Again, why isn't it ever mentioned that Trump inherited the current economy

[GusFring]

When Obama was in office all I heard were the unemployment#s were fake. Real Unemployment, whatever happened to that? Obama inherited actual shit he had to clean up. It pusses me off so much.

1. I've heard it mentioned in passing on MSNBC...

but nobody has really emphasized the point that we're riding the last vestiges of that greatest and longest rebound in history that really started in 2009/10.

I hear you. But it follows along with all the bullshit about how far left the Dems are trying to go and ignoring how far right that the Repubs have dragged the country.

Gus: why isn't it ever mentioned that Trump inherited the current economy

Yes dems are disappointingly mum on this issue, or do not present much of the facts.

Obama lowered the unemployment rate by nearly 50% during his 8 years*. Trump so far has lowered it about 25%.
Obama lowered african american unemployment by about 42% during his 8 years, trump by about 25%.
https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2019/aug/01/donald-trump-said-hes-done-more-african-americans-/

Trump likely will never reach obama's figures, since overall UE rate would need fall to ~2.5% to hit a 50% reduction for trump. Black UE rate would need reach ~4.0% for a 50% reduction for trump (currently ~6.0%).

* Unemployment (UE) rate when obama took office was about 9% and then increased to about 10% due to the gwbush inspired recession, which should not be blamed on obama, he's not god. So there are two start points, one when the recession bottomed out & started to reverse, the other on jan 20, 2009 when obama took office. From the inauguration obama lowered the UE rate approx 46%, from the top end of ~10% UE rate it was lowered a bit over 50%.
