For the record although I think our recent growth and likely continued growth (hint it's a good time to get in if you are truly long) is based on legitimate economic optimism Trump is at least short sighted for openly taking credit. You tie your success to the market when it goes up and you better believe that your entire legitimacy will then be questioned when it inevitably goes down.
Moral of the story, Trump talks way too much
down like the last 4 months? OK, intentional sarcasm.
as I said before, too much credit, too much blame, but he is so unpredictable that the roller coaster is moving waaay too fast for comfort. Stable people do inspire comfort. He seems to inspire testosterone.
Despite lying eyes here (and legit individual exclusion from the last 9 years) recovery from the Great Recession did happen, and it happened after a very long rough period. And it continues to happen at a similar pace when all factors are looked at impartially.
And if one gives credit to Obama, they logically have to give credit to Bush who started the bailouts.
Gummy, not kidding with this question, I am in over my head in matters that get too deep in national economy matters, but did the bailouts truly extend for 8 years of Obama? I thought much had been paid back (if not pocketed by those scoundrels now reappearing) after they were given out, including all the way back to the Bush origins.
