I'm not talking direct policy, I'm talking the general vibe of the direction. Safe to say Obama wasn't pro jobs, if he were the economy would've boomed slightly faster due to pure vibe and influence. Just the fact that Trump promotes growth in American industry signaled to invest, and as such you saw a period of growth. Now the market is volatile, and sorta starting a slope downwards due to Trump's want for increase tariffs. Im actually in favor of this, because the countries who produce goods the best tend to end up on top 99% of the time, and if you like at BASIC output models, America is on top in terms of output in accordance to population, it is RIDICULOUS. So most likely we will end up on top, and the economy will continue to improve. Minus possibly China, and even then their output in respect to population is sorta pathetic, there is nothing these countries can do to match the output of American products.

There is only one president who I can say directly influenced the economy, and that was FDR. Trust me, there is a reason the New Deal was not the Savior of the market, mostly because it was terrible and resulted in excess spending when people had no money left.

Some reading for you. There is my one, now it’s your turn. Which Obama’s policy was pro-economy? Name one.

So apparently President Trump signed a CD of Elton's John's that features the song Rocket Man and sent it along with Pompeo to give to Kim Jon Un as a gift.

Awesome. That's all I can say to that.

That is a nice opinion article.  I personally would like to know where they get their figures from.  After reading the article I found another article where Trump cited these numbers.  Now maybe its just me but I always find it hard to believe anything that comes from Trump administration if not fact checked.  The last time someone from Trump sprouted numbers they were completely false.  

One of my problems with this article is that it does not tell you what actual regulations Trump and its administration actually either delayed or got rid of.  Here is a site that clears that up so we do not get hampared by overblown numbers but instead actual efforts.

Now I have ready every one of these regulations Trump administration decided to put a hold on and I cannot say for myself I see this as a win.  A lot of them are environmental and we already have reports like this one where such changes seem more harm then good.

I am guess, because companies are making huge amounts of money and they probably continue to do so, giving them avenues to continue to make money at the expense of we the people may be seen as a win, but not in my book.  Anyway thats neither here or there and probably something to debate for another topic.

Here is an article I found, I believe some of their graphics were used in this same thread that is a counter to your post.

Here is another one that gives another picture.

Back at you.

Why would it be safe to say Obama was not pro jobs.  Now I know this is an opinion but exactly how is the trend we see with Trump any different in that area.  Trump in his first year did not beat Obama in his last 4 years in office for the number of Jobs gained.  Not only that but even with the Tax cut to the wealthy, pay is still stagnant and no better than it was during his administration as well. 

What is the sector that Trump is promoting growth.  Just saying Trump is promoting growth but with no real evidence is two different things.  Also it would be good to see actual policy within those sectors and show stats how improvement over the previous administration.  Saying something and doing it is totally different.

As for the tariffs, I really do not mind him going in that direction but as always, I do not believe he or his administration knows what they are doing.  Its one thing to just go after China,  If you bring them to the table with a better deal, you get the win and go after others.  To go after everyone, Canada, Mexico, and Europe seems stupid. Being on top is only good if you are the sole producer of those items.  Now you have all of them not willing to bend to the US and thus we will get tic for tac and no one will be willing to concede to Trump.  This is why him keeping his mouth shut and just doing his job is for the best.  Making each move a public event only harden everyone else and so this whole thing can drag on for years.  We are already seeing the results of this as other nations start to do business excluding the US.  We may be strong today but if the world decides to push us to the side, we will see a lot of our items sitting on the self and businesses closing up.  If you believe the US economy can take retaliatory tariffs from all everyone you will see how fast our economy free falls real soon.

My key point is that the US economy is very complex and there is nothing within Trump background that shows me he understand macroeconomics.  The people he has put within his administration do not have a good track record in this area and it appears they cannot even be trust to tell the truth when asked basic questions.  I would feel more confident if Trump was someone I believe did the research, check his numbers understood the concepts and knew how to execute a plan that doesn't appear sloppy, ill informed or lacking any form of cohesive understandings of the topics.  Either way we will see how this shape up but I would easily bet that Trump and his administration F it all up to where we will be left in a worst state then going in.

Promoting Growth and Making Growth are 2 different things.

Trump promotes the idea of American growth, but for the most part he keeps his hands off it minus tax decreases, which encourages businesses to move back. Will it MAKE them do it? No, but considering most Americans don't want to be paid the wages that are made in China, it's about all we can do. Obama kept his hands off, but he never really promoted companies to come back, instead touting a future for America that's likely more than 50 years away. That's why it took so long to get out of the recession, because he touted a world that wasn't yet feasible, and as such unreachable.

FDR made growth, and if it wasn't for WWII, we'd be fucked. FDR made temporary policies he thought would last forever, which is a big mistake. His biggest mistake? Social Security. It made sense when no one knew how to save money, but now it's over half what we pay towards the budget, so we really cant do anything.

What are we supposed to get out of this?

That Beloved Leader is just a badly written filler character in Red vs Blue.

No, he's the president.

You are wayyyy off on social security. Most people still don't know how to save money. Sure the average white collar worker making as much or more than the average 4 person family shouldn't have a problem saving for retirement, but that isn't most people. Without social security there would be a lot more older people on the streets. I don't know where you got the idea that social security was a temporary policy, it was made for the long haul, to help people have money when they retire because quite frankly people are bad at saving money because spending money is easier than saving money. Social security costs a lot sure, but its entirely paid for by social security taxes, it doesn't take anything else away from the budget. Social Security is simply the recognition that tens of millions of poor and working class people, hell even middle class people, will be broke and homeless people when they are old without some government mandated safety net. Social Security has been and continues to be a roaring success for America. The only current problem is the baby boom generation is retiring which will create an imbalance between the input and output of the program, though that is certainly a fixable thing by changing some variables if politicians ever get up the nerve to do it.

Also your assessment of Obama seems way off base as well. Obama enacted measured policies to promote consistent growth, not a boom leading to another bust. And look at that we've had the longest period of continuous growth in US history. Of course now with Trump we've got huge tax giveaways to the rich combined with budget busting increases in spending combined with deregulation to take unbuckle the safety belt of the American economy, so a crash is now coming with the irresponsible and undisciplined Trump strategy of shoveling on debt during a time when we need it the least and over-heating the economy while starting trade wars to hurt America, while also personally attacking American companies (he's an idiot). Now thanks to Trump we're going to START the next recession at trillion-plus dollar deficits instead of reaching that point at the height of the recession. Trump is the answer to the question: how to make America burn?
