What Trump Knows That Obama Didn’t

We now know why President Obama had to struggle so hard to spur the economy and allow it to grow more than 2 percent a year. And that was the high-water mark. In the last quarter of his presidency, growth had slipped to 1.5 percent. Today it’s obvious what Obama’s problem was. He had the wrong policies‚ lots of them.

How do we know this? Obama’s successor, Donald Trump, and the Republican Congress reversed Obama’s policies. The result, from the day Trump was elected, has been a more robust economy. Nearly 4 million jobs have been added, and unemployment has dipped to the lowest point in nearly a half-century. Let’s compare what Obama did with what Trump is doing.

Obama raised taxes. Trump cut them. Obama was a regulatory zealot. Trump is passionate about deregulation. Obama’s Clean Power Plan killed the coal industry. Trump is reviving it. Obama downgraded the role of entrepreneurs and free markets in boosting the economy and lauded the wonderful things government does.

Obama’s biggest breakthrough was the Affordable Care Act, a big step toward a single-payer, government-run health care system. Trump got rid of the individual mandate that forced everyone to buy expensive insurance or be fined—a big step toward a return to free markets in health care.

NO!  Let's investigate what Obama's motives were and the logic used in framing his policies.

This is impossible.  Everybody knows Obastard was the most brilliant man to hold the office of President of the United States.  Just ask him.

I always snicker when liberals opine that Obama was some sort of economics genius. He was about as dumb as a Marxist could get about economics.  He knew zero about how to create wealth.
The people who thought Obama was an economics marvel are the same people who think money grows on trees or comes from a secret stash under the White House. Obama's stash as the cell phone lady said in the tv interview.

All Obastard ever knew about wealth is redistributing it.  Nothing there about creating it.

When you consider their goal is to destroy our economy and take the US down a couple of notches, Obastard was the best thing since sliced bread.  To them.

Many people like Obama know where their bread is buttered.  I frequently called him a Marxist, but parasite is probably a better term.  Like his friends the Clintons, he wished to get filthy rich off free market economics. He's now reaping the benefits of promoting class warfare.
Class warriors, like Obama, wish to redistribute the wealth but still keep a large percentage for themselves. Like the Castros and Chavezes who were billionaires and lived in luxury while their people went without.

Recently, REALLY thought about how Hillary Clinton must have felt that Tuesday night in November '16.

When we see how militarized and infiltrated all the intelligence  alphabets were set up under Clinton/Obama/Clinton...[yes those 800 FBI files were in Bill's 2nd term...and were purposely leaked to put everybody on notice that their lives and darkest secrets were no longer secret]...we realize just how close she came to literally ruling the effing planet.

No wonder she fell and hit her head a couple...few...dozen ...times.

I heard Beto speak over the radio ..... and w/o seeing him, I swore it was Obama.  Same cadence, same bullshit.

Marxists like Karl on down are parasites.  Rob from the rich, give to the poor, minus what they keep for themselves, until everybody but themselves are equally miserable.
