Job Gains For 2018 Almost As Good As During Obama Years, But NOT AS GOOD. Weaker Than

[PoliTalker]

Hello cawacko,

Presidents don’t control the economy. It has been argued many time the Fed has more control over the economy only than the President. So it’s disigenuous to argue Obama, Trump, Bush, Clinton have total control when they don’t. Presidents ultimately get way more credit/blame than they deserve. I bring up the Fed because most others don’t and you can’t have a true economic discussions without their actions

Good point. And each side tends to champion their own president when the economy does well, yet blame the other side when it doesn't. Trump is certainly the most shamelessly flagrant at this.
