Lulz. You have no idea what you are talking abt other than not wanting to concede a job well done. You are part of the problem in this country. But please tell us more about how well educated you are in this subject. Moron. I grow weary of people like you

It’s not misleading if you pay attention to punctuation. And if you read the article it’s very apparent what it means. But you like to quote incomplete sentences as a Gotchya.

This is the trend we need to see.

Despite typical fiscal conservative mantra, the fed gov NEEDS to run at a deficit. It’s literally the only way the modern economy works.

The trick is keeping it in pace with GDP growth or lower. Trump did that, and started making up for lost time.

It's funny how any time someone points out that the positive economic trends that Trump is taking credit for began under Obama, y'all scream bloody murder that that was only recovery from the great recession. As if the "recovery period" magically ended overnight on January 20th.

But then, whenever it's useful for you all to use an economic stat from Obama's 1st year in office, suddenly you have all forgotten about the great recession completely.

Obama had horrible economic policies. He focused on redistribution and created further disparity. You can say a lot about Trump, but his policies are focused on growth.

Sorry you can’t comprehend that.

No President in more than 50 years has decreased the Debt to GDP ratio in his first year in office by more than 1%. The last President to do so was Nixon in 1969. Presidents Reagan and George W. Bush decreased the Debt to GDP ratio in their first years in office but by less than 1%.



I’m a big believer in trends though the left would have you believe it’s mere coincidence

You can lead a liberal to the facts, but you can’t make them think.

Really? Please explain to me how punctuation saves the thread (and article) title from being incorrect. Go ahead, I'll wait

Could not care less. Incorrect is incorrect. If the article's headline is incorrect, why in the hell should someone get a pass for communicating said incorrect headline here? You're aware that there's no rule that thread titles much match article headlines word for word, right?

wow. i have seen libs rewrite history but this one is particularly humorous. one of the 4 worst economic presidents of american history is responsible for the current success which started when it was clear that trump was going to get elected and when he ended regulations. obama timed that one PERFECTLY

Does context matter, or do we just pretend that macroeconomics are linear and operate in a vacuum?

I'm as big a Trump guy as the next person, but that article was dumb. Looking at the data still doesn't provide much hope. Also, one year doesn't make a trend.

That is quite possibly the most simplistic and childish economic look I’ve ever seen.


DURR HURRR DEY DA SAME CUZ DEY BOTH WEN UP!

Tell me, exactly what economic policies that Obama did to directly account for the market policies.

Because I have a whole list of reasons why Trump has the fastest market growth in modern history under his belt, as well as breaking the all time high ceiling from more than 30 years ago.

Another Gateway Pundit B.S. article.

The budget deficit for 2017 was $666 billion, the largest since 2013, and the 6th biggest on record.

We get your point. You dont like Trump and you can't accept facts.

The headline and the body explain it. The facts are in the op.

Now say it with me. PRESIDENT TRUMP IS THE GREATEST
