ISIS is in retreat, it's bases in Syria and Iraq are shrinking daily; unemployment is down to 4.9 with a record breaking 15.2 million jobs created in the last eight years; the Market is reaching new heights while wages are beginning to rise; poverty is lessening while productivity increases; etc., etc, etc

Lets see if the next GOP Administration to screw up the positives they've been handed as fast and dramatically as the last GOP Administration did with what the Democrats handed them. Given the President leading them, can't imagine it will be long
 
We won't be going into a new president with a recession like last time. How long do you think Fed can leave rates at zero?
 
They won't, given the recent Market, their next meeting will include an increased interest rate. They would have done it in October, but unlike the FBI, they followed the traditional practice of not doing anything that had the slightest chance of interfering in the elections
 
At the start of 1996, sixty-four out of every hundred American civilians aged sixteen to sixty-four were working or looking for work. Economists refer to this figure as the labor-force participation rate, and the precise figure in 1996 was 66.4 per cent. Five years later, at the start of 2001, the rate had risen by almost a percentage point, to 67.2 per cent.

America’s Workforce: The Mystery of the “Missing Millions” Deepens

Fast-forward to the current recovery, and things look pretty different. At the start of 2010, when the Great Recession had led to a sharp rise in unemployment, the participation rate was 64.8 per cent, already down quite a bit from the 2001 figure. Despite the subsequent economic recovery, which has now lasted for more than five years, the rate has continued to fall. Last month, it stood at just 62.7 per cent, a tie for the lowest level since 1978 (a time when more women stayed at home and did domestic labor rather than join the official workforce).

Do figures lie or do liars figure....its the mystery of 'missing workers'.....

The BIG LIE----The official unemployment rate, as reported by the U.S. Department of Labor, is extremely misleading........If you perform a minimum of one hour of work in a week and are paid at least $20 -- maybe someone pays you to mow their lawn -- you're not officially counted as unemployed in the much-reported 5.6%.

The 35.4 + % ........ 109,631,000 + on Welfare
 
Labor Participation Rates, which ironically become a major consideration on 1/09, don't account for the peaking of the Baby Boomer generation and retirement. Given the size of the population bubble and it's age, it would make sense that the Rate would decrease

They should have raised rates earlier. Whether it was politics why they didn't onky they know. As far as the OP if everything was as rosy as you painted it Hillary would not have lost and the Fed would have raised rates faaar sooner
