The economy could be worse but it also could be MUCH better. Labor participation is very low and the economy is lukewarm, at best. It should be booming its socks off but Obama’s regulations and silly policies are keeping it from doing just that. Also, our infrastructure needs a major upgrade! Obama is a failed president.

January 2009 when Obama took office the national debt was at approx. $9.5 trillion.
Eight years later, as he leaves office, it is fast approaching $20 trillion.
That's $10 trillion in eight years, the largest increase in debt by Obama than all of his 43 presidential predecessors combined.

He looks like a college drop-out tripping out on some designer drug.

Someone who graduated even 5 years ago with lots of tuition debt and who has never gotten a job in their field is in deep doo doo when they try to compete with a new grad. Trump will create jobs but there will a large block of people who will still suffer because of the muslim’s economy for years to come.

I recall that comrade obama was seriously concerned that if he lost the 2012 election and the economy improved, his Republican successor would be credited for the successful results of obamanomics policy. It turned out that was not a problem.

To paraphrase the great comedian/philosopher Richard Pryor:

Thanks for the additional insight. I have been watching “macro” influences for quite a while. During my entire adult life, every time we have a new administration, business slows down for 3-6 months. Business hates change. They just finish re-tooling for the current administration and get it under control, then everything changes. They stop, hold their breath and then resume business activity when they understand the new environment.

This is the first time I’ve seen business and prosperity increase at the mere promise of a new administration. It’s going to be a wild ride and a very promising one!

We actually had more debt at the end of WW2 than we have today...it was around 120% of GDP. But we do have an economy with one hand tied behind it’s back with our insane tax code, epa regs, etc. Hold the line on spending, break the medical monopolies, cut regs, swap out the payroll tax for an import tax and we could turn this around pretty fast.

We also were the only industrialized nation in the world that wasn’t bombed to smithereens, and were able to switch back to manufacturing consumer goods in short order. That, and the Bretton Woods agreement launched the post-war recovery period, or as I fondly recall it: my childhood years.
