Consumer confidence hits highest level in 15 years

Last Updated Dec 27, 2016 12:46 PM EST

WASHINGTON — American consumers are the sunniest they’ve been in more than 15 years.

The Conference Board said Tuesday that its consumer confidence index climbed to 113.7 in December, up from 109.4 in November and the highest since it reached 114 in August 2001. It’s another sign consumers are confident in the aftermath of a divisive election campaign.

The index measures consumers’ assessment of current conditions, which dipped from November but was still very positive, and their expectations for the future, which hit a 13-year high.

Let's not forget the 800,000 PER MONTH that were being lost when President Obama came into office. He was handed a very bad economy and has done a great job in spite of the drag of the Congress. As the quote above says, it remains to be seen if the next administration can continue the trend. Now he hands off a much improved one to Trump. Let's hope he doesn't mess it up.

OMG. To think that the world is watching this egomaniac tweet congratulations to himself, exaggerate the numbers etc. for things that happen before he even takes office. He even THANKS himself!  lol!

It would be funny if it weren't so sad and embarrassing to see a grown man carry on so.

The world was gloomy before I won - there was no hope. Now the market is up nearly 10% and Christmas spending is over a trillion dollars!
5:32 PM - 26 Dec 2016


True to form, Trump exaggerated the numbers: Holiday shopping is expected to reach $656 billion, not $1 trillion, and consumer confidence is reaching a 13-year high, not a 15-year high.

What is so unreal is... Lame Dork poster Markle suddenly extolling how good the economy is doing now that a Republican administration is about to be sworn in......

Donald Trump had nothing to do with what the Lame Dork now says is virtuous. It will be MONTHS before ANYTHING Trump does has any effect on the economy!!!
