Re: 23K
Look guys, why do you think it is that Trump spent time discounting economic statistics during the campaign? The same economic statistics he touts now. It's because those economic statistics were saying thins were going well. So he said statistics showing declining unemployment were fake because of workforce participation. And he said the stock market was in a bubble. So on and so forth.
So now things have basically continued as they were going and all of a sudden the statistics are real.

Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

I don’t necessarily disagree. How much has fundamentally changed since the last bubble? And what has Trump done to limit the next?UNI88 wrote:They called the economic recovery under Obama a "jobless recovery" for one thing.

Re: 23K
How much of the Great Obama Economy benefitted the middle class?
How much will the Trump economy benefit the middle class?
Our jobs reports and our economic strength indicators seem to be completely divorced from each other

There is no way that indicates "HEY! Things really took off after Trump got elected!
