Even despite that… the economy Obama built is still doing well under Trump. I commend him for that. But not his mouth.

Neither Obama or Trump or any other politician built our economy. The success of our economy is the result of our businesses and entrepreneurs and our capitalist system, imperfect as it is.

Word. The only thing centgov can do to help the economy is interfere as little as possible.

If people are doing well why should it matter?

Some people measure “well” with values beyond dollars…

Like what?

@FreeAndClear

I def better off now than i was 10 years ago but that was true 5 years ago for me as well. I’d say probably true for many 5 years ago

So maybe who is President isn’t such a big deal?

@SixFoot

Wha?? Damnit, they finally got Tommy!

Guilty, but it was mostly because I’m dating waaaaay out of my socio-economic strata with my girl. Her family are hilariously stereotypical “emotions are for ethnic people” WASPs. And now I’m going bougie too lol.

Tommy, you’ve really made my morning today. Thanks for that, and good fortunes to you and yours always.

If y’all will excuse me now, it’s almost 0830. Time to start rebuilding the well house. New well pump gets installed next week.

Our country has some good points and some bad points… Stop acting like it’s all unicorn farts and pixie dust

Unicorn farts cause global warming.

Because I busted my ass to get where I needed to be

Glad you took some personal responsibility with those bootstraps of yours. I hope your blood pressure recovers with the rest of that little tantrum.

Yep… I did all of that for my white co workers to insinuate I only got a promotion because I was black… Yep America still sucks at times… Lol at temper tantrum while you throw yourself a pity party in your op

Why do you care? Internal locus of control.

Actually, only one person started this thread, and he wasn’t around here 3 years ago.

Are things going really well for you too?

This hasn’t been the first of these types of threads.

Things have been great for me. I graduated college and entered the workforce in 2008. This year or next, my income will have tripled in that time. I’m in my second home with my wife of 11 years and 3 children. It’ll be paid off before my oldest goes off to college.

Life has always been generally great in America. If you’ve got to pare it down to 10 years to pit party against party then this is no more than a self fellating partisan rant. But that’s all good. There’s no surprise in it.

True, but is it better now. We’ve been at war for the past 20 years. I heard this morning there is a troop withdrawal pending from Afghanistan. Today is better than yesterday.

Good. It’s about a decade too late, but that is good news.

I had to come back because I’m afraid she’ll murder me in my sleep if I keep monologuing to her about politics lol.

Haha, I can relate all too well!

I have a truly stunning ability to fail upwards. Plus the love of a good woman and all that. After a tough few years, I just got bored with being the mid level guy everyone listened to and decided to be the bawse like Rick Ross. What’s the military call that? Command presence?

Are you better off now than you were 10 years ago?

Yes. Thanks Obama

So wrong.

@adroit

It’s interesting that the same people starting these threads were singing a different tune three years ago. And yet, many of the core metrics were basically the same (and some better and some worse). We’re in the same expansion now as we were then.

Yup. The economy is great now and sucked three years ago. I can’t figure out what the difference is.

There is the pesky little detail of Government regulations and Obama literally choked the life out of businesses and our capitalist system with his “boot on their necks” regulations that when Trump took office he simply reversed those regulations and that is what unleashed the economy. It’s called de-regulation.

When Government stays out of the free market (with minimal oversight and regulations) the economy soars but today’s Democrat Party is all about authoritarian Socialism so they are the enemy of a free market booming economy.
