I’m not sick of winning just quite yet.

He inherited unemployment, tax cuts to the middle class were virtually nothing, unions aren’t all a bad thing since I like weekends and PTO and holidays. Again, where is the MAGA. Without the steady Obama train, Trump would have nothing to brag about.

Clearly the trend in this graph started in January 2012. Giving Trump credit for not messing it up is hardly a win in a normal presidency.

This, and when I sit here a type this out I know far too many college educated people who are still underemployed and work two to three jobs.

Tax cuts that dramatically increase the wealth gap that will continually exacerbate this problem of poor and lower middle class working several jobs to get by isn’t MAGA for those groups.

Yeah, because the UE rate has been stagnant under his watch (roll eyes). Oh, I saw projections of 4.5% GDP growth coming (super MAGA). Something we haven't seen in decades.

Also, MAGA = Gorsuch and one more before Nov!

This is true...well, unless you overlook grabbing them by their pussy.

Has there ever been a president who sided with Russia or any other country hostile to the U.S. over our own intelligence agencies?

Trump cites Russia’s denial of meddling: ‘Where is the DNC Server?’

Welp. Kept going down and along with a GDP growth that has increased that's a pretty good job. Yeah, Obummer wasn't exactly a friend to business. Trump's train keeps rolling 7.9% black unemployment to 5.9% in a year and a half. Keep denying the facts.

And, excuse me. What is the acceptable term now for "People of Color who are darker than most" ? I'm called "White" or Caucasian. Aren't "People of Color who are darker than most" classified as "Black' or Negroid? Oh. But "Negroid" is offensive.

I can't tell the players without a scorecard. Enlighten me oh Progressive one of unknown origin.

Thank goodness the Rs took control of the House in 2010 and turned the economic tide by slowing Obama's agenda which lead to >10% UE after his first two years.

Hysterical...I find it incredibly ironic when the left lamblasts CEOs for their "corporate greed" yet, think it's wonderful how corrupt union bosses are who dont give a flying flip about who they supposedly represent, but instead care about lining their own pockets.

I think it will take yet another recession caused by a severe lack of spending power by the poor and middle class to show you there is a difference between unemployed and underemployed (toss in underpaid also). Underpinnings of a recession have been rearing their ugly heads.

Perfect example, teachers right here in Phoenix. College educated, full time job, they cannot afford a car, home, food, loan debt, etc with what they are paid. Even older teachers must have either roommates or second jobs. This kind of economy is not sustainable without a real increase to buying power of the poor and middle class.
