maybe because its like bragging about the sun coming up, it was gonna happen anyway being that it was ALREADY Dropping and all ... and therefore not REALLY Much to do with the current administration. the creation of new jobs, companies investing in new machinery an equipment. mfg. Companies coming BACK to the U.S. Companies hiring more people due to tax breaks. Companies giving across the board bonuses and that was gonna happen anyway?.... how was that going to happen anyway? what is "and all"? the rate was gonna DROP anyway since 2014 it has been dropping ALREADY jan-dec 2014 12.1-10.6 percent ( 1.5 percent drop) jan-dec 2015 10.4-8.5 ( 1.9 percent drop) jan-dec 2016 8.9-7.9 (1.0 percent drop) jan-dec 2017 7.8-6.8 (1 pecent drop) the rate HAS BEEN Droping at least one percent a year BEFORE TRUNP Since Trump, that rate has not CHANGED or improved. https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS14000006 maybe he can get credit for not making it worse? But for making it better, no. first of all people, this is why you shouldn't smoke crack! The main reason is because Trump removed the regulations and restraints obama put in place to slow our economy down , therefore making more people dependent on government help. That way little by little they would gain control of these individuals. This is all in the book by that piece of you know what George Sorros . But they lost and it's a new era, get use to the idea that the liberal sludge we have been mucking thru is on it's way out. Thank you President Trump. Yeah. And I'm reading through Slick Willy's book. (My Life Bill Clinton). I was at the Salvation Army tonight and a young girl ask her mother could I have the Bill Clinton book? Her mother NO! Looking at a picture HALLOWEEN 1996, "Strong American Communities." Bill is speaking about America's bridge to the 21st century at Arizona State University. Time to balance this act!

I always agree to disagree. I don't particularly love it when emotional appeal type words like 'job growth' are thrown around without data or clarification ... and people believe rhetoric about 'liberals' on welfare as if conservatives are not on welfare ... I don't think anyone ever said all welfare recipients are liberals...but even you could admit it more than likely is a reason people that are on welfare would vote Democratic, since the libs lie and say the republicans will take it away from them... I dont really know about that either. People often act on what they are 'expecting' to happen, and people are easily duped. plenty of states receiving the MOST Welfare are still voting republican. I don't think California is voting that way... And neither is New York... The two states with biggest populations.. True Hilary took 61 percent of Cali and 59 percent of new york who receive 26 and 32 percent, respectively, of their revenue from fed funds the top six recipients of fed fund to revenue ratio are (2014) MS 40.9 (57.9 for Trump) LA 40.1 (58 for Trump) TN 39.9 (60.7 for Trump) MT 39.1 (55.6 for Trump) KY 38.5 (62.5 for Trump) MO 38 (56.4 for Trump) which puts a damper on any clear connection regarding who 'welfare recipients' vote for or dont. https://www.nytimes.com/elections/results/president https://taxfoundation.org/states-rely-most-federal-aid/ all those states are low populations, using less money's... Cali, New York, Illinois and Texas all have bigger populations so more money is funded.... you're using liberal wording to obscure the facts... no. Im not. Because my figures arent nominal values (actual dollar amounts) but percentage of revenue, regardless of size, in other words, how they split their pie. You can have a pie that serves 100 or a pie that serves 10. If one person eats 50 servings of the first pie, they are less greedy than the one who eats 3 pieces of the second pie. Even though the raw number of servings and size of pie are bigger. actually dollar amounts is all that matters... The rest is liberal trickery.. trickery also known as math .... funny thing about math is that they can always manipulate the data to get any answer they want... except nothing here was 'manipulated' a statement was made and data refuted it.

I really don't know how you do it Ms. It is why I rarely visit this wall of blinded steadfast social identity where legacy is cherry picked for credit or blame and reported facts are called "fake" like a mean girl's argument in an adolescent school yard for lack of advanced vocabulary. The voice of a calm "educated public" face to finger and slogan platitudes is a remnant of what never stopped BEING great about America. Bless you for your perseverance in the midst of what I long ago dismissed as futility.

Per capita and ratios don't paint a true picture... then what does? Someone with a million spends 'more' than someone with ten dollars by virtue of being ABLE to spend more but someone who has a million and gambles 500 grand of it away is less irresponsible than someone with 10 who gambles away 9, even if 500 grand is more than 9. Id say the per capita(ratios) makes alot more difference than raw numbers.

But you want to put Mississippi at the top of the list, because of ratios and per capita... Just a way of clogging the issues

not really, since cali has almost 16 times as many people,them spending 'more' is expected because of having 'more' to spend and more people to be concerned with.

Exactly......they are taking credit for the results from policies put in place by the previous administration. Looks like the 1 policy that the current administration has enacted (and the countless executive actions that stripped away previous safeguards) are beginning to get results.....and they don't look good...at all. We've seen this play out over and over again.....looks like it's about time for another war in order to get the focus off of the disaster that this administration has unleashed.

About all I can say is ..it has become rather clear why we have been left out of the loop when it comes to the workings of our government..it's because the country is being run by a bunch of morons,liars deplorables crooks, pervs and nuts...

Or as I like to call them, fellow Americans. the leaders are a reflection of the people, however much the people like to insist otherwise.

Since his electoral landslide in November 2016 Donald Trump has had to deal with spying by the Obama administration, a corrupt deep state special counsel on Russian collusion, a lackluster economy, a foreign policy disaster, and a radical far left mainstream media that reported negative hit pieces on the new president 90% of the time. Despite all of this bad news President Trump holds a 48% approval rating today in the Rasmussen daily tracking. The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 48% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump's job performance. Fifty-one percent (51%) disapprove. The latest figures include 34% who Strongly Approve of the way the president is performing and 42% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -8. President Trump has a stronger approval rating today than media darling Barack Obama did back in 2010 on this same day. Back on February 7, 2010 Barack Obama had an approval rating of 44% while 56% of likely voters disapproved of the far left president. Trump had a tremendous first year despite an unbelievable barrage of attacks against him. Results matter.
