    Feds raised rates more times in trumps first year than they did over eight years with Obama and they very plainly said why. They feared inflation from an economy they considered too hot and purposely slowed it down

    I asked before and during. What laws did they pass to help mitigate the slowdown and recession andnhow did they work out?

    BTW saying someone is dishonest will get your post deleted and your question wasn't ask of me.

    The FED raised the rate .75% under Obama and .75% Tramp's first year/

    The Federal Reserve prefers to keep the fed funds rate between 2 and 5 percent. It's the sweet spot that maintains a healthy economy. That's where the nation's gross domestic product grows between 2 percent and 3 percent annually. It has a natural unemployment rate between 4.5 percent and 5 percent. Price increases remain below the Fed's inflation target of a 2 percent core inflation rate. The fed funds rate was 2.5 percent as of March 21, 2019.

    Such a non argument.

    GWB was at the helm... hence... he is responsible.

    Thanks for making my point for me. Feds raised rates in one year of trump at least as much as they did over eight years of Obama and they did so to tamp down trumps booming economy because they feared it would lead to inflation.

    A salient observation, if you only argument is "well he was president" you ain't got one.


    As I said.

    No matter how many times you refute his bullshit, he will continue parroting it. I’ve been doing it for years and it never changes.

    Companies hiring? Lots of jobs available? Huge demand for people with intelligence, skill, education and experience?

    Well... that excludes all the bums who have gotten very comfortable living on handout government welfare and "subsidies", along with much of the rest of the radical Democrat Party.

    Good economy? Great economy with lots of good jobs? Who cares? If you lay around on your ass all day, collecting whatever the government will send you, and paying no income tax, what difference would it make to you? It makes no difference to that faction whether the economy does 'well' or not... their government handouts arrive on time whether it's 'boom-times' or a 'Great Recession'....

    So he used his magic wand to start the economic trend which began in 2010, and has remained unchanged ever since? As in, every economic metric has been on the exact same unchanging trend for 9 straight years. Nothing trump has done since taking office has affected that trend.

    Is that what you are saying? That he used a wand to change the past? Lol

    I asked you a simple question, why does that grate you so? And I didn't say it didn't, cool off and slowdown.

    And you said

    Apparently just once.
