WSJ: Whoever wins the White House next week will take office with no shortage of challenges, but at least one huge asset: an economy that is putting its peers to shame.

Perhaps it will always be a mystery to you, Effeteposer.
I cannot imagine the mental pain it doesn't cause you.
@#14 ... Tell that the average American family where their food, utilities, insurances, fuel, etc., costs much more than four years ago. ...
Even with the target 2% inflation, those items you mention will cost more in 4 years than they do now.
Maybe you should be more critical of the corporations and companies not raising the wages they pay to ~average Americans~ to keep up with inflation.
