posted by Dr Winston O'BoogieHe doesn't rattle me. I don't have any hard feelings toward the guy. I just like to use him as a composite character representing people that see their world view as the one and only way. I don't think I - or anyone else - will every change his mind. But he provides a ready-made platform to comment.
Exactly why i said he has been doing this for nearly a decade.
The credit goes to the philosophy that we can do great things when uninhibited by big government, and everyone can benefit up and down the socio-economic ladder. Amazingly it took an outsider to get the ship righted, so yes, a ton of credit is due. Many citizens have never experienced the political phenomenon we are witnessing: promises made, promises kept.
I like to post in order to remind some people about things they may not otherwise be aware of, due to the massive media bias, now made worse by their personal disdain and hatred of the president.
Thus:
7 million jobs currently available, more than we have people to fill them (unless you count the deadbeats still living off the obama teat).
Record low unemployment, particularly among blacks, Latinos, Asians.
Growth spring-boarding back toward 4% from 8 lousy post-recession years.
Tax cuts that have dramatically spurred economic expansion and investment.
Energy policy that is making the U.S. the leader in the world and a net exporter.
And it is also good that businesses no longer feel threatened by an administration that took a billy club to them every time they turned around.
So, yeah, it is good to be reminded of what is really happening in the country, instead of the constant negativism spewed every minute of the day by the left-wing MSM.
And if you or others don’t need/want reminders, use ignore or whatever.
But his pattern of posting articles highlighting positives in the economy and concluding that we now have "change we can (really) believe in" makes very clear who he thinks is responsible.
At least Trump doesn't have to lie about how things really are so he can pat himself on the back for a fake achievement....
Sanctions against Iran put back in place, had been lifted by obama under sham deal.

You do see the irony here, right? Pairing it with the tariffs, of course.

He doesn't have to, no. I'd imagine he'll still find a reason, though.
Media all of the sudden says Trump should be talking about the economy, must realize that great majority side with Trump on immigration. Hilarious how they shift; tools.

But you won't when a libertarian president does it.

If he does it to put the flags at half mast or declare a national holiday, you're right. I won't.
I also won't if a Republican or Democrat does it to put the flags at half mast or declare a national holiday.
However, if they use it to unilaterally pass new legislation, you bet your ass I'll bitch about it. Using it that way wouldn't be a very libertarian thing to do.
As always, record tax revenues pouring into the federal treasury on the heels of tax cuts and the growing economy. Of course, the swamp spent it all and more.

That's going to be horrible for the area.

Since every single movement in our economy seems to be caused by the president (according to Quaker), how will Trump atone for this one? Oh wait, it's only if the movement happens to be positive. If it is not positive, it is due a little to democrats, liberals and "the left". But its mostly due to Obama.
