There is nothing on the list below that a GOP president would not be credited and praised for......IF.
That's the salient point, GOPERS and all voters will be reminded incessantly what kind of economy they handed off. You can't run away from it.
Quote:
Consider the following:
•Since the 4th quarter of the 2008, America's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) stood at $14.2 trillion. GDP is $18.2 trillion today.
•Unemployment has fallen from a recession peak of 10 percent to 5 percent today.
•The stock market has tripled since its 2009 low.
•Oil and gas prices are one-half to one-third of their peak prices in 2008.
•Median and average home prices are now above their 2007 peak at $321,100 and $379,800, respectively.
•Household net worth hit $86.8 trillion in the fourth quarter of 2015, well above the 2007 peak of $66.5 trillion.
There is no doubt that the gains from the economic recovery have been spread unevenly and that income inequality has increased greatly in recent years.
So too, wage growth has lagged while those hardest hit in the recession have struggled to find gainful employment at wages equal to their pre-recession levels.
But those sad facts have now been true for nearly three decades, in one way or another.
