I find Hillary very hard to listen to on TV and Trump is simply the most amusing President to follow during my lifetime.
I'm not sure what else Trump has up his sleeve, but if he has anything better than this Mooch guy in the works, I'll be impressed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Le0Q4AzcGjA
what about solar tho?
You are wrong on the same as if Thunder thighs won, part of the optimism that is bouying the stock market and the consumer confidence is that the gov. will decrease and be less intrusive in our lives. Of course we are seeing the true DC in congress but I expected that
Trump's energy policy is pathetic, but as I've said he is irrelevant. Industry moves forward without leadership in this country.
We are in one of the longest bull markets in history, a nice continuation of the trend that started 8 years ago. Same with the decline in unemployment, etc. Trump is more fun than Hillary, so I'm good.

Obummer was based on 8 years, we will have to wait to compare apples to apples
Agree, it's a stupid. But it's stupid to think the jobs numbers or GDP growth under Trump is great but bad under Obama. They're identical.
Obama was .5, Trump is 1.2. Not sure why you keep calling them identical.
You're looking at an old article (look at the date). GDP growth right from the source.
2016 is 0.6% in Q2, compared to 0.6% in 2017. Q1 2016 is 0.1% vs. 0.3% in 2017.
I'm pretty sure you're looking at Quarterly growth, and AG is looking at annual growth.
One would think, but annualized Q2 is over 2%
True, but the article AG linked was talking about annual growth, and the numbers you gave were quarterly.
They've revised the numbers several times, but that still doesn't change that you're talking quarters, AG talking annual.

I will agree with one thing you said....industry moves forward without leadership...thus the fact that despite every effort by Obummer and his cronies to force money into the hands of their politically connected pals through their energy give-aways pretending to be an energy policy, development of oil resources and natural gas resources boomed. Proving once again that government policy is no match for profit motive, which will eventually overcome any and all headwinds put in place by corrupt pols and their benefactors.
Looks like the only thing 1984 got wrong was the date.
