An astonishing 67 percent of acknowledge Democrat voters in a recent Rasmussen poll “still think (Barack) Obama is to thank” for the surging economy, while 82 percent of those who said they are Republicans give credit to President Donald Trump.
According to Fact Check.org, those Democrats may have a point. It depends upon whether one believes Fact Check figures. The website says that under Obama, “the economy gained a net 11.6 million jobs” and “unemployment…dropped to below the historical norm.” |

If Obama's policies would have had ANY effect on the economy, we'd have seen the current boom happening 8 years ago, but we did not. It improved only tepidly, not BECAUSE of Obama, but IN SPITE of Obama. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
