Quote:The unemployment rate is a deceptive statistic since it only counts those still looking for work. The labor participation rate is more telling and that is lower than any time since the 1940s.


I do think it is funny that as soon as the country knew that Obama's policies were going to be demolished by Trump, the economy picked up major steam.


The truth is that in 8 years of Obama, we never had a single quarter of 3% or greater GDP growth, he is the only President to ever pull that feat off. Typically, when the economy goes in the crapper, you can at least grow it back quickly. This hasn't been a recovery, this is a sick wilted and stunted plant that's been fed poison for 8 years.
