Ezra Klein is onto something..

The unemployment rate is 4.9 percent. Consumer sentiment is back at its 1996 level. The Census Bureau says median incomes jumped by more in 2015 than in any year on record. Poverty is down. Inequality is declining. Health insurance coverage is up. We are far, far outpacing our peer nations.

Here’s a thought experiment. What if Mitt Romney had won in 2012? What if it was his economy that was seeing sub–5 percent unemployment, falling poverty, and the largest median wage gains since the Census Bureau began keeping records? There would be parades in the streets. President Romney would be hailed as the second coming of Ronald Reagan — or maybe even better!

Progressivism would be discredited. The fundamental wisdom of conservatism would be affirmed. Remember, Romney merely promised he would cut unemployment below 6 percentage points by the end of his first term. "I can tell you that over a period of four years, by virtue of the policies that we’d put in place, we’d get the unemployment rate down to six percent, and perhaps a little lower," he told Time during the campaign. Reality, as we are living in it, has outpaced even his campaign promises.
