Obama took office as the Great Recession was hitting the country. A year into his Presidency, it began its long trickle down, from which Trump inherited
This isn’t an accurate statement. First, he isn’t called a racist because any relation to black unemployment. The reference is erroneous. Secondly, you’re implying if he was a racist, he’d immediately try to tank black employment.
They’re both illogical and incorrect statements.
He’s never been called a racist in any relation to black unemployment.
Further, even a racist who wants to get re-elected isn’t going to try and cut the employment of 12-15% of the population out of spite. He’s called a racist for a myriad of other reasons, whether valid or not, have nothing to do with black unemployment. Neither he nor Obama deserve any credit for black unemployment outside of the overall methodology of their approaches to the economy.
Obama wanted and enacted a steady and slower growth, attempting to be sustainable, which was regulated and resulted in the longest period of private sector job growth in American history.
Trump wanted to boost as quickly as he could, so he could enjoy the results, which manifested in cutting as much regulation as possible. As we’ve seen in history, this does stimulate the GDP in theory, but short term goals and deregulation tend to results on long term explosions in our economy or health as a country.
To pretend either one really did it is naive I think as well, but to pretend Trump’s economy far exceeded Obama’s is incorrect, as it is the other way around. Both, have time periods by which they couldn’t fight the tides outside of their control: for Obama, it was when he took office we were descending into the worst recession we’ve had since the 30s, and for Trump, it was an unprecedented national shutdown due to Covid.
Both have numbers that are fucked because of that, so let’s take that out
From the chart, they both are pretty much the same. Nothing stands out from either as exceeding the other in terms of how our economy was moving.
Same with unemployment when you take out the crazy variation caused by the recession and Covid
From manufacturing to home prices…pretty much just a steady track that started back then and continued through.
I just answered your question, dude. You kept citing it over and over again. You even used the words: “Crickets?”. So, I answered. I wasn’t changing the topic, I was answering a question you kept asking.
