(19,066 posts)2018 has not been a good year for indicators. The stock market will likely finish down for the first time in a decade. Job growth is is down. UE rate is largely flat.
We had decent growth, but those good numbers are the exception. This economy is slowing down. Economic Downturn could start to show up in the headlines soon.
Im not one to blame or credit the President 100% for the economy. This is a huge economy with massive factors. But we could be in for a rough ride. What Presidents do have power over is how to manage a recession, and Trump has thrown away many of his tools he would need to lessen a recession.

Sorry to be so cynical.

(6,931 posts)It was all smoke and mirrors BS anyway and most knew it but it made IRA's and 401K's go up. The DOW hasn't gained a fucking penny since Jan when it hit 26,616. It touched that number a few weeks back and then started dropping.
If was doing anything then Spanky would be talking it up at his endless NAZI rally's but he never mentions the Markets. Down 500+ points right now.
