Well without a control group that conclusion is unfounded. Historically, gov't spending is the best way out of a recession.

Yeah, the economy went from pathetic to miraculous overnight lol. Let's try that again.
The economy has been on the same basic trajectory since about 2010. It may have gotten a boost from the tax cuts stuff, but that's effectively increasing gov't spending to stimulate the economy, just like Obama did. And it was already doing fine, it didn't even need it.

Again, same trajectory as before but with a slight stimulus owing to the tax cuts to the rich.
