What I immediately noticed were the tax cuts, which I daresay had nothing to do with Obama. Still, I found your "8 year delay" claim rather interesting, so I decided to do some digging. And according to at least one opinion columnist with the
Washington Post (I only get laughed at when I link Fox News or Breitbart on this forum),
Obama and Biden can't take credit for the soaring Trump economy.
"Before the tax cuts were passed, Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) predicted "Armageddon." But, one year later, as GDP growth soared, unemployment declined to a 50-year low and working-class wages increased at the fastest rate in a decade, the best the Democrats could do was claim the tax cuts were a "sugar high" and that, rather than a 2018 economic collapse, America faced a 2019 recession.
Beyond the stark difference between Obama-era GDP and today's, let's consider the boom in job creation spurred by that accelerated growth. When Obama left office, the economy had 2 million more people unemployed than job openings. In March, the most recent month for which the data are available, after 25 months of the Trump administration, there were 1.3 million more job openings than people unemployed. And that is with the unemployment rate at a 50-year low and more people working than at any time in the nation's history.
March was the 13th consecutive month the U.S. economy produced more job openings than there were people unemployed. The first time that happened since the Bureau of Labor Statistics began reporting the data in 2000 was, well, 13 months ago. It didn't happen once during the Obama administration."
The more digging I do the more it makes sense that Russia and Ukraine are the democrats one and only out for 2020 -- even if it is a long shot.
