just as an aside to all this, AT&T, handed out bonuses because of the Trump tax cuts, then cut like 20,000 jobs, Wal-mart handed out bonuses and increased their minimum wage, praised the Trump tax cuts, and then closed like 20 Sam Club stores....
if you look at the job/employment numbers, well, there's nothing showing a great jump in job creation, it's all along the same trend line

The number of people lacking health insurance dropped by 15 million. Premiums rose, but more slowly than before.
The federal debt owed to the public rose 128 percent. Deficits were rising as Obama departed.
