Well if Chuckie Schumer was expecting to hear
President Trump give a big shout out to Barry ‘O’ regarding the current state
of our economy during last night’s State of the Union (SOTU) address, I’m sure
he was more than a little disappointed. You
see, it was earlier in the day, while speaking to reporters, that Chuckie made
the rather bizarre statement that President Trump somehow “owes a lot” of the
economic recovery to Barry ‘O’ and predicted we wouldn’t hear “Thanks, Obama!” No, I don’t have any idea what it was that
old Chuckie may have been smoking at the time, but I can think of no other
reason why he might have said such a thing.
And here’s what Chuckie said from the Senate floor
ahead of the SOTU address: “The
president will be eager to defend the accomplishments of his nascent
administration and take credit for a healthy American economy, pointing to low
employment, job growth, and a soaring stock market. But the truth is these
trends were present before Donald Trump took office. President Trump was handed
an already healthy economy by his predecessor. Like many things in his life, he
inherited the healthy economy. Here are two words we won’t hear President Trump
say tonight about the economy: Thanks, Obama.”
And he was even able to say it with a straight face.
But Chuckie continued, addressing the president
directly: “President Trump, President Obama created more jobs in the last year
of his term than you created in the first year of yours. So if you’re going to
pat yourself on the back, give a shout out to Barack Obama.” Chuckie’s comments once again demonstrate the
ability of the Democrats to rewrite history.
Because it was during the Barry ‘O’ years that: We had the lowest labor participation since
the 1970s, the worst economic recovery since the 1940s, the lowest home
ownership rate in 50 years, nearly 13 million more Americans on food stamps and
over 43 million Americans living in poverty.
It’s funny how after eight years of Barry's stagnant
economy it’s only after he's gone that things suddenly start to pick up! And Chuckie claims that Barry’s policies are
the reason? Not! What ‘has’ spurred this economy is that people
no longer have to worry about what new draconian regulations might be dreamt
up. Barry told us that we'd be lucky if
the economy would ever get beyond his anemic growth rate. He knew what he was doing was equivalent of putting
a wet blanket over a fire. And despite
his best efforts he was unable to extinguish the economy. It was left smoldering and now that Barry’s
blanket has been removed our economy is once again on fire.
And you know, if Chuckie is right why was it that we
NEVER heard from either Barry or his team of less than stellar economic
advisors that the economy was on the verge of turning around, and on what was
sure to be a massive scale? Instead,
what we heard from this band of socialist misfits was that we are going to have
to get used to a 1.8% annual growth. It
was the new normal, the way of the future. Then President Trump arrived on the scene.
There isn't anything Barry ever did that would have caused an economic rebound
on the scale we are seeing. President
Trump got rid of many of Barry’s economy killing regulations and then of course
there are those tax cuts!
Barry deserves zero credit for the current state of our
rebounding economy. The consumer confidence went way up practically as soon as
Trump was declared the winner, as did overall productivity and contribution to
GDP growth. Gee, I can’t imagine
why. Can you? Perhaps Barry's far left leanings had
businesses constantly thinking they were about to get screwed. We can't function economically when we have a
radical leftist doing his best to come up with new and improved ways to stifle
economic growth. Once the government
removes itself from dictating economic policy, to essentially get out of the
way, the economy goes nowhere but up.
Chuckie does have one point. It was nice of Barry,
in his effort to ‘fundamentally transform’ the country, to deliberately
suppress the economy for eight years and doubling down on Keynesian stupidity
to do it. He too could have done the
things that Trump has done, and experienced the same kind of economic growth,
but chose not to. The morons who worship
Barry and his party need to ask themselves, why. Barry set Trump up to prove
what we deplorables have been telling "the enlightened ones" for
years, that easing the regulatory and tax load on an economy, frees the economy
to grow. What is it, exactly, that
Chuckie can point to that Barry did?
President Trump has already created MORE jobs,
growth, and value to our economy than Barry did in his eight years combined,
despite what those on the state-controlled media would have you believe. And yet it’s Chuckie who somehow thinks that
President Trump needs to be thanking Barry?
But then, I suppose if Barry hadn’t trashed the economy to the point
that he did there would have been little for President Trump to take credit for.
But Barry did trash the economy. So okay, “Thanks Obama!” For doing such a crappy job that all the guy
I voted for had to do, was to essentially stop doing everything that you were
doing.
One doesn't compliment an incompetent for doing a
poor job. We got an average 1.8 percent GDP growth for his eight years. That's
the worst recovery in over 100 years. Progressive economists stated this was
the new normal and to expect no more than 2 to 2.2 percent growth in the
future. So, there are three questions to
ask those economists -- were they lying then, are they lying now, or do they
always lie? No thanks, Barry, you threw
away about $8.5 Trillion of the $9 Trillion debt you drove up in eight years. That's
the Democrat way. Put people in
positions that they're unqualified for in a rather twisted attempt to equalize
things.
Now with all that said, I suppose if there is one
thing for which President Trump can thank Barry it would be the fact that Barry
did such an absolutely horrific job has president. Because if he had not, it’s in all likelihood
that Trump would have never been elected.
But after eight years of demonstrating that socialist policies can have
only one possible outcome, enough Americans were not willing to vote for
someone, Hiterly, who would most assuredly have continued on with those same policies. And they saw Donald Trump, a man who had
built a multi-billion dollar business, who was a genuine outsider, and decided
to take a chance. And now it’s paying
off bigly!
