Subj : Re: Your tax dollars at To : Gregory Deyss From : Dale Shipp Date : Thu Dec 12 2019 01:49:04 -=> On 12-11-19 19:50, Gregory Deyss <=- -=> spoke to Dale Shipp about Re: Your tax dollars at <=- DS> Please tell us all what it is that Trump has done to lower the DS> unemployment rate? GD> As promised here ya go. GD> "African American unemployment is the lowest ever recorded in our GD> country. The Hispanic unemployment rate dropped a full point in the GD> last year and is close to the lowest in recorded history. Dems did GD> nothing for you but get your vote!" It happened, but what are the policies or laws enacted by Trump that caused that to happen. GD> The strength of the labor market in 2018 also was widespread, GD> affecting people of all backgrounds and education levels throughout the GD> nation. Over the course of the year, multiple new records for low GD> unemployment rates within demographic groups were set. In December GD> 2018, the unemployment rate for Hispanics fell to a series low (4.4 GD> percent), matching October 2018. Record low unemployment rates were GD> also achieved this year for African Americans (5.9 percent in May), GD> Asians (2.2 percent in May), and individuals with less than a high GD> school degree (5.0 percent in July). In November 2018, the unemployment GD> rate for teens (ages 16 to 19) was at its lowest rate since 1969. GD> The November 2018 unemployment rate for individuals with a high school GD> degree but no college fell to its lowest rate since 2000, while the GD> October 2018 unemployment rate for individuals with some college GD> education dropped to its lowest rate since 2001. It happened, but what are the policies or laws enacted by Trump that caused that to happen. GD> Stock Market under Trump Everyone is impressed with the performance of GD> the stock market under President Trump's especially Trump. Stocks have GD> risen in nine of the first ten months of the Trump Administration, a GD> record that no other U.S. president can match. That goes back to GD> President William McKinley in 1897; before 1896 there were no stock GD> indices. It happened, but what are the policies or laws enacted by Trump that caused that to happen. Plus, You quote the first ten months of the Trump administration. It is pretty common that a new President inherits the trends set by the previous President. That was true for Obama, who inherited a disastrous drop in market value caused by events during Bush's Presidency. He managed to pull the USA out of that recession, save the auto industry and then handed over a robust economy to Trump. GD> Stock market's value under Trump has grown by $6.9 trillion to $30.6 GD> trillion. The stock market has added $6.9 trillion in market cap since GD> Donald Trump was elected president. That is already nearly half of what GD> the market grew by in all eight years of the Obama administration. See above. GD> The continued low unemployment rate and the consistent employment GD> gains of more than 100,000 jobs every month in 2018 demonstrate the GD> effectiveness of the GD> Administration's economic policies. As workers continue to come off GD> the sidelines, there also remain opportunities for sustained employment GD> growth as we enter the new year. It happened, but what are the policies or laws enacted by Trump that caused that to happen. You have totally not answered the question, which what has Trump done to make those things happen. You described events which may or may not have had any relation to policies of the Trump administration. You did not describe policies that caused those events to happen.
