Politics: Rather than rooting on the strong economy, Democrats have taken to ignoring it, belittling it or, like Bill Maher did over the weekend, rooting for a recession. The extent to which Trump critics will go is truly mind-boggling.
The unemployment rate is at 49-year lows overall, and lower than ever for African-Americans. Household incomes are at record highs. The U.S. reclaimed its No. 1 rank in competitiveness. Economists are revising their growth forecasts upward. Optimism is at levels not seen in more than a decade.
Clearly the economy is doing well. And what's more, the public is increasingly crediting President Trump for it — as they should, since much of the turnaround is due to his dumping Obamanomics.
But what's a Democrat hoping to reclaim the House majority in November to do?
One is to ignore the economy altogether. So, Democrats are trying to turn attention to things like ObamaCare premiums or alleged corruption in the Trump administration.

If the collateral damage is an oppressive economic situation for YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, THEN SO BE IT. That’s the price the elites are willing to pay to have their guy back in the White House.

The Boston Herald said it best... 'elites' are more than willing to have everyday people pay the price for their narcissism.
YES. The criminal politicians at the top of the party will continue to rake in their cut, and those at the bottom will use a recession as an added excuse to continue living off government handouts.
The socialist dems have no incentive for a good economy. Plentiful jobs force them to go to work.
What’s good for the US is bad for Democrats; and vice-versa.
First, they investigate for price gouging when gas goes up, then they investigate for influencing an election when gas goes down.

Of course the DemonRats are. They’re subversive and enemies of the Republic and American people.
If you listened to the reporters at post summit Q&A, they are willing to sacrifice WORLD PEACE to avoid giving Trump credit for anything positive.
Good luck stopping this economy losers
I have always thought that the whole 2007-2008 recession was designed to elect Obama, with the help of the Bush family. The timing was impeccable, Obama was trotted out like someone who actually knew what he was doing and was going to solve all of our problems, totally choreographed. I’m still not so sure that we weren’t better off with Obama than McCain anyway, it sure woke up the American people regarding socialism (at least some of them).
That’s because the Democrats have at national level not been loyal to the USA since the 60’s ! Not the 1960’s but the1860’s
