    You're right you did. And it was rather tepid, basically giving him 1/4 of the credit.

    Very tepid actually. And as you say, tepid is basically nothing. So was only following your logic.

    But please, do continue trying to give credit where it is not due. Perhaps champion his peace prize for doing nothing too?
    Oil stabilizing & the Fed were also factors, but it's just partisan to deny that the stimulus didn't give the boost that was needed to investor confidence for a longer-term recovery.

    Is that you're way of admitting that you lied?

    I'll take it. Thanks.

    I have always said that you criticize Trump - but it's pretty token. You'll defend him every day on here, and every week or 2 throw out some criticism of his tweeting or tone or something.

    It is just partisan to suggest, as you did, that 'The markets turned SPECIFICALLY when the stimulus passed." That is complete partisan nonsense. It did no such thing. No you try to move the goal post once your idiocy has been revealed.

    Do people on message boards really still say things like "once your idiocy has been revealed?" Let's strive for better.

    I don't believe I have taken much of a partisan position on this thread. The economy clearly improved under Obama during his 2 terms, and he left with it pretty close to full employment. I don't think it's that partisan to give him some credit, as well as the stimulus, which clearly made a difference in the sustainability of a bull market. I also give Trump credit for deregulation and other measures since he has taken office.

    Then ditto. You really need to get a better mirror.

    Btw, your latter statement is patently false.

    Do you live in a cave or an old people compound? You haven't a clue about modern issues.

    I said later that I should have said "in general." My only point was that it's logical that we'd see less food stamp need as more people were working.

    But, I understand that you're looking for a "gotcha" now. You can have that one; my statement was wrong.
