Economic growth under President Trump has been the exact opposite of Obama. Under Obama, we were constantly assured that a big turnaround was just over the next hill. Under Trump, the economy is booming and the job market is fantastic.

Reuters reports, via FOX Business:

US jobless claims drop to near 45-year low

The number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits fell to a near 45-year low last week, pointing to strong job growth in February, which should continue to underpin the economy.

Initial claims for state unemployment benefits dropped 7,000 to a seasonally adjusted 222,000 for the week ended Feb. 17, the Labor Department said on Thursday. Claims fell to 216,000 in mid-January, which was the lowest level since January 1973.
