The economy is good because thats the way Obama left it.Even with a good economy Trump has increased the deficit from 600 billion a year to 1.1 trillion a year.
And yet, less Americans voted for Hillary than Obama. Then again, maybe Americans were underwhelmed by more than just Obama’s economy. As for Trump’s budget increase, you have him by the balls on that one. Trump was being concillitory in part towards the Democrats, it seems. I see Trump’s bloated budget as a stain on his Presidency in spite of heavy Partisan weighted spending in the Obama Administration that left some Republican programs apparently “starved” for funding. Conservative principles call for smaller Government. Unfortunately, the difference between “talk” and “walk” can be large at times.
Left office with a 60% approval rating,considered a top 12 president by historians and won over 50% of the vote twice,only 1 of 4 presidents to do so in the last 119 years.
Yes tax cuts for the the rich and a military that is funded more than the next 13 countries militaries combined needs to be fed.
Reduced deficet from 1.2 trillion a year to 600 billion a year Killed Bin Laden Ended Iraq war Saved auto industry Ended dont ask dont tell Stopped Iran from getting nukes Federal Recognition of Same-Sex Marriages Ended Bush torture policies Normalized Relations with Cuba Protected DREAMers from Deportation etc etc etc
You have a pattern of showing this chart with this short history and specific race instead of ther broader “minorities” category in an attempt to support your agrument that Obama was somehow a competent President. A chart with a longer time frame is shown below in order to show the history of Black unemployment under other Presidential Administrations. In addition, as employment nears full capacity, incremental gains are harder to come by. This is why record all time low minority unemployment is such a big deal. Almost all of Obama’s minority employment changes were recovery, not net gains. However, the more volatile Black unemployment chart is below: Looks like there was a recent uptick, though. As this longer term charts shows, Obama did nothing special for Black Unemployment as President in spite of Congress and the Federal Reserve handing him the world. I will not bother to look up the broader “minorities” category of unemployment that may show stronger numbers for Trump right now.
Yeah,coming into office with black unemployment around 20% and leaving office with it around 7 % is not an accomplishment.
