And while I am at it, you seem to forget what Obama inherited from Republican Bush.

Sure. This is always the response of the Left. Obama, good. Trump, bad.

Why didn't Obama show any significant growth in the eight years he was President? Oh, yeah ...that's right ...I forgot: It was Bush's fault.

Get a life.

I got a good laugh out of that too!

It's always the same with them. They can't deal with reality.

Economic miracles are happening under President Trump. Big budget surplus in January thanks to President Trump's economic miracle work.

12 months into Presidency

January 2018 President Trump budget surplus of 49 billion

January 2010 Socialist Barack Obama budget deficit 42 billion

Sadly 2010 was just beginning of the debt increases under Barack Obama.

Now thanks to President Trump's massive tax cuts for businesses and individuals the budget surpluses rocketed for the month.

<sniff!>

hmmm...

Just like I thought.

Perhaps a dose of reality

The point is that fuel prices generally increase as the economy is banging on all cylinders.

It's to be expected.

It takes special talent to maintain high prices when the economy sucks.

Um, did you read the date of the OP? And did you realize it is long obsolete information?

But maybe you ignored all that, since you are not going to like it if you did pay attention to it.

Who tracks this stuff monthly?

Yearly is what matters. trumps first go at a budget leads to increasing yearly deficits.

I am opposed to all Presidents and the mere concept of them, but if we were to have one, this guy should have been the one (s)elected.

Gas prices are in a good place right now.

The recession ended in June 2009? I do believe the debt was high, big time unemployment and food stamp numbers, record foreclosures. Trump was handed off a very good economy, what exactly did he do to deserve credit.
