Obama left Trump record stock levels and they were increasing and going to new highs on a regular basis.

Blame means nothing, only the facts, part of the sheer ignorance comes from a lack of understanding of cause and effect that cannot be blamed on the other party. Here's how simple it is.

Bush took over an economy that had a budget surplus, more coming in than was being spent. Rather than use that surplus to pay down the debt, or even invest in much needed infrastructure that would have made an even better economy by putting people to work and further increasing tax revenues because there are more people making incomes (that's how it works folks), Bush made his infamous Bush tax cuts. Pure common sense and a basic grasp of math would tell anyone that if you reduce tax revenues that is going to alter the budget by exactly the amount the revenues are reduced.

So it's extremely clear that Bush took a budget surplus, and ran up a spending spree to where the budget deficit was $1.3 Trillion. It's worth noting in this factual narrative that Clinton's "killer" taxes created an economy that added over 20 million jobs, meanwhile Bush along with his budget busting tax cuts and spending lost over 20 million jobs. Now intelligent people could easily make a connection here. Higher taxes didn't hurt jobs and the economy, lower taxes did not seem to help create jobs, both positions proved through two 8 year administrations that perfectly make the points.

Back to Obama and the economy he inherited, stock market in the crapper, unemployment at over 11%, 800,000 more jobs lost in January, foreclosures at a ridiculous level (25% if I recall correctly). Yes it's fair to say that the economy and the shape it was in was Bush's fault, what else can a thinking person think?

The other thing that was definitely Obama's fault was the economy Trump inherited, 5% unemployment, record stock prices being regularly posted, home values and sales extremely strong, over 80 straight months of jobs growth, which was a record for decades. So yeah, we'll take responsibility for an economy Trump took over that was Obama's "fault".

Trump inherited a great economy, an economy is like a ship's direction, hard to turn, a good economy will keep on going good until you start screwing with things, and the effects will take time to cause the direction to change.

Trump has thrown monkey wrench after monkey wrench into this economy, starting with tax cuts that can do only one thing, add the amount of the cut to the deficit. Anyone who believes tax cuts have done anything for this economy are living in a delusional world. The tiny increases working class people will see will be eaten up by higher gasoline prices, which will make the prices of everything else go up.

Trump will be adding subsidies for farmers, ranchers, and processors to the deficit as well. The GOP is running record pork spending riders into the budget as well, and when dems object they will be blamed for shutting down government When the debt ceiling needs to be raised because it's increasing exponentially with budget deficits, and they try to deny republicans their frivolous projects.

I blame Obama. Obama blamed Bush for his deficits and you guys want to give Obama credit for Trump's fantabulous economy. Therefore, do you like that big word, therefore Trump's deficits are left over from Obama.

How does it feel to have your own logic used agin you ? Oh wait, I know what you will say. " It feels SILLY.

No son,


You people are not using any logic..

when we point out that most of President Obama spending was caused by the events when Bush was in office, we can provide that information..

Plan D, two wars, the great recession for quick points.. and the tax cuts on top of that..

the orange fool took over a repaired economy, a world that finally recovered.

but his first accomplishment is a huge unneeded tax gift to the rich and corporations..

The tariff joke followed that..

this huge, destructive deficit and trade war is all on the orange fool. He is the dumbest and most criminal thing to ever walk the white house..
