why did the former president not fix it he had 8 years! if it is so bad
trump fixing it in less then 9 months!
The Repugs austerity, blocking Keynesian spending, and firing of 100Ks of govt workers have greatly re ed the recovery from the Banksters Great Depression.
The economy would be much further ahead if it weren't for the Repugs.
In any case, the economy is rigged so that 90%+, to increase soon, of all new wealth goes to the top 5%, while the lower 80% labor, aka "working people", with stagnant incomes and the ever growing low-paid gig economy.
the lower 4 quintiles are pretty much ed and un able.

What's he fixing? What specific area of the economy was a problem under Obama but has been improved by Trump? Which specific policies led to that improvement? We look forward to your detailed thoughts on this.
(pisssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss)
The most important thing Republicans have done to help the economy since Trump was elected is nothing.
and you still pee on 13 year old girls.
Could ducks or anyone else who speaks Trump please explain how this would work? I don't have a President-level understanding of the ACA or taxes.
it works because hillary sucks
Seriously. I do agree, eliminate the Fascist order of "get insurance or be fined" since autonomy of body is justifiable for baby murder, but this makes no sense.
oh, and it looks like ducks is not working or ing anymore.
math about and results from killing the individual mandate are in the "repug tax cut" thread.
Ducks don't know about
ducks knew who won be president

Seems to be my sense. I am having the same sort of vague unease that I got before the housing crisis when I read the news. The contraction of available shares for trading from stock buy backs is something I have been reading about, and wondering what/how much effect it will have.
Animal spirits are roaming...
stock buybacks were illegal until St Ronnie's group of Repugs made them legal, they are a tool for Capitalists to enrich themselves, rather than using the buyback money for investment.

Trump picks Jerome Powell to succeed Yellen as Fed chair
You pee in children too...so yeah
It is either the fascist "get insurance or be fined"
or the socialist "I just showed up to the ER without insurance, please don't let me bleed to death".
Which do you prefer?
.
Closer to #2. Btw, nobody bleeds to death in an ER because they cant pay. EMTALA pretty much spells this out.
no, but they may get "stabilized" and shuttled off to somewhere else, like a public hospital, taking $10Ks of debt with them.
EMTALA is an unfunded mandate, since 1986.
EMTALA expenses represent about 8% of hospital costs. BFD.
Back to the original post about this amazing economy. What bull . I dont care what the stock market is doing. Its all driven by tech/advertising. Jobs report sucked again. Participation rate down by another million. This economy is ed up.
And if jobs are increasing and the market is soaring... why are wages still stagnant?
the economy is rigged, skewed to enrich the oligarchy and suppress the incomes of the non-oligarchy
real household income has been effectively stagnant since the oligarchy installed St Ronnie as Pres
90% of the new income growth goes to the top, while the lower 4 quintiles get crumbs.
"new jobs" are mostly "gig economy" jobs, people forced to take gig work, low pay, no benefits, like driving rideshare.
rideshare is where the self-employed, independent contractor supplies all the labor, capital (the vehicle), risk, operational expenses while the TNC platform takes 30% of the fares (and still loses $Bs / year, eg, Uber)
Gig economy is 34% of US workforce
"The gig economy...is now estimated to be about 34% of the workforce and expected to be 43% by the year 2020,"

U.S. Employers Struggle To Match Workers With Open Jobs

But don't worry, it's getting better, right? no.
Look at the oligarchy's budget proposed by the Repugs. It screws the lower 4 quintiles, and Ryan is only getting started.
The oligarchy's love child Ryan is obsessed, his life's Holy Grail, with destroying Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security
After the Capitalists stole 4M+ homes in the Banksters Great Depression, people were forced into renting, causes rents to rise, for Ms of people to be 40%+ of income, and forcing millions into unfixed habitation:

America for the lower 80% is OVER, it will only get worse, and there is no (non-violent) solution for them.
Violent revolutionwould be crushed Ferguson-style, Kent-State-style, DAPL-style by the oligarchy's militarized/surveillance police state, which includes the "patriots serving their country for freedom!" in the military.
White working class people's longevity has been declining, totally shocking demographers, over the past decade or so, through drugs (Sackler family, thanks), alcohol, guns, a unique situation versus all other industrial countries.
