DMV...Trump came into office with a GOP majority in BOTH the House and the Senate, and they had two years to do what ever they wanted...the Dems were powerless then...golden opportunity to legislate and alter America in a conservative way...what happened?...tax cuts for the wealthy and for corporations...any other legislative fixes to make America great?

wall? nope

Muslim ban? nope

OK, you got two Supreme Court Justices, but those were gimmees...

and environmental de-regulation to unleash businesses...wonder how that's gonna end?


the Dems then won a majority in the House, effective at the beginning of 2019, and every legislative initiative by the Dems has been stonewalled by McConnell and the GOP Senate...



None of what you just vomited had anything to do with the OP nor my response. NONE.

I was really going to put "Thank you for a moment of clarity in deciding how important your vote really is.". I'm glad I didn't. You DGAS about this nation, your family nor yourself.

Ornageman bad...stay tuned to Twitter it'll instruct you how to think and act. Mika is less rabid than you!

here's a fact for you: Trump promised "GDP of 4%, 5%, even 6% is possible" ... it never exceeded 3%

really? Wow.

In context it's even worse as he inherited an economy that had moved well beyond the mess that President Cheney left for Obama.

Both men ran saying they would actually fix the problem.

Obama left after 8 years not knowing how to get there without magic wands.

totally inaccurate.

both the economy and the stock market (which is not part of the economy that the potus is judged by) were rising for the bulk of Obama's tenure despite a declaration by McConnell that the Senate's only goal would be to prevent his reelection.

And what he inherited from Cheney was a financial disaster and very ugly war(s).

Not even worth denying.

get serious, that's just partisan silliness.
The hand he was dealt compared to the hand he left Trump...night and day.

The status of our international relationships and the esteem in which we are held around the world...night and day.

Race relations...night and day, despite the fact that that beer he had "tore the country apart" according to some here.
Maybe the silliest of all attacks on the truth.

And yet he could have done better, but once again he had a Congress instructed to prevent reelection by some great Americans openly...OPENLY...saying party over country. (sarcasm for those with reading disabilities).

But it's part of the job. He did it without even calling anyone a poopy head.

U.S. Industrial Production Rises for Third Straight Month
The measure of output at factories, mines and utilities rose a seasonally adjusted 3% in July

U.S. industrial production increased in July for the third month in a row, as the economy continues its slow recovery.

Industrial production—a measure of output at factories, mines and utilities—rose a seasonally adjusted 3% in July from June, the Federal Reserve said Friday, following a revised 5.7% rise in June. Economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal expected a 2.8% increase in July.

Despite the gains, industrial production remains 8.2% below the same month a year ago.

Rubeela Farooqi, chief U.S. economist for High Frequency Economics said the July number was “another strong increase in output” but warned that those gains remain fragile.

“Output was boosted by a fuller reopening in July but weak demand and virus outbreaks that can interrupt activity remain a threat,” she wrote in a note to clients.


Manufacturing, the biggest component of production, rose 3.4%, driven by a 28.3% increase in car and car parts industries.

Production by utilities was up 3.3%, due to an increased use of air conditioning because of unusually warm weather. Mining increased 0.8%.

Capacity utilization, a measure of slack in the industrial economy, rose to 70.6% in July from a revised 68.5% in June, the Fed said. Economists had expected capacity utilization to reach 70.2%.

Earlier this month, two surveys of purchasing managers also indicated manufacturing activity was slowly expanding, following a sharp decline in the spring when lockdowns to prevent the spread of the coronavirus pandemic shut down factories and disrupted supply chains.

“I would describe it as a revolutionary moment when the range of possibilities is much greater than in normal times,” he said. “What is inconceivable in normal times becomes not only possible but actually happens. People are disoriented and scared.”

are you better off now than 4 years ago?

as for me, no.

Actually, yes. I am much better off now than I was 4 years ago. And to go one further, the last 4 years exceed the previous 16 years (Obama &W) greatly.
