Also some light reading pointing to fundamentals and policy in the Trump economy which made it superior to his predecessor

Not only did the unemployment rate continue to fall, but the percentage of Americans aged 25 to 54 either employed or looking for a job saw its first sustained rise since the late 1980s. This inflection point changed the character of the labor market.

In 2016, real median household income was $62,898, just $257 above its level in 1999. Over the next three years it grew almost $6,000, to $68,703. That’s perhaps why, despite the pandemic, 56% of U.S. voters polled last month said their families were better off today than they were four years ago.

If COVID never happened, Trump would definitely still be president. The economy is always the number 1 issue among most mainstream voters. China Joe definitely benefited from COVID.

The lead has been buried...the Trump economy saved the country from a potential collapse in the face a pandemic unlike anything seen in 100 years.

2014 median income was 58k
2016 62.8k (rate increase of 2.4k per year)
2019 68.7k (1.96k increase per year)

Yet another trend that President Obama started that Voldemort inherited. While he couldnt keep up with President Obama's pace, few could, I give him credit for not royaly screwing it up.

President Obama saved America from the recession. Good bless that man.

Jobs?

President Obama added 7.9 million jobs in his final 35 months vs the other guy's 6.7 in his first 35 months

Pay Increase?

A result of Counties and States already having scheduled minimum wage to increase. Example - Montgomery County passed legislation increasing minimum wage from $10.75 in 2017 to $15 by 2020.

Deficit?

3.507 Trillion total for President Obamas last 4 years

4.327 Trillion for the other guy for his only 4 years

(his last year does not include Covid, if it did, the deficit for 2020 would be 4.2T and not the 1.181T used for comparison to President Obama)

Voldemort; I'm unfamiliar with this term. But I prefer Bunker Boy.

So Trump inherited it and sustained/improved it (pre-COVID), wouldn't that deserve credit?

Revision history on Obama's presidency is the strongest force in the world.

Breakdown of the last 3 presidencies:

- Bush 2 sucked and did every wrong
- Obama was the most amazing president ever born, he fixed everything Bush did wrong, his economy was the greatest the world has ever seen, and he was so good he gets all credit for anything good that happened during Trump's presidency
- Bunker Boy is the devil incarnate, who literally did not accomplish 1 thing during his presidency

And for the next 4 years, Biden won't be held accountable for anything. It will all be blamed on Trump.

Lol I see you capping months and manipulating the data....I’ll take the last 4 here...and 35 months here ( cause that makes sense)...and I’ll do the avg here and let’s not focus on doubling national debt...or give credit of job growth past this point...or talk zero% wage growth percentage here with Obama...or impact of tax policy.

Just re read the article...it’s cool. I understand your upset at trump economy where his policies directly impacted folks lives.

What was your impact policy directive from Obama? His brilliant legislation?

set the graph to ten years and re read the article.

Why are you so mad about record economic fundamentals across the board in the trump Presidential years? Why do you hate to see people do well especially black and Hispanic? I don’t get it...it must be that Baltimore political influence of keep people broke and desperate...never doing a fucking thing for them, after 40 years of Democratic rule.

Oh Trump helped folks get off food stamps at an enormous rate as well...under Obama welfare increase, even as the economy recovered...why is that?

Yet you complain about not getting covid handouts stimulus checks, while that money should go to the most in need. Figures
