Even if you just look at full-year numbers, the 2.06 million jobs added in 2017 falls short of the 2.24 million jobs created in 2016, Obama's last full year in office.

The economy's performance indicators are out there for anyone to see. Thanks Barack. However, structural weaknesses can blindside the economy, like what happened with mortgage-backed securities. Would you say you understand and agree with Donald's deregulating?

Would you say the economy hasn't been improving since Obama took office after the Bush administration tanked it?

No

General memory is that economy bottomed out about a year after Barack took office

Barack just continued policies of bush admin BTW

I do credit both bush and obama admins (which included many of same people in treasury and fed) for averting Great Depression part II

Also

There is definitely credit risk

See e.g. student loan defaults

Not a problem in booming economy like now but once it turns it will probably get nasty

Time to party now though

Don't party too large. No, now is the time to prepare for the financial annihilation to come. Keep your powder dry. (In ideal financial terms that means get out before the herd rushes the doors, or maybe just don't be in hock.) Folks don't get that many opportunities to be a buyer in a ferociously lucrative buyer's market. We have to be prepared.

It's cold.

How cold is it?

It's so cold that Democrats have their hands in their own pockets.
