...following the Great Recession of 2008-2009, it (the economy) never got that post-recession bump because Obama pursued policies that GREW the government whle burdening businesses with new laws and regulations that discouraged growth and hiring." NOTE: Obama was a lawyer and a community organizer, he knows very little about how the economy work.

Conversely, Trump has relied on generally pro-growth policies - particularly tax reductions and regulatory reform. By the end of 2019, the Fed Register of regulation have been chopped by 25%... Trump's pro-growth policies produced the strongest labor market in modern times. Unemployment consistently hit 50-yrs lows, employment hit historic highs, job openings exceeded the number of people unemployed for first time since gov't began reporting data. With employers competing for workers, wage growth hit 3% for 20 consecutive months. This is all before the COVID-19... If the economy is going to recover quickly, the key element will be a return to the business-friendly economic policies of the past three years, enhanced by recent trade triumphs such as the "phase one" trade deal with China and the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement. We need policies that incentivize investors to invest, businesses to hire and workers to work. Otherwise, we will end up with yeatrs of economic stagnation (what the libs/dems want) - what Obama once called the "new normal" - rather than the growth in jobs, wages and prosperity that became the norm under Trump. /i]Libs/dems and the Left want stagnation because they can control the masses, make them dependent on gov't.
