Funny how articles like this never appeared when Obama was President. The author also show stats that nearly 15% of men 24 to 54 aren't working, and wages aren't increasing. What percentage of these men choose not to work, or are illegally in the country? How can salaries increase if companies continue to hire cheap labor?

At the same time the economy is so terrible many retail and fast food places are having to close up or reduce hours because they cannot fill jobs.

They pumped the numbers to make Obama look like he was doing something, and the economy was not that bad, This is very well documented.
Those same Lagos are making Trump look like a freaking hero, and the media MUST find a way to stop it.

Funny how articles like this never appeared when Obama was President. The financial crisis is Obama. Piled up more debt than all the other presidents combined. Debt that is hanging over all our heads about to crush our economy, and nothing can fix it. Trump would need to be in the White House for 20 years to fix it.

It's always a fun time if you can change the rules every time your opponent is doing well.

A halfway sharp high school graduate can become a C-Level executive. Show me another country where that might happen.

What did Obama do with the $787 Billion Dollar Slush Fund* congress gave him back in 2009?
* also known as “The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009”
How many of his cronies ended up with fat foreign bank accounts full of so-called “Stimulus” money?

I like the way this guy casually states that President Trump is racist without so much as a nod toward any reason to support that outrageous assertion.
Its just a given. Everybody knows that... etc...

What the hell would a bunch of commie piglets down at the New Yawk Slimes know about the economy? These are maggots who can’t even get real jobs. Geez.
To: Vlad The Inhaler
It's an odd thing. Back around 2009, although I saw
some infrastructure work being done here in MA, I don't think I saw any really significant uptick in the work being done.
But right now? Under Trump? I think every road in the state is being repaved. Road crews are everywhere! And it doesn't seem to have cost us $787B this time around!

A team of academic economists Gabriel Zucman, Emmanuel Saez and Thomas Piketty (the best-selling author on inequality) has begun publishing a version of G.D.P. that separates out the share of national income flowing to rich, middle class and poor. Since the GDP measures production, maybe we should measure how much the poor, middle and rich produce. But that would get people asking "Why the @(@* are we importing so many more poor people?"

It left millions of people many of whom were already anxious about the economy feeling much more anxious, if not downright angry. You're damned right we're angry. THose responsible (I'm talking about you Barny Fag, and Jamie Gorelick, and Frankin Raines) were never held accountable. Nor have "We the people" gotten out money back plus interest that went to fund the bailouts. What we have gotten is: hordes of freeloading illegal aliens who are destroying our nations and our culture.

New York Slimes: Were Measuring the Economy All Wrong
Partner, these journalists put out so many lies every single day that they even do not know when they tell the truth.
The journalists loved that America Hating Piece of Work Mooslimb Imposter Obama and this tells us all we need to know about our current MSM.
We are hoping that the America Hating Piece of Work Imposter Obama continues to campaign for the Rats since it will be a "kiss of death" for those Rat candidates.

Wait didn’t Obama just take credit for the Great economy we have now? Liberals cant decide how to spin their lies anymore. We will accept credit and place blame on the same event! Only in a liberal mind does this make sense.

Wait didnt Obama just take credit for the Great economy we have now?Scott Adams said if Obama gets credit for the economy, he also owns the climate.
So Obama is complicit in hurricane production.
