    You do not understand the thinking of the Trumpeizdas. Anything good goes to Trumpeizda. Anything bad goes to the Kenyan.

    No. The discussion was quarterly numbers and how this last 4th quarter was the best in years.
    I gave you other links, you asked me for more, so yes, I gave you a link to the BEA site, which gives it to you excel.
    No. Hard Data from the BEA and the Fed is hardly a "strawman". Trump's fourth quarter was the best in years, just like I said.
    Read the topic title, the discussion is of the 4th QUARTER.
    You're missing 2017

    The poster does the same in every thread he/she either does not like or can't debunk, I can't fathom why it's tolerated since it's thread derailment.

    actually Trump nailed it, something that never happened under Obama. This is the year that will tell the tale though now that the tax overhaul has happened. OP need to stop reading and believing the fake news in the Washington Compost

    Not at all, trying to get you to return to the original thread and back your claims, I have been quite clear on that stop trying to pretend otherwise. Of course you could same time answer the government budget question I asked right here.

    Why do you keep dodging and refuse to back your claim?

    You have some doubt as to my gender? Now isn't that rich. I thought it would quite apparent in my avatar.

    I have asked the poster to actually return to the thread and answer that economic question there or just answer here in this economic thread to save some time. Would you like to take a shot at it I'm really curious as to the answer and may learn something new from it.

    The poster claimed that Bush could have and should have vetoed the Democrats 2009 budget and claimed I knew not of what I speak when I said no he could not have done, said I didn't know how the budget process works due to my lack of civics education. So I challenged him to explain his position, how could Bush have vetoed the bill. It is still an open question to him because I can't imagine a way Bush could have done that. Perhaps you can educate me.

    Who was predicting a 4% GDP this quarter. And you might want to wait until the revised figures come in before you back yourself into a corner. But haven't I heard you claim Trump could not take credit for the economy this year it is Obama's still Obama's economy?

    So I'm not understanding, the not hitting 3% GDP IS due to Obama and not Trump since we are still under an Obama economy? Is that what you believe?
