Sorry I guess I was being a bit confusing. It’s partly because Obama’s minions immediately claimed the improvement was due to Obama, when in fact Obama did not create a single job that was filled by Americans.

So Obama’s “jobs” were actually low-wage positions all filled by immigrants—I suspect a large number of them were illegals. Meanwhile, the American labor force was decimated and has yet to recover. On top of that, the Democrats established the highest corporate tax rates in the developed world, which caused many American companies to leave and relocate to other countries. Huge amounts of capital fled the country. Whole segments of industry and manufacturing are just gone now. The result was an 8 year economic depression which we’re just starting to come out of under Trump.
