Bernie Sanders: Strong Economy Due to 2008 'Rebound,' Not Trump

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., admitted the economy under President Donald Trump is "doing well" in a new interview, but said it's part of a "rebound" from the 2008 recession — not a product of Trump's policies.

"The economy is doing well. And I'm sure I don't have to give Trump any credit. I'm sure he will take all the credit that he wants," Sanders, a leading Democratic candidate for president, told ABC News.

"But what we should also know is that what we are looking at is a 10-year rebound from the Wall Street crash of 2008."

Sanders then took a shot at the 2017 tax cuts law, which Democrats have slammed as benefiting the wealthy and corporations.

"I do not believe Trump's massive tax breaks for billionaires [are] the cause of the good economy," he said.

"When you talk about good economy … talk to the workers who are making $9 an hour or $10 an hour. … The truth is that half of the people in this country today, despite the good economy, are living paycheck to paycheck — and millions of people are working two or three jobs just to put food on the table."

As I’ve pointed out a thousand times on here (and everywhere) it’s impossible. Sanders and any of these leftist politicians are singing the same tune since the numbers came out last week. Hell, they’ve been trying to say all along...lol.

The Economy That Wasn’t Supposed to Happen: Booming Jobs, Low Inflation

"After more than two years of the Trump administration, warnings that trade wars and erratic management style would throw the economy off course have proved wrong so far, and tax cuts and deregulation are most likely part of the reason for the strong growth rates in 2018 and the beginning of 2019"

Good for America that Obama was wrong.
