Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumDems need to aggressively counter trump's "greatest economy ever" propaganda:
this IS a key issue for voters
they are being fed a pile of bullshit by trump and his machine
hell --- even the MSNBC anchor yesterday was saying, flat out, without question "what a great economy"
1. EVEN IF IT WAS TRUE --- politics ain't bean bag. This is a weapon we need to take away from him. If we tie our hands behind our backs by following the rules when he doesn't, then we lose. And we are morally justified in saying what we need to say to win, as he is stealing credit for the work and skill of the Obama administration. Remember 2008. Remember when Obama came in where we were.
2. It may be true for the wealthy and corporations. But by and large, working people and those who don't own stocks are not feeling this "miracle economy."
If you can't afford your medications, the economy isn't great.
If you see homelessness, the economy isn't great.
If replacing an appliance or getting your car fixed kills your budget, the economy isn't great.
If you don't have any savings, the economy isn't great.
Please Dems please. This is low-hanging fruit we can get, and it will infuriate trump.

Normally, when the economy is roaring, the deficit should shrink as tax revenues grow. Instead, under Trump, this is all a mirage fueled by billions in corporate welfare in the form of tax cuts, plus demands that the Fed cut interest rates.
