Trumps Wants to Make America Great Again – Obama Already Did That

Which Everyone Would Know if There Was an Honest Press

The media has a mania for presenting both sides of an issue even when one side is correct and the other is false. This is called a 'false equivalency' and the media does this to avoid criticism of bias by the conservatives. The result is that the American public is denied a fair and impartial press, in part because facts have a built in anti-conservative bias.

When Barack Obama took office the economy was in serious trouble. The unemployment rate quickly went over 10% and jobs were being lost. The deficit was huge and consumer and investor confidence was low. The auto industry was on the verge of collapse.

Eight years later it seems Mr. Obama presided over a massive comeback for America resulting, finally in substantial income growth for middle income families.

WASHINGTON — American household incomes rose strongly for the second straight year in 2016, as the long-running economic recovery generated broad gains in prosperity.

The median household income was $59,039 in 2016, an increase of 3.2 percent over the year before after adjusting for inflation, the Census Bureau said on Tuesday. The share of Americans living in poverty declined, and the share with full-year health insurance increased, the bureau also reported.

Wow, betcha didn't know that. That is because the Trumpies want to paint the false picture that America is in shambles and only Donnie can fix it. The truth, only Donnie and the GOP can mess it up.

Yes there are still major problems and income inequality is causing millions to suffer needlessly. But when history reaches the point of objectivity it will record the Obama era as an incredible success.

Gotcha conservatives.
