If you remember, Trump did his best to foster anxiety about the economy. As did many Republicans. They pushed the idea that the "real" unemployment rate was well into the double digits and the Obama administration was cooking the numbers. Not to mention, all economic indices were terrible and getting worse. As soon as Trump got elected, all of that turned around and things started to rapidly improve. When you view it through that lens, it was just a Democrat lie that the economy continued on a trend that started a decade before.

>> But I'm curious about what you think Trump did to address that. The only notion I've even heard suggested to address that is reparations and in no universe did happen.

The only solution to it, the ONLY solution to it, is jobs. There is no other way to address wealth disparity.

When every person who wants a good job can get one, wealth disparity is equalized. Federal Government has no other legitimate role. Including that outrage of teaching bullshit in the schools.
