Sure there isn’t. The Fed has always propped up the stock market with low interest rates during a booming economy. If we were really in a recession, we’d be looking at negative interest rates, or so I’ve been told.
No? Strange. When was the last time you posted something positive about the economy? Or even the country? Been about 3 years, hasn’t it?
WuWei:Are you better off than you were 3 years ago?
Yes. But I was better off the three years prior, also.
And I’m not a farmer who went bankrupt.
Iowa farmers seem to like him.

Open your eyes. I’ve posted praise for the numbers consistently as I did during Obama’s presidency. Because I realize it’s a continuation of the same trend.
What I’ve mocked are the sycophants who think: worst recovery ever + MAGA = best economy ever

Yay, I was spot on [1]! Nice and steady as she goes. Surely we’ll see some criticism for a lack of three quarters without 3+% growth. You know, for consistency and nonpartisan criticism, right? http://forums.hannity.com/showthread.php?2484291-GDP-Predictions-2018Q1
Continuing the longest expansion in history. That’s definitely a good thing.
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.
I think Trump has had minimal effect on the economy. Which is a good thing because he inherited one on a good trajectory. Just look at the slope of the unemployment graph from Obama’s presidency into his and it takes the same trend line. Though fewer jobs were added his first year than any year in Obama’s second term, can’t win em all. Pretty good growth so far. Though one has to wonder with the historical frequencies of contraction, when the next recession will hit. Hopefully this slow and ste…
Uh, from Jan 2015 to Dec 2016, unemployment went from 5.7 to 4.7. One percentage point. From January 2017 to August 2018, unemployment went from 4.8 to 3.9. Nine tenths of a percentage point. And your “period of stabilization” is no different than the period between Sep 2017 and Apr 2018. The trend over that entire period is pretty uniform.
And Trump hasn’t even bested what you call “nothing to brag about.” I’m not “bragging” on Obama. I’m giving him a golf clap, just like I’m giving Trump a golf clap. I’ll take a steady, long-expanding economy any day of the week. I like stability. That’s one of my biggest criticisms of Trump—he introduces instability.

Ouch…that’s going to leave an embarrassing mark.
Consistent negativity. No praise. It’s ok, I know you can’t do it.
Have a nice day.

Aside from the predictable fits that boiled over, this thread is a welcome read every few days of the week that I log in.
Not to say that libs throwing a fit isn’t a clear indicator of good fortunes, but it’s just not as exciting as how well the country is doing (still).
Oh, and anecdotally, E-85 is at $1.89 a gallon for the 4th straight week in a row. The Mid-Easy grows less and less relevant each passing month.

If you can’t remember the criteria you used a day ago, I hardly expect you’d be able to remember things from over three years ago.
The topic was about the economy, not the President. But even then, if you wouldn’t have been lazy and actually read through my example posts, you would have found where I mentioned I gave Trump the equivalent praise as Obama:
I’m not “bragging” on Obama. I’m giving him a golf clap, just like I’m giving Trump a golf clap. I’ll take a steady, long-expanding economy any day of the week. I like stability.
But go on being the most critical not-a-cult-member of Trump.

Your clever little name you’re trying to get to stick is unwieldy, awkward.
Has Trump done anything good and can you say “President Trump has done xyz well”?

Trump signing the criminal justice reform bill was good.
Trump signing Federal Parental Leave was good.
I’ve said both of those things multiple times on this board.
