Wait just a minute . . . I saw on FOX News this morning that 49% of the US population think that this fantastic economy is a direct result of Barack Obama’s presidency and only 40% attribute it to President Trump. WTF???
In n Out in AZ has a sign for $12/hr starting.
There is a difference between the economy which the populations feels through jobs and benefits, and the economy reflected by the stock market which stockholders feel through increases in stock prices and dividends. The stock market rise can be attributed to the belief, now confirmed by the new tax bill, that big business will benefit from the Trump presidency. Workers have yet to see the promised benefits. However, many of them are also optimistic which means they are buying things, and have doubled the size of their credit card debt. Heaven help us if the optimists are wrong.
Oh; you must not watch any TV. All the lib talking heads have been spinning the narrative that the stock market and good economy are Obama’s doing.
