By all objective accounts, the economy is doing extremely well under Trump. Like near all-time records well. And ordinary people are benefiting yugely, with record numbers of jobs available, and at higher wages.
Democrats and the mainstream press have no answer to those facts except more hate for Trump, as always. That's the wrong answer.
The right answer would be, "Damn, the guy's an asshole, but he's doing something right that we did not manage to do. Why didn't we?"
The probability of their continuing with the wrong answer is near 100%. And so they will keep losing elections until they reach enlightenment. I hope it happens soon.
And the SSDI progam is getting more solvent... EVERY SO often, the federal government’s financial performance surprises on the upside. Recent case in point: new data in the annual report of the Social Security trustees showing unexpected resiliency in the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program.
Just three years ago, in July 2015, the Obama administration warned that the program’s reserves were so low that it might not be able to cover expected benefits in 2016. Now, the trustees say the program will be solvent until 2032. Declining disability insurance receipts may be one reason that labor force participation by “prime-age” workers, those between the ages of 25 and 54, has ticked up from 80.6 percent in September 2015 to 81.8 in May 2018.
The very low unemployment rate of 3.9% isn't effecting ordinary people, argues writer. LOL.

Unmentioned is the 2.7% rise in wages YoY and 2018 matches 2000 for the lowest unemployment since 1969.
