I'm just going to park this here so those who say the strong economy is the result of a #DonaldTrump presidency can know some facts instead of merely outlandish claims.

As the graphs (and you'll have to click through to see those) show, the economy clearly began it's upward swing during the Obama years.

In #TrumpNation everything is a lie because facts don't matter.

Jason...another thing to look at is the state of US trading partners at the same time you look at our stats. Much of our economy is driven by sales to other countries. If other countries economies are not strong..they can't increase buys of US goods. If other countries don't buy US goods than US factories can't increase output. This is a world economy. What is Trump's greatest skill? Making Americans lose faith in their country and what it stand's for.

Most of our manufacturing is done overseas in China, Taiwan, South America and Mexico. While technically we "export" from the USA, we typically build in other countries.

Jason ON you are right....what we sell outside our country...doesn't matter in which country they are build. As long as they are "America items" and sold under the American name. By the way nice showing of the facts. I do the same thing . I now am in the process of putting together a data base on everything about the economy and crime from 2002 to 2018 by quarterly. Tired of having to look up data time after time after time. LOL

Look at the economy since 2008 to present...it HAS been a steady improvements. Also, changes in the national economy is slow....no matter who is President. It usually takes a full year on average for an incoming president's policies to change the national economy from the outgoing president's policies

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
