    Sure you did. You all made predictions of your tax cut that never came to fruition. You're still doing it!

    We cut taxes for corporations and they still cut jobs.

    Now you're getting sloppy.

    You said the economy contracted through 2015, but the only way to prove that would be to show GDP growth negative through 2015.

    GDP stopped contracting (i.e. GDP growth rate ceased being negative) in Q3 2010.

    The only way an economy contracts is if the GDP growth is negative.

    GDP is the measurement of our economy. So if GDP grows, even by 0.4%, that is still growth.

    In 2015, GDP grew 2.88%. Trump has yet to match that.

    In Trump’s first 26 months, manufacturers added 479,000 jobs, or 3.9%, 399% more jobs than Obama’s record.

    Is it any wonder that President Obama derided then-candidate Trump for needing a “magic wand” to deliver on his manufacturing jobs promise?

    On the other hand, federal, state and local government jobs, many of them creators of job-stifling red tape,
    grew by 1.8% in Obama’s last 26 months compared to 0.8% under Trump.

    In fact, over the past 26 months, there were 168% more jobs in manufacturing created than in government, while during Obama’s last 26 months, there were 303% more government jobs created than in manufacturing.
    This was not sustainable. Government jobs don’t pay for themselves.

    And here’s where President Trump’s pro-growth policies come into play.

    The current stretch in increased manufacturing employment started in November, 2016—the month of Trump’s election. Employers, especially those faced with making long-term investments in physical plants and equipment, anticipated regulatory relief under Trump.

    They got the relief they hoped for.

    By October 2018, the Trump Administration cut 2.7 major regulations for every one added, greatly reducing regulatory cost and risk.

    In addition, the tax cuts signed into law in December 2017 not only reduced corporate tax rates, encouraging investment, they also incentivized U.S.-based multinational corporations to bring home profits held overseas.

    In the first nine months of 2018, these firms repatriated $571.3 billion—money needed for job-creating investment at home, but had been held in foreign countries because America had the highest corporate tax rate in the industrialized world.

    These numbers are correct.

    Drumpf’s misleading spin on the 2018 GDP growth rate
    With the March 28 revision, Drumpf slipped just behind Obama’s best year, with a rate of 2.85 percent compared to Obama’s 2.88 percent.

    Ouch. How embarrassing for your argument.

    2018 saw the fewest jobs created since 2017, which was the fewest since 2011.
    Lie. Argument from randU fallacy. Cherry picking fallacy. Redefinitino fallacy (manufacturing -> void).

    LOL! Here is Trump, literally on video, claiming his tax cut will raise wages by at least $4,000:

    The Liar in Chief tRump is merely trying to take credit for economic gains set in place by President Obama or plagiarizing President Obama's economic policies:


    The Trump economy is starting to look more and more like the Obama economy

    In some key ways, the Donald Trump economy, on fire last year but slowing this year, is starting to resemble the one he inherited from his predecessor .
    There are the rock-bottom bond yields, plodding economic growth and, not to be understated, the Federal Reserve seemingly pulling all the strings, a role that was only exacerbated in the days since the financial crisis and Great Recession and continues to the present day."
