    Same headline about Australia on news tonight. Lowest unemployment in 40 years.

    I think we are probably all just revving up to full steam at the same time post GFC.

    Yes, Reagan ended in a downturn also. We have a crash or downturn every 4 to 7 years. The last one being 2008. Were over due, China & Russia rising, lots of dollars pumped into the system the last 8 years. Nothing done to correct the mistakes of 08.

    This could be worse than 1929. Would it all be Trumps fault? NO but he will get all the blame for stepping on the gas before we hit the brick wall.

    Enjoy 1929, it won't last.

    Good luck on that narrative hicks. We were headed to collapse with over regulation, high taxes and companies and money leaving.

    This growth is just starting. Trump may be crazy but he knows business and obviously knows how to get the economy going. So yea, we will all enjoy it.

    Obama did. Think Dodd/ Frank. Also conducted tests for the banks to see if they could handle another 08.

    But guess who undid those safe guards.

    Yeah he went bankrupt 6 times. This could be his greatest of all time.

    My narrative has history behind it. Yours has Happy Thoughts & dollars signs that could be worth less than the paper its printed on.

    I told you before, you can't have unlimited growth in a finite world.

    The rich don't care about a depression, half this country still makes 30K or less a year, & has a butt load of debt. Ever hear of "debt deflation" These little bonuses & bread crumb raise are not going to make a dam bit of difference in the real economy.

    If Hillary was President and the numbers are what they are now, it wouldn't be apples to oranges, right? It would still be fake.

    Yes I know. Dodd/Frank was not even strong enough. Now dumb ass doing his rich friends a favor. Could it be all the money he borrowed from those banks? More than likely YES.

    hicks you sound like a libtard with that 6 bankruptcy comment. Trump has been involved in 5,000 businesses and is in the top 300 richest living US citizens.

    Maybe you just don't realize when guys go into a business it doesn't always work. Guys who also went bankrupt include; Lincoln, Ford, Disney, Heinz and Hershey. All bounced back as did Trump. Leave that one to the chicos.

    We are not talking "unlimited growth". We are talking about attracting global business and sustained growth at 4%. A real growth rate that raises wages and provides opportunities for advancement with growing companies. Better known as The American Dream.

    He’s a deadbeat and has stiffed the working man his entire life. The fact that you think he’s for the working man is completely ridiculous. He would go bankrupt and stiff the worker.
