Who is in on the joke that Obama is really 100% responsible for the current economic boost and fantastic economic conditions including up until today, Mid September 2019? I'm certain some morons will attempt to extend that into 2020 and perhaps as far as 2024. Do you have a point to make?

It took me one google and then an added one extra term and I found the article describing the chart in about 40 seconds. The stupid seem really stupid in doing their own searces for facts. That is why they remain stupid in general. It seems there are no GPS satelites to locate common sense. The page also contains this chart.

Even you can understand that Obama deficits far outlast his presidency. The ACA is the obvious example, where the ten year projected cost was a trillion dollars, but after he leaves office, those costs take off like a rocket. Entirely as-designed. We knew it at the time. Go look at the health care thread on SI dating back to the time of the negotiations. Those who were paying attention were fully aware that costs were backloaded while implementation dates moved out so the resultant deficits would not hit until after Obama left. Even the media commented on it significantly. Worse, is the long-term problem created by failed social programs (Medicare and Social Security) which will bankrupt the country in the coming few decades. Inevitably. That is why before Obama left office the CBO projected a return to trillion dollar deficits by 2022 with deficits under a trillion never to return again. At least not in our lifetimes. You don't usually strike me as naive but maybe I've missed that previously.
