The Obama economy was so great that Republicans won in a landslide across the country.
I’m not subscribing to Fortune magazine in the foreseeable future if this is the crap they’re reporting.
I for one don’t see a fantastic growth in the economy.espechially in my income.
Though being a FReeper from the liberal North East doesn’t help.I just can’t believe Fortune actually believes these lies that the Obams Administration has been putting out for the last eight years.You would think Fortune would know better.
When you have an official inflation rate that tends to under report inflation, statistics that have the word `Real` in them should be treated with some skepticism.
I can’t wait for Elaine Chao’s first monthly stats report - when she fixes all of the cooked numbers that Obama’s Labor Dept. has been spewing.

Chris Matthews shouldn’t confuse his drunken reveries with the real world.
Chris Matthews is an ignorant slut. Why is Fortune publishing anything from an economic illiterate?
All I had to read was “Chris Mathews.”
Holy She-it’s!!! Really???? 95 million people not working and 21 trillion in debt!!!. That is getting a good economy?????
wow just wow
Im so old I remember when Fortune magazine wasn’t socialist.
One quarter’s data (albeit questionably), does not a trend make.

In other words, even the current anemic real median household income figure probably overstates the case due to under estimating inflation. I`m also curious as to whether various forms of wellfare payments count towards household income. If so, then that would be another reason for viewing these statistics as overstating the case.
If the electorate believed this, HRC would have one. The bulk of American just didn’t see a robust recovery.
Typical liberal media. Just like they blamed Bush for anything bad that happened during Obama’s entire eight years. They will try to give Obama credit for anything good that happens during Trump’s eight years...
"So, except for that thing that happened just after 10 PM, how was your evening at the theatre, Mrs. Lincoln?"
GDP growth is the best overall indicator of economic health. Lots of the other numbers can be (and are, clearly in some cases, being) fudged. Expect the household median income numbers to be "adjusted" sometime during the first quarter, for example. The GDP itself was also "mysteriously" boosted for the third quarter; expect that one to be "adjusted" as well, as it has been (downward) several times during this fake presidency.
So, Chris advances the latest fake narrative in a fake column. He should go back to his fake news channel. Why was he given a forum in a business publication (other than Business Insider?)
That’s just Jim Jones koolaid sh!t right there.
Working Americans voted for President Donald Trump because they were so thrilled with Barack Hussein that they wanted Trump’s version of continuing that economy? Really? Or are they so stupid they didn’t understand how wonderful not having a job really was? Either way, that sounds like more fake news.
