Ask the blacks, hispanics, and women how they did under the Obama economy and compare that to how they are doing now.
The fact that those groups are doing really well AND my 401K is thru the roof, is a good thing.
Trump’s policies amount to economic heroin. Using massive fiscal stimulus during a time of healthy economic growth is foolish at best. Of course that fits Trump perfectly.

You may need to look at your elections then, my 401k had double digit growth since '08

When things crash, they'll blame it on the newly elected democratic congress.

Thanks to the republicans gaining control and putting a stop to the madness.
You might notice that just months after democrats to control in 2007, the market fell off into an abyss.
You might notice that the market started gaining serious momentum after the republicans took control back in 2010.

You’re 100 percent correct. The left has been forced to clean up after incompetent GOP leadership time and time again. This will be no different. They’ll take no responsibility because they are incapable of any sort of self-reflection or improvement. They’re part of an ideology built on the trifecta of ignorance, fear, and hate. Calling it ignorance is probably too generous, but I hold out some hope for my fellowship Americans who have been hoodwinked by their right-wing puppet masters.
