The average family income rose over $5,000 since 2017. Under the Obama administration, household incomes only grew by about $1,000 by the end of eight years.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The main things that increased in the Obama economy were unemployment and the number of people on food stamps. Admittedly, President Obama became President at a difficult economic time, but his policies resulted in the slowest and leanest economic recovery in American history. President Trump&#8217;s economic policies have resulted in economic growth in all segments of the economy. The middle class and all minorities are enjoying higher wages and more jobs. A return to the economic policies of President Obama would be a step backward&#8211;not a step forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday One America News posted an article detailing some recent statements by presidential candidate Joe Biden.
