" a nine-year-old economic expansion still has plenty of steam despite being one of the oldest ever."

That's because the 'steam' is there now because we haven't really had a 'nine year expansion'. We've had an eight year Obama inspired stagnation, followed by a Trump inspired one year explosion. There's plenty of 'steam' left for that to expand even farther.

I’ve been telling y’all the economy - the real economy - is MUCH better than 1 year ago or even 6 months ago. I just finished a project and started a new one in the last month. I had something I’ve not had in a decade - leverage. The result is a 20% increase in pay in the last year.

The MSM once again is lying. There was no recovery under Obama for years and years. The upturn under President Trump has been dramatic.

Honesty and financial journalism are barely friends in the best of times. I agree that I hardly call the Obama period as an “expansion”.
