Well professor, I've studied economics, and finance. Ever hear of the Wharton School? That's where I got my Masters, and that's where the Donald went for his under grad degree. We are worse off than we were in 2008 overall. Unemployment is much higher than stated. Look at the labor participation rates. Do you think negative GDP growth is good? Well that is what we have. Interest rates are at HISTORIC LOWS which shows a very, very weak economy, yet you believe Obama and his agency minions lies. You are very easily fooled.
Sorry, the vast majority of Economists disagree with you. Hey, I admit this isn't my bag. In order to try and cure cancer I had to skip the finance degree. But you guys are so heavily ideologically motivated that anything Obama does has to be horrible, and anything any Republican does has to be wonderful. I don't recall anyone sounding the alarm in the old Spin zone around 2008. According to the conservatives then W could do no wrong.
Most economic indictors are up, and the unemployment rate is as low as I've ever seen it. The real difference is 20 years ago the jobs were stable, paid a lot and included a fairly generous retirement. Now those jobs are gone, and in their place are jobs that don't pay as well and aren't as stable. But the jobs are there. Get some specialized training in engineering or medicine and the jobs are everywhere. My charges are not finding difficulty finding work, I can tell you.
