President Obama spent eight years peddling catchy phrases like "change you can believe in," "an economy built to last," "middle-class economics." But at the same time, he insisted that cutting taxes and deregulating the economy have "never worked." So he raised taxes, unleashed regulators, and disparaged the private sector. Businesses, in turn, hunkered down, not knowing what anti-business policy might emerge next from the administration.
The recent surge in optimism among job creators should be a clear enough rebuke to Obamanomics. And it should serve as a loud warning to those Democrats who are determined to stop Trump's pro-growth agenda.
It should also be front page news.

It’s same ‘feel’ of when we came out from under the malaise of Jimmy Carter and Reagan was President.
It’s tangible, you can almost taste it...
And now the lying Democrat media is trying to peddle the fable that the November 9-March boom in the stock market was really a very late blooming recovery due to OBAMA’S economic policies. Who believes that one? Only the Vagina Girls and the Occupy Marxists.
My sales rep in Florida tells me Republican areas of the state are suddenly booming while Democrat areas are sliding into an economic tailspin. Can’t help but have positive consequences for future elections.
I hope he sees a huge increase in commissions! The productive class is doing well, except for those relying on illegal immigrants to fulfill their business plans.
Generally speaking liberals are not optimistic. They complain about everything - except big government which they worship.
The virtue of HOPE is a theological virtue which is tied into believe in an immortal God. The majority of liberals are atheists or agnostics, hence the lack of hope. That will explain why they do not report on the change in the nations’ perspective of the future. Liberals do not travel outside their own inner group which mirrors their own morals/or lack thereof.
On another thread, I saw that mining, factories, and other like industries have reported firing back up in the rust belt and mountain areas. Those areas could use the work too.
I see the same thing: trying to peddle the bunko line that after 8 years of epic fail, now its working.
The only way Liberals can get/keep voters is to paint the worst possible picture of America.
To hear THEM, America is the black hole of Calcutta....crime; poverty; oppression; exploitation; racism; rigid class divisions ...and of course NO opportunity or social mobility... etc.. And of course, all of those things are created and perpetuated by greedy, uncaring Conservatives.
Liberals make THEMSELVES out to the only people who can rescue voters from the evil Conservatives. Their constituents are relentlessly told that they are cheated, exploited, disserved, oppressed. Of course there is NO lie on earth that losers people gobble up more gluttonously than the one about being oppressed, cheated, disserved and exploited, etc.
Unless their constituents accept this howling lie, Liberals cannot get into office. Even then, the ‘I hate America’ agenda is unceasing…. Liberals MUST perpetually re-educate their voters by ignoring and misrepresenting the many gains that have been made and about the extensive and costly plans for further gains.
On the other hand, Conservative voters GET that America is NOT perfect ...BUT, they also understand and BELIEVE that, even at its worst, America is constantly growing and improving so that it is always a superior and unequaled milieu for anyone who recognizes individual freedom and unlimited opportunity.
To hate and disparage a place which offers so much is absurd and inconceivable. Conservatives know that their own effort and ability are the sole prerequisites for success in this country and they are optimistic…in or out of office!
Great news!
At least it MADE the news in the Indianapolis Star; another Gannett rag.
