Summary
Donald Trump’s 2.3 percent growth in 2019 was achieved with just 3.7 percent unemployment and 1.8 percent rate of inflation.There is a more formal way to compare the economic periods called a “misery index.” Ironically, it was popularized Carter himself, who used it to relentlessly attack Gerald Ford. That gives us Trump modified misery index of 7.53.In other words, Trump’s economy is much, much better than Carter’s by this measure.Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
