Pretty good, indeed!

Democrats are besides themselves about the economy roaring ahead ......... and the market doing very well.

The impeachment was an attempt to mitigate the great economy and try to knock Trump down. It appears to have backfired: Trump's approval rating is actually going up!

There is an easy explanation: it would be insanity to embrace the policies of some of the leading contenders for the nomination. It would destroy this economy. Does anyone want to risk what is working for some pie in the sky scheme by the Democratic candidates?

I find Trump to be really offensive and uncouth in some of what he does and I wish he would be more restrained ......... but millions of voters will choose poor optics over hare-brained economic policies and mindless social spending.

Pretty good? Tell me what a 1-1.5% pay increase works out to on the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour? Oh, I’ll do it. .07 an hour! That’s $ 2.50 a week people!

Poor people have nothing to complain about under Trump!!

That's all in the feds hands. They keep printing and borrowing and thus devaluing the currency. Take some of that spending power away and we won't have rampant inflation.

So happy that the Republicans have come around to Keynesian stimulus. It is amazing that massive government spending (annual deficit of $1 trillion)and a $2 trillion tax cut can achieve an incredible economic growth rate of.............2%!!!!! Just WOW

There's no way the Dems can spin it. The economy is absolutely on fire and it looks like it'll keep going up in 2020. It spells trouble for the Dems

It is, and they know it. And there is not much they can do about this, that is why they began impeachment.

Not true. The Democrats don’t usually run up massive deficits when the economy is not in a recession- that’s the GOP (Reagan, Bush Jr, and now Trump).
It is just pathetic that with all the deficit spending they cannot get more than 2% growth.

Krugman, the dope who confidently said that market would drop by 25% if Trump was elected, is now opining on something else. Does anyone take this jerk seriously?

Yep, that is the main reason for the impeachment - a sort of Hail Mary pass given that the economy is doing phenomenally. They know that they are on such shaky grounds when it comes to impeachment that they still want to call witnesses during the Senate trial after ranting about how they have an air-tight case to justify impeachment in the House. Pelosi is trying to use leverage that she imagines she has to prevent the articles of impeachment being transferred to the Senate - so much for the airtight case!!

The Democrats and their minions in the media keep spinning news on the economy to suggest it is not doing well but with consumer confidence being as high as it is, they know it is falling on deaf ears.

Nasdaq just hit 9000 for the first time in history ........ how long before we see 10,000?

Of course, if we believe some of Trump's detractors on this forum, it has nothing to do with the economy which according to them is substandard in performance!

Is wage growth important? Only if the dollar becomes worth less and less.

Read somewhere that this is the biggest stock market gain since 1928.

Remind me -- what happened in 1929?

Democratic logic:

The rise in the market is because of Obama ........ and if we end up with a repeat of 1929, then it will be Trump's fault.
