Not even Trump in all his hyperbole is claiming that it's as good as you seem to think it is.

The current economic expansion in the U.S. is the longest uninterrupted period of growth in its modern recorded history. A development that President Trump has wasted few opportunities to highlight, tweeting just this week "our economy is the best it has ever been. Best employment and stock market numbers ever."

10 seconds in google. 10 fucking seconds. You couldn't even spend that much time to check before spewing bs!

The ones happening throughout the country, including areas which have a path to $15/hour.

That's on a state by state basis. So you're saying things are great in the (mostly red) states that don't increase the min wage?

No, wages aren't increasing because the economy isn't as good as you pretend. It's better than it was under Obama, sure, but that's a pretty tiny hurdle to jump.

It's literally the exact same broken "good on paper" economy that Obama left us, except now with even more trickle down economics bull shit thanks to the new tax law and even more Fed Reserve meddling thanks to Trump publicly demanding they cut rates despite the economy being "the best it's ever been" (per Trump).
Here, a source on the bolded, before you can even try to pathetically deflect and claim that's bs:

(by the way, how do you feel about negative interest rates? Trump would LOVE to have them!)

Stream streaming utter bullshit? I'm shocked! Shocked! Well, not that shocked! You said "trillions." Plural. Meanwhile you're rounding up to a single trillion. And the issue is that we're not cutting spending, which is what we should be doing.

I said trillion. Singular. You can go back and check anytime you're willing to accept you might be wrong on something. So probably never.
The plural was on deficits, as in we'll be having them every year for the foreseeable future, thanks to Trump.
Try to keep up, or at least not linchpin your entire argument on your own failure to read.

And pro tip: Republicans NEVER cut spending. They've talked the same trickle down bull shit for forty fucking years. Had full power over both houses of Congress and the presidency several times since. Never cut spending. Often raise it, usually on military. Their public goal is to cut spending. Their private goal is to "starve the beast". Basically, cowardly avoid taking responsibility for cutting spending from an angry public by running up the deficit so high that eventually Democrats have no choice but to do it for them and "be the bad guy", to save the country from economic ruin caused by their own stupid policies.
