GG Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 A decent summary of last year Quote Raymond Nolte of SkyBridge Capital said, “If you take away Trump’s Twitter ridiculousness, it’s actually been a pretty good year for the business community.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdnlng Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 It's laughable that the small-minded Obama gobbling people would try to give Obama credit for the Trump economy. Obama had 24 quarters of little growth. Not once did the economy grow even 3% in a quarter. Trump told people what he would do if elected. When he got elected people believed him and acted accordingly. Obama weakened our country in every way and Trump is working overtime to correct that.

sherpa Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Be careful with your terms here. Of course the economy never grew at 3% in a quarter during Obama. That would be a 12% annualized growth rate. Further, posting annualized growth rates per quarter is based on multiplying the quarterly growth rate by four, another inaccurate way to consider growth, since quarterly growth rates vary for a considerable number of reasons.

The recovery under Obama was the weakest in memory, especially considering the throughs he started from. A dead cat bounce should have produced at least a few quarters above 3% 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) The real problem here is crowing about the economy now when Trump inherited a good situation but which probably won't last. When this long bull market stumbles it won't be Trump's fault, but when he gets blamed for it you own it. Can't give him credit now and not blame him later.

Obama had one of the greatest opportunities in history to govern in a way that would have created historically strong growth. A beaten down economy such as the one he inherited was ripe for a big recovery. Instead he burdened businesses with tax and health care cost increases along with lots of regulation in many industries. He also often spoke publicly about his perceived evils of large businesses while ringing up the largest deficits in history. All of this added up to an unfriendly business climate along with low consumer confidence. Obama out and Trump in has breathed new life in both business and consumer confidence and confidence poll numbers reflect that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obama out and Trump in has breathed new life in both business and consumer confidence and confidence poll numbers reflect that. Or... Obama took on one of the worst situations in economic history. A housing market in a funk that was a drag on everything. Since too many houses were on the market already it depressed the market and slowed building which had a ripple effect all through the economy. Getting all the under water mortgages taken care of took time. Since housing is so central to the economy it took time. And the foreign markets were in a funk, too, so trade could not lift us out of the slump. Yet, in spite of that the economy did rise and kept right on getting stronger, even with all the old baby boomers falling out of the market. The Tarp program--under Bush--the stimulus program and sound, rational leadership--in spite of GOP shut down nonsense--allowed for the economy to thrive which continues to this day. Trump is only riding a wave that began under Obama. When the business cycle turns Trumps support will take yet another hit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
