Cash sat on the sidelines for most of Obama’s two terms. Imagine how much better we would have been compared to 149 percent?
