text:  very depressing economic realities that donald trump will inherit from barack obama   th  
  it would be a grave mistake to understate the amount of damage that has been done to the us economy over the past eight years in this article i am going to share some economic numbers with you that are extremely sobering anyone that takes a cold hard honest look at the numbers should be able to see that our economy is in terrible shape unfortunately the way that we see things is often clouded by our political views up until the election democrats were far more likely then republicans to believe that the economy was improving but now that is in the process of completely reversing according to gallup  only  percent of republicans believed that the economy was getting better before the election but that number has suddenly jumped to  percent after trumps election victory and the percentage of democrats that believe that the economy is getting better fell from  percent to  percent after the election here are some additional details from gallup  
  after trump won last weeks election republicans and republicanleaning independents now have a much more optimistic view of the us economys outlook than they did   just  of republicans said the economy was getting better in the week before the election while  said it was getting worse since the election  say it is getting better and  worse 
  conversely democrats and democraticleaning independents confidence in the economy plummeted after the election before the election  of democrats said the economy was getting better and  worse now democrats are evenly divided with  saying it is getting better and  saying it is getting worse 
  the truth of course is that the result of the election did not somehow magically alter the outlook for the us economy 
  we still have a giant mess on our hands and the following are  very depressing economic realities that donald trump will inherit from barack obama 
   nearly  out of every  americans have less than  in savings  that means that about twothirds of the country is essentially living paycheck to paycheck at this moment 
   reuters is reporting that us mall investors are poised to lose billions of dollars as the  retail apocalypse  in this nation deepens 
   credit card delinquencies have hit the highest level that we have seen since   
   approximately  percent of all americans have a debt that is at least  days past due 
   the rate of homeownership has fallen for eight years in a row and is now hovering near a  year low  
   the total number of government employees now outnumbers the total number of manufacturing employees in this country by almost  million  
   the number of homeless people in new york city where donald trump is from has hit a brand new record high  
   about  percent of all young adults are currently living with their parents  
   total household debt in the united states has now reached a grand total of  trillion dollars  
   the total amount of corporate debt in the us has nearly doubled since the end of  
   when barack obama entered the white house the us government was  trillion dollars in debt today the us national debt is currently sitting at a staggering total of   
  despite nearly doubling the national debt during his eight years in the white house barack obama is going to be the only president in united states history to never have a single year when us gdp grew by at least three percent 
  so will donald trump waltz in and suddenly turn everything around 
  just like when george w bush was elected there is a lot of optimism about the future right now among republicans 
  and in  republicans are going to have control of the senate and the house in addition to being in control of the white house 
  but does that mean that they will actually get anything done 
  for a moment lets review what didnt happen the last time the republicans were in this position the following is an extended excerpt from an article by author devvy kidd   the republicans had control of both houses of congress part of the time during bush jrs two terms did they lock down our borders no did they pass legislation to stop all funding for illegals which would selfdeport millions of liars cheats and thieves no read please how to selfdeport millions of illegals  did they stop trillions in unconstitutional spending no did they get rid of any of clintons unconstitutional executive orders one or two but otherwise let comrade bill clinton crap in our faces did they get rid of one unconstitutional cabinet like hhs department of education and epa no did they stop the unconstitutional foreign aid no did they stop unconstitutional spending for planned parenthood no congress just continues to use borrowed money to spend more debt did they stop unconstitutional spending for the gigantic hoax called global warming or climate change no trump the left just lost the war on climate change did bush jr get us out of all the destructive trade treaties killing american jobs no did they crack down on visas bringing in tens of thousands of foreign workers when american workers who want to work are left in the unemployment line no did they stop more and more federal regulations strangling americas businesses no did they impeach one single activist judge destroying our freedom and liberty no a republican controlled congress with a republican in the white house and they did virtually nothing to restore america to a constitutional republic and constitutional spending  
  so will things be any different under a trump administration 
  we shall see 
  there will be tremendous pressure to maintain the status quo in many instances because the process of fixing things would undoubtedly make conditions worse in the shortterm 
  a great example of this is the national debt as i discussed yesterday  the only reason why we are able to enjoy such a massively inflated standard of living in this country     federal government started spending only the money that it brought in through taxes our ridiculous debt  would begin collapsing immediately 
  we consume far more wealth than we produce and the only way that we are able to do this is by borrowing insane amounts of money 
  either donald trump will continue to borrow money recklessly or we will go into a major league economic downturn 
  it really is that simple 
  but when our politicians borrow money they are literally destroying the future of this country so the choice is pain in the shortterm or greater pain in the longterm 
  there is a way out and that would involve shutting down the federal reserve and going to a completely debtfree form of money but that is a topic for another article 
  and unfortunately that is not something that is even on donald trumps radar at this point 
  no matter who won the election the next president was going to be faced with some very harsh economic realities 
  there are many out there that have faith that donald trump can pull off an unprecedented economic miracle but there are others that are deeply skeptical 
  let us hope for the best but let us also keep preparing for the worst
