Oh wait... this was in 2016!!

Gee, from reading all the "great" news from our president's tax cut, I thought the economy was terrible before he got into office....

Hey - just keeping it real everyone.

Let see punkin.....

I will now show you how it really is.

Class in session.

If I have a nickle, and someone gives me another nickle, my wealth has just doubled.

However, doubled as it has, it still lacks the necessities needed once put into context of reality.

Now, those nickles have acquired growth, but the doubling takes longer, since the gap is so much larger to bridge, and the workforce ( the elements needed to build it) smaller.

Now my 20 thousand nickles doubled every week......

Because the workforce now has the capacity to ramp up construction, for it is no longer constrained by regulations that slow its progress....

Now these nickles do have the capacity to erect real change in my life, in any context, not just some lame arse graph that won't buy a nickles worth of crap....

Class dismissed.    

As soon as someone rolls out the pet names, you know they have nothing.

Too easy Drill Instructor!

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

it's way too early to tell exactly what effect this tax cut is going to have, and I hope it works and people get raises and better jobs and more jobs, I do, but it hasn't even been a MONTH yet. cool your jets

here's the Obama numbers:

"
The economy gained a net 11.5 million jobs. The unemployment rate dropped to below the historical norm.

Average weekly earnings for all workers were up 4.1 percent after inflation. The gain was 3.7 percent for just production and nonsupervisory employees.

After-tax corporate profits also set records, as did stock prices. The S&P 500 index rose 166 percent.

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.

Home prices rose 20 percent. But the home ownership rate hit the lowest point in half a century.

Illegal immigration declined: The Border Patrol caught 35 percent fewer people trying to get into the U.S. from Mexico.

Wind and solar power increased 369 percent. Coal production declined 38 percent. Carbon emissions from burning fossil fuel dropped 11 percent.
Production of handguns rose 192 percent, to a record level.

The murder rate dropped to the lowest on record in 2014, then rose and finished at about the same rate as when Obama took office.

Trump has always been born on third  and thinks he hit a home run.
