Obama left an economy that went from 10 % unemployment to 4.6%. That is terrific, as was the tremendous increase in the stock market. We had the longest period of job growth in the history of this country. The main reason for the slower growth rate was the the huge task of bringing this economy from the brink of disaster and the solid wall of Republican rejection of anything Obama wanted to do. He proposed a large infrastructure plan that would have created jobs and now Trump is promoting the exact same thing.
