is what the current sitting president said standing up as he ran for President.And " jobs,jobs,jobs !!! " is what he gave the American people. 3.7 Million jobs have been added !. 601,ooo More Americans have entered the labor force !. Well over 155 Million americans are working ! A record high. Rememeber when Donald Trump was campaigning and he promised More Jobs.Obama *chimed in but refused to mention Donald Trump by name and asked rhetorically in mocking tones " How exactly are you gonna do that.What magic wand to you have .? " As if that breaks with Obama's New normal for jobs as if ... Good luck. Of course would Obama's Democrats like Pelosi and DNC chair Perez even acknowledge that being " It's a good thing " as if Martha Stewart. Of course not.In fact they are treating this new Friday Jobs report the exact same way they treated President Trumps Tax cuts. With mocking tones and derision. As if all those jobs are some kind of secret plot by Republicans to reward their base.That this Trump economy is " reckless and a raw deal ". We have truly entered a new dimension in Politics. No clearer a picture and distinction can be made. The Democrat Party virtually exists to Penalize working American Citizens.It's as obvious as cotton candy at a Carnival. * June 2016 in Elkhart,In. at a Town Hall
To be realistic, business created the jobs. What Trump did was change the attitude of business from negative to positive. He certainly gets credit for that.
Trump's policies have generated an economic boom with very low inflation. And this while the corrupt political establishment works overtime to obstruct reform and crash the economy.
Yes, and I give Trump's policies and attitude towards capitalism full credit for this economic and jobs boom but I do wonder what his tarriff war is going to do to us economically farther down the line. I figure that it will end with most involved nations renegotiating with the U.S. for a fairer deal -- one in which the U.S.A. does NOT continue the tradition of bending over and grabbing its ankles. But we shall see.
US Federal spending is at One Hundred Thirty-Eight Percent. US Debt is up One Hundred Sixty-Nine Percent. A bump in the markets for massive debt and a potential recession?
In Obama's first 2 years in office he ran up budget deficits of 2009 - $ 1.412 Trillion 2010 - $ 1.293 Trillion Bush Budget Deficits 2000 - $ 236.2 Billion 2001 - $ 128.2 Billion 2007 - $ 161.7 Billion
The new jobs are clearly not government jobs. "A little more than a month into the Trump administration’s hiring freeze, the federal government’s footprint in D.C. is already starting to shrink. The region lost 2,700 federal jobs between January and February, according to data released Friday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in what could be the first real impact of Donald Trump’s policies on the health of the local economy." THE WASHINGTON POST, Trump’s war on the federal bureaucracy may already be hurting D.C.’s economy, By Aaron Gregg March 24, 2017. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...hurting-d-c-s-economy/?utm_term=.7e29a54f87cc
The result of effective Trump tax cuts that generated eight years of continuous job growth and still going strong
Then why is consumer debt higher now than it was before the 2008-9 crash? How many of those jobs are full-time jobs? How many are near-minimum-wage jobs?
Eliminating entire government agencies and departments would be even better. There are plenty of productive private sector jobs for the for fired government workers now. Return the savings back to the productive working class and win more elections.
After setting records for the length of business expansion you can't credibly make the case business' attitude was negative under Obama. What is fair to say for Trump is he improved confidence by making it known his focus would be on business expansion (until he started a trade war) at the expense of the environment, consumer protections, the public's health, putting the country at risk of another financial meltdown, and public safety standards. Most importantly, Repubs completely reversed their position on the national debt from what it was when Obama was prez which allowed for the passage of a hugely deficit increasing tax cut largely benefiting corporations and the wealthy.
But..........most governmental regulatory measures and the people hired to implement them came in to existence as a result of abuses by private industry that put the public's health, safety, and security at risk.
That's complete BS. The lying liberal media told you that. The truth is DEMS passed the recent Omnibus spending package, part 2 of economic prosperity. More than half of republican senators voted against the bill. Here is a list of the 32 Senators who voted against the Omnibus spending bill: Barrasso (R-Wyo.) Booker (D-N.J.) Cassidy (R-La.) Corker (R-Tenn.) Cotton (R-Ark.) Crapo (R-Idaho) Cruz (R-Tex) Daines (R-Mont.) Enzi (R-Wyo.) Ernst (R-Iowa) Feinstein (D-Calif.) Fischer (R-Neb.) Flake (R-Ariz.) Gardner (R-Colo.) Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) Grassley (R-Iowa) Harris (D-Calif.) Johnson (R-Wisc.) Kennedy (R-La.) Lankford (R-Okla.) Lee (R-Utah) Markey (D-Mass.) McCaskill (D-Mo.) Merkley (D-Ore.) Paul (R-Ky.) Perdue (R-Ga.) Risch (R-Idaho) Sanders (I-Vt.) Sasse (R-Neb.) Sullivan (R-Alaska) Tillis (R-N.C.) Warren (D-Mass.) Senators Not Voting: Burr (R-N.C.) McCain (R-Ariz.) Toomey (R-Pa.)
“It can now be said that Republican lawmakers care about the federal deficit only when they want to use it to bash Democratic presidents,” opined The New York Times editorial board in a searing op-ed. “I’m old enough to remember when the Republican Party was pro-FBI, pro-morality and anti-deficits,” scoffed Max Boot in The Washington Post. In Politico, David Rogers argued that the GOP’s credibility on fiscal issues had eroded with the passage of two bills: “The White House can no longer hide the immense deficits it would create.” It’s true: Despite consistently arguing that deficit reduction is not just a core Republican priority, but an existential imperative, when in power Republicans have shown no fiscal restraint whatsoever—the deficit has increased significantly faster under Republican presidents than Democratic ones. The problem is, even without any credibility on the deficit, Republicans aren’t going to change their tune. As it is, they’re already laying the groundwork to reverse position as soon as they’re out of power, when they’ll once again reclaim the mantle of restraint. It’s all part of a decades-old GOP scam. The real economic dynamic of the Republican Party is: Spend big today, recant tomorrow. https://newrepublic.com/article/147063/gop-deficit-scam-will-never-die So much for all that sanctimony about fiscal responsibility. Forever and always, it can now be said that Republican lawmakers care about the federal deficit only when they want to use it to bash Democratic presidents. After embracing $1.5 trillion in debt by slashing taxes on corporations and wealthy families in December, the Republican leaders in Congress pushed through a two-year budget deal on Friday that will increase spending by nearly $400 billion. While a lot of that money will be spent on important priorities like disaster relief, infrastructure and education, a big chunk of it will go to an excessive and unnecessary military buildup. Contrast this with the parsimony Republican lawmakers displayed in 2011 when they refused to raise the federal debt limit until President Barack Obama agreed to deep cuts to government programs. “If you were against President Obama’s deficits, and now you’re for the Republican deficits, isn’t that the very definition of hypocrisy?” Senator Rand Paul said as he held up passage of the budget bill for a few hours — perhaps until he realized that the definition fit him, too, since he had voted for the tax cuts that will blow up the deficit. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/10/opinion/sunday/republicans-deficit-debt.html The Repubs are hypocrites on deficits, pure and simple.

Obama was clearly anti business. Every business person felt it and knew it. It wasn't hard for trump to change the mood.
