Former Pres. Barack Obama reminded us that Donald Trump inherited his economy. And the data proves it. The average quarterly economic growth under Trump was 2.5%, almost exactly what it was under Obama’s second term: 2.4%. Trump’s pre-pandemic economy grew along trends established during Obama’s leadership, and there wasn’t a dramatic shift when Trump took office. The data suggests Trump didn’t build a great economy — Obama did. #obama #trump #economy

23 Nobel Prize-winning economists are backing Vice President Kamala Harris' economic plan over Donald Trump’s. Trump’s plan to deport as many as 20 million people would devastate the economy, cutting the GDP by twice the amount it fell during the 2008 financial crisis. That’s not hyperbole: It could literally spark a second Great Depression. #kamalaharris #trump #economy

Visa and Mastercard executives revealed a profit margin of over 50%. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) grilled representatives from the credit card companies for not negotiating lower interchange fees for small businesses as they do with large corporations.

Committee Chair Dick Durbin (D-IL) said of the hearing, ‘This is an odd grouping. The most conservative and the most liberal members happen to agree that we have to do something about this situation.’ #credit #economy #creditcard
