they are very good for the economy, regulatory reform, tax reform. it is disingenuous for obama to argue we are seeing similar economic results when economic policies are different. we are a vastly different policymaking era now. we re seeing really sustained growth at a really remarkable rate. sustained job growth and friendly wage growth is coming and i because the labor market slack is declining. more and more people going back to work and is putting pressure on wages to go up. we are finally seeing in its policy change but not a function of luck or gratuity. it s really about a different course. president trump should get the credit for that. what you think? crisis talk about the jeff bezos and other tech executives deserve the real credit for america leading the world in the last 10 years with economic growth and low job numbers. the president does are some of the credit but not as much of the company is driving their
of course 2008, the financial crisis years, that might suppress some of the gdp figures in the court that we saw under obama in the first term. back to you. neil: very well done, susan thank you. working the weekends as well. very good overview. who deserves to take a bow on all of this? and can both take about? let s go to those interested. we have a fox news contributor, a magazine publisher and from exit strategies madison with begin with you. he takes the credit? i think president trump takes the credit here. he is doing what people said it was impossible in 2016. over four percent growth. historical. historic highs for consumer confidence, stock market woman, i can go on and on all day about the incredible things. policy, regulation, i could go on. that he has done to push the economy forward. neil: it is certainly the case
i think and i talked to a lot of ceos, they did an enormous amount of good because that was saving immediately. the tax cuts were huge in and of themselves but it was really after-the-fact. the regulatory pressure, no president really had it did change the math. absolutely, the regular tray component is much more significant in a lot of ways. you look at the energy sector, health care, those two in particular have been positively affected by the presidents regulatory is. in the beginning, that twin approach, regulations, was substantial. then the tax cuts for corporations, it was a dramatic difference. and i think regulations were actually one of the most incredible things he did. we look at this and there was 100,000 regulations when obama left office. donald trump credits under
the guy who started all of that. well my only point, i know we look at, it s what we have to go on. and to the earlier point, a lot was going on under each president but i think it s fair to say both can take a bow. i think it s dismissive of obama not to give trump any credit. it is dismissive. the real test will be when the federal reserve ratchets up rates beware of seeing that increase this month another one in december. we have had a couple this year already, that will be the test. we been living in sort of little to no five or six rate hikes. the markets basically have not stumbled at all. they said rate hikes are, we will build that in. the presumption is the economy strong and i think the policy is response. i think it will continue when we talk to average
62,000. had he not done those two things, is it your view that the recovery, would not have lasted? i think obama was a good slow economy present and donald trump is a good strong economy present. it had policies that work the environments. in a flip-flop situation out of the donald trump would be the right president. i don t think obama is a white-hot economy president. when he said he wouldn t be the right president is that because he is for government intervention? i think the handout level would be, it wouldn t be there. i think you need it at that time but in this economy you want to get things hotter than they got under obama. a republican might be more likely to do the government things you want a republican in that boom. obama would have done great. imagine what he did [multiple speakers]
