    Why not? Do you think Donald Trump has not dome well in life? A good way to judge a person is how their children are doing. Trump is happy and he's a winner. What's wrong with that?

    So you don't have a problem with your boys being womanizers.

    You are Ok with them hiring folks and not paying them after they have completed the job.

    You are ok with them discriminating against folks.

    You are ok with them dishonoring men who have served this country most of their adult lives.

    You are ok with them not serving when their country calls them.

    Cherry picked I gave you almost two decades. We know when you can't refute the facts you produce your specious dodges.

    My points stand as posted.

    I have no idea of what your graphs are all trying to show but the fact is the economy is accelerating and we are finally getting to where we should have been 6 years ago.

    No, I can’t stand conservative detachment from reality. The economy has been on the same steady upswing for 9 years.

    Yes, you cherry picked.

    First of all, you said that stock needed to recoup losses from 2008, which is true, but under which president did 2008 occur? Wait, don't answer, we already know that you'll blame this on Dems taking congress in 2007.

    Second, you cherry picked the stalling of the stock market in 2015, 1.5 years of going sideways under Obama, while failing to mention the good years before 2015.

    Third, you conveniently forgot to mention that the stock market has been going sideways in 2018, so the notion that it is just up, up, up under Trump is nonsense.

    Me, I invest whether a Democrat of Republican is president, because time in the market beats timing the market. I don't have a need to cherry pick stock market data to make my guy look good.

    False I gave you years.

    Well DUH the Democrats took majority control a year earlier. You will laughably claim Reid and Pelosi then did his bidding.

    Yes we continental through those years and when the economy was stalling for lack of a recovery.

    Actually we are hitting records again but the stockmarket is not a direct reflection of GGP.

    You just don't want to talk about Democrat times and the failure of their policies.
    Lack of rebuttal noted.

    We've had a very nice pick up in Civilian employment since Trump took over.

    [​IMG]

    When Trump took over we had 152,076k folks working in this Great Country. 18 months later 155,965k were saddled up for a gain of 3,889k.

    In Obama's final 18 months, only 3,246k additional folks went to work.

    So, if you were happy with Obama's performance, you must be thrilled with Trump's which is a 1/5th better!

    Whatever the case, the Working Folks in the country elected Trump and are very satisfied with the job he is doing.

    He's off to one hell of a start!

    #MAGA Happy Labor Day!

    Lol, I'm sorry. Did you think that response was a rebuttal of some sort?

    And you apparently didn't click on the link. The charts are from the white house office of budget and management.

    How many times do you guys need this bullshit to be debunked? I literally showed you the economy has been on the same exact steady upswing for 9 straight years. NOTHING trump has done has had any positive, or negative effect on the economy. All he has managed to do, is add TRILLIONS to the deficit with his welfare handout to the richest 1%.

    You're fighting with the American People over the last Election. You guys ran a dud and we ran a very successful competent person who is doing a great job.

    GDP is up 84%
    Growth in the Federal Debt is down a 1/6th
    Civilian Employment is up a 1/5th
    Wages are finally outpacing inflation.
    And Consumer Confidence is soaring!

    Are you just pissed off that working Americans are finally seeing real improvement?
