When a person is employed for wages for a minimum of 1 hour a week, he has a job!
Guys holding signs asking for free food at highway exits are employed according to the Obama economy.

If Cruz is elected, he will slah and burn and the economy will boom.
Imagine an IRS halved or eliminated...Imagine The EPA halved or eliminated...Imagine the burden of record keeping and the costs associated with the 70,000 page IRS regulations gone... Imagine the billions of dollars a year removed from the economy and wasted by an out of control government left in the private sector....
BOOM!

One of the first solid things President Cruz can do is restore faith in government data. Bring in the heads of every agency and dictate that all data will be real and trustworthy like it used to be.

‘Bring in the heads of every agency and dictate that all data will be real and trustworthy like it used to be.’
Better yet: Fire their asses along with a majority of their underlings. Hire ADP to do the numbers at a much reduced cost.

That is not a new story. You can take comfort in the fact that you are not alone.

Bring in the heads of every agency and dictate that all data will be real and trustworthy like it used to be.The political branches of the government began tampering with the numbers all the way back in 1961 under Kennedy. Every president, both Democratic and Republican, since then has lived with cooked books.
Starting in 1992, the Federal Reserve began cooking their books, and that hasn't changed since then. You'd have to have Congress drastically alter the Fed to get honesty out of that quarter.

The Treasury Department does the numbers. The Federal Reserve inflates the currency.

The Obama Depression is showing surprising similarity to the Roosevelt Depression. Roosevelt turned a bad recession into the "Great Depression" by bad economic policy at the start of his administration that wasn't ever corrected. Obama has done the same. A number of years after the start of the Roosevelt Depression the economy began to look a little promising. Then along came more of the same bad policy, and it tanked again. Dittos Obama.
The "good" news is that it looks like Iran may be getting ready to start a war.

In addition to Treasury, Labor and Commerce have their own statistics, also doctored. And the Fed maintains statistics also.

To: ClearCase_guy
The debt has gotten so high, at such artificially low interest rates, that the economy improving would be devastating for the economy and the federal deficit. I haven’t figured the numbers again for 2014, but for 2013, the deficit plus fed fiat money was a falsely created 2.3 trillion, for a total growth of 300 billion...meaning that the economy was imploding at $2 trillion a year.

You said..
“If a good person (Cruz) gets into the Oval Office, the media will go into overdrive with TONS of bad economic news, scandals and stories of suspected corruption. They will sabotage all efforts at real progress. The people will lament “the good old days” when Obama made the economy hum — no matter what the economy is doing in 2017: it won't be as good as the glory days of 2009-2016.”
Pessimism?
They tried it with Reagan. Didn't work. And your still basing it on the premise that the media has a monopoly and they have a high level of trust with the general public
