The real barometer of what's happening will be GDP.
The nation's GDP was averaging 2.9% post WW2
When the housing market collapsed in 2008...it dropped to NEGATIVE 2.8%
The housing market just about destroyed the country.
Under Obama...he NEVER went above 2.6%
And his last year was an abysmal 1.9% ... pretty much an exclamation point on an administration that was seen as anti-business by business leaders.
Reagan averaged 3.5% GDP growth. Clinton (with the internet bubble creating an entire new economy) was almost 4%!
Obama is dead last among all post-war Presidents:
Trump is shooting for 3%.
And I believe his ideas WILL get us that and more.
The question will be: Will the Establishment in Washington D.C. move on these things in Congress? Or will they keep wasting time with "investigations" into nothing?
