   Which is the proof that it was booming, since "booming" was the exact   
   term that Trump used to describe his economy.   
      
   So its either that it was booming under Biden, or its not & Trump lied.   
      
   Or of course there's also the possibility that it was booming under   
   Biden *and* Trump was lying, and NoBody is lying now, because the cited   
   jobs numbers aren't really "about equal".  So let's check those numbers:   
      
      
   Biden slope 2021-23: 12940/12354 = 1.04743403 = 4.74% rate of gain   
   Trump slope 2007-19: 12439/12817= 1.03038829  = 3.04% rate of gain   
      
   Going from 3.04% to 4.74% is a "mere" +56% rate increase.   
      
   So did NoBody:   
      
   a) didn't check facts before rashly making their claim?   
   b) got their math wrong because they're bad at math?   
   c) not understand how to do the math calculation?   
   d) just knowingly lied?   
      
   Plus:   
      
   e) is a luzer who hides from my such questions!
