O's last three years of growth all beat the king's best year......just a gentle reminder that sources can VERIFY anything you want....

Presidents get too much credit, and take too much blame for the economy?

And the last three years of Obama's second term? That was when the Republicans held the House, so maybe it was their economy? Or most likely, it is due to the Fed policies that have kept the economy going beyond the normal ten year boom/bust cycle.

Trump? He is a huckster, first and foremost. He is going to constantly work to convince you that the economy is going good because that helps to keep the economy going. If you tell people that unemployment is rising and the economy is slowing, they will decrease spending and refuse to take on new debt.
So the Democrats trying to push the message that the economy is declining, the trade balance is in the red, and inflation is eating up all wage gains could wind up hurting the voters they are trying to reach. And should they win the election, they might find themselves having to deal with a new recession they helped to create.

Can you remind us what magical policies Obama put into place that saved the bottomed out economy? If Obama did nothing but bail out the banks (which every president would have done) and did nothing else... please make the case that the economy would not have bounced back on it's own.

I believe the economy would have recovered much faster had Obama not scared the crap out of businesses with his ACA and excessive regulations. So please HA, what was that magic bullet Obama put into the economy that makes this HIS economy 3 years after he left office. I'm sure your answer will be as enlightening as usual.

Great point. The Left always wants to say this is Obama's economy but then refuse to list which of his policies and executive orders helped out the economy. I do know Barack was proud of the increased regulations that his bureau's wrote up. Trump promising to repeal many of these helped to convince business that this was a pro-corporate economy. One you wanted to invest in.
