Dems Trying to Strangle the Economy
Timothy Birdnow
How is this? In fact we keep hearing all sorts of bad news about how the public is upset about the economy yet by most metrics the economy is doing extremely well; inflation is down, unemployment is only slightly up (and that because people who weren't working anyway are now actually looking for work), gas prices are down, and investments in America are way up. Oh, and we are reducing the national debt. And many jobs are opening up that were previously stolen by illegal aliens.
But still....
Consumer confidence is down.
There is only one reason and that's the government shutdown.
This is no time for panic yet I see so many Republicans doing precisely that. It is ridiculous how a temporary bump is sending the GOP scurrying.
Do not fear; the trends are all upward. That is why the Democrats have shut the government down for so long in the first place; they are trying to strangle any recovery so Trump can't get credit.

Gas prices are certainly not down in California. I'm lucky if I can find gas for less than $5 per gallon. The "cut rate" stations sell gas for $4.95 per gallon. If gas prices are down it's because the price of oil has dropped. Why has the price of oil not dropped in California?

Well, around the rest of the country it's dropped. Sadly you live in the People's Republic of California Bill and they do price-support with taxes and regulations to keep it high, of course.
How are gas prices in Mexico? Can you sneak across the border and buy some there?

Trump's policies have led to a reduction in crude oil prices, but they can't reduce gas prices that much because America is having to cope with a shortage of oil refineries. If we can convince petroleum companies that crude prices will stay low and that Democrats will not again take over the reins and stifle our ability to "drill, baby, drill," they probably will build more refineries and we will be OK.

Great points about the economic recovery! Many small businesses are indeed seeing growth. Speaking of economic activity, even the residential sector is showing signs of increased consumer spending - we've noticed more homeowners in Alachua County investing in property cleanouts and renovations this year.
