    he's been removing regulations this whole time. you've just been too busy calling him a russian nazi to realize it.

    he had already cut 86 billion in regulations all the way back in april. http://thehill.com/regulation/329720-study-trump-has-eliminated-86b-in-regs

    you really have ZERO idea of what you speak. i would say nobody should listen to you but i don't have to because nobody does.

    oh and rahl, you absolutely did say that deregulation does not spur growth, that's why i posted the NBER article proving you wrong.

    you just lied about that, so you have zero credibility.

    The day Trump was elected the Economy and the stock market took off. American business men and investors breathed a huge sigh of relief and opened up their wallets.Companies started hiring, people started spending and this was and is because a socialist president was replaced with a capitalist president.

    Obama never led from the front. He was perpetually behind.

    Capitalist? He wants to restrict free trade, impede the flow of labor and punish companies for not doing what he wants. And the only economic source he cited during his campaign was a leftist think tank. And the stock market did pretty well under Obama -- one of the longest bull market's in America's history. And, from what I recall, it normally gets a bump after elections because there is now less uncertainty.

    Yep page not found certainly puts me down. Or are you Still trying to qclaim no coal exports before Trump. And somehow you forgot to explain how oil exports lead to oil independence. As I said before the boom in production was due to fracking had zero to do with Trump. And lifting the ban on exports had nothing to do with Trump either. So guess it is now proven that Trump did nothing. Even the one coal mine that reopened was scheduled before Trump.

    So i guess you should have informed yourself before getting into a topic you don't understand.
    The stock market got a bump under Trump because investors thought he was really going to significantly drop income taxes for the rich and drop the corporate tax rate without actually eliminating any corporate tax loopholes.

    And who benefits from the stock market surge? Hint: it isn't the poor and middle class.

    I've never called him any such thing.

    Nothing trump has done has had any measureable effect on the economy. No single person or act can affect the economy within a month or two, short of a huge disaster, like 9/11 or hurricane Katrina.

    Booming? Obama as far as economics as a President was an abysmal failure. After a crash like that, you could have just stayed out of the way and had at least a couple of years with 4% growth. You keep acting like starting at rock bottom was a detriment to Obama's growth numbers, but it should have been a gimme. He was completely unfriendly to private business competition. Of course, he was great if you aligned your investment portfolio or business plan with his political interest, but alas, picking winners and losers with government renders overall terrible results. He was absolutely **** as far as economics.

    Jobs are not a measure of productivity or growth. It is a political ploy to use job numbers.

    To be honest, folks that feared competition, usually those that wrote the regulations of their industry, really wanted Hillary and loved Obama. They are usually the industry leaders that remain in place not through innovation or increased productivity, but through obstacles to competition. This is why the economy stagnates under corporatism. Meanwhile, there are still drones out there who think that the rich and powerful hate regulations. Regulations protect the folks at the very top.

    To everyone that still thinks Obama was so much better than Trump here is something to think about.

    It's funny how Obama sided with illegal aliens and sued the AZ State government and yet so many people see him as such a great president for the American people. Not sure how great he is when he takes the side of illegals over his own people. Yeah he's such a great guy.....NOT.

    Those dreamers that he said should vote can keep on dreaming because the DNC lost and I would still take Trump any day over Hillary or Obama.

    ...GDP Expected to Hit 3.8% in Third Quarter 2017!

    ... Obama was the only American President to never hit the 3% mark.

    She made two claims: What is your case that either or both are untrue?

    Reality disagrees with you.

    Lol, the financial and housing sectors of the economy completely failed. It took several years to pull out of that.
    Yea, unemployment from 10% down to less than 5%. Record stock market. Record consecutive months of economic growth. **** alright, lol.

    These are the kinds of statements made by people who have no ****ing clue about economics. Which is why we got to idols down voodoo economics from Ronnie Raygun.

    The fact that Obama had more than a 3% increase, more than once?
