    1. @R vasquez sad uneducated child. Trump is the President. Mitch went on vacation instead of voting on a stimulus. Trump only offered a stimulus if it meant businesses got a free pass for ignoring COVID safety protocols. Trump is fine killing Americans and protecting Big Business.

    2. ​@R vasquez – Oh please. I’ve been in the market since the DOW was at 1,100. The big boys control the market. They sell losers and buy winners. There are always winners in every situation. Pelosi has nothing to do with it. Neither does tRump. Even when the market goes down, the big boys make money because they trade by computer programs & algorithms. When you pay millions of $$$ to replace a comminutions cable to save 3/100’s of a second on trades, you aren’t doing the trade yourself. They are trading & buying millions of shares per second. They buy a stock 1 minute and then sell it the next to make 5 cents per share. When you sell 10 million shares, that’s a lot of money in just 1 minute. Get real.

    1. Democracy is in danger now and what we do will determine our future as a democracy! We can no longer tolerate trumptrash and his destruction of our country! Biden/Harris 2020!

    1. @chris bale Huh? I said record high savings accounts. While the media wants you to believe one thing, stats show a different picture. Are there some struggling yes, and I wish Pelosi would get out of the way and provide a vehicle for stimulus checks to Americans, but she won’t.

    2. @James Hallman record high savings accounts…. in high level savings… that doesnt mean the entire USA is making more money. it means the top percentage of rich are making more money and the disparity is growing larger.

    3. @James Hallman as of last month. homeless population was reported at 31% higher than last year. more than a quarter more. setting all gains back since the great depression. congress let the protections expire from covid relief. and yes they are from both presidential and government negligence. it is easily provable.

    4. @chris bale It actually means that across the board people are saving more and spending less. outside of the demo-lockdown cities and states most have jobs and while not terrific as before pandemic they are doing well, but inside those areas, yeah its bad they need to loosen up and go back.. you will see it and its only days away, after Nov 3rd the politicians will have no reason to keep it closed. Remember, all the restrictions originally began in order to slow spread and not overwhelm healthcare system—Success!, this only became all about lives once is was weaponized in order to affect the election. You really need to think back and look around in order to have a realistic outlook on it that is not blurred by media coverage.

    5. @chris bale 2018, HUD reported there were roughly 553,000  people in the  ,  In 2014, approximately 1.5 million sheltered homeless people were counted.

  1. So in reality he is still playing catchup on all fronts. Now Trump’s pockets are full of taxpayer money, so you could say that his personal economy is doing well

    1. In his pocket? He isn’t even taking any money for being president, scratch that he’s only accepting 1 dollar and donating the rest to fight against child predators. The man gave up his business to reform the country. God ya’ll MSM people still amaze me.

  2. 40 million workers lose their job trillions $ pumped into economy as life support of course there’s growth. Wall Street is joke. Its there job to sell snake oil till next recession bailouts.

  3. Good thing the 1% have so much money, or the woes of the other 99% might hinder the GDP recovery.
    What would the neighbours think then?

  4. Is this the first time in history, ECONOMY hasn’t risen during an ELECTION year ? More ECONOMY NEWS…CENTRAL BANKS, SELLING GOLD, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A DECADE…..CRUISE LINES LOBBY WHITE HOUSE, TO END NO SAIL-ORDER ?

  5. That’s great economic recovery, the stimulus package really helped the companies to rehire the employees and thus record low unemployment rate in past 7 months despite the pandemic.
    Well done Americans.

  6. What happened to that depression coming? California, New York and Illinois still basically closed yet still V shaped. Good job Trump.
