    What you care about has no bearing on reality. The gdp growth rate, along with every other economic metric has remained on the same unchanging trend line since 2010. This is demonstrable fact , as you've been shown.

    It's pretty clear you don't understand what the trend line is supposed to determine.

    Yes, the trend from 2010 - 2019 is UP, but that's only if you ignore the trend from 2010 - 2016, which is flat.

    The fact that you don't understand this concept is amusing.

    But in your mind, the trend-line remained unchanged, when clearly, the trend-line steepened since 2016.

    It is pointless to try and have a discussion with you as you will merely claim you have already refuted anything posted, and refuse to answer direct questions to you. Your history of obfuscation well documented.
    And of course your claims of white flags, no white flag offered.

    If you going to claim my post was not factually correct then be specific and refute it else you have nothing.

    Well for the sample they were and they are revised routinely as they more thoroughly analyze the data, sometimes up sometimes down. In this case there was actually more jobs created in those two months than previously reported.

    I’ve proven this false, and your own graph confirmed that. Sorry.

    Already refuted this. You are cherry picking. I’ve shown you the actual trend line from 2010 to present. It is not flat. That is reality.

    It's not flat BECAUSE the trend changed in 2016. I've already shown this. You've refuted nothing.

    No it didn’t, as I’ve repeatedly shown you. 2016, 2017 and 2018 were all lower percentage increases than 2015. The trend from 2010 to present has remained unchanged. It was not flat at all in those 9 years, as I’ve repeatedly shown you.

    No. 2010 - 2016, there was no growth.

    2016 - Present, there was growth.

    The graph from the FRED shows that the trend changed in 2016.

    No it doesn’t. I’ve repeatedly shown you why. Cherry picking and making invalid comparisons will not change reality. 2015 was the highest GDP percentage increase in the past decade.

    And 2016 was the lowest, which is why GDP growth was flat when Obama left office.

    You can keep saying the same things all you want, but the sooner you grasp your ignorance the easier it is for you to learn.

    It doesn’t matter how many times you post a cherry picked graph. Reality will still be here. The trend has been on the same exact trend line since 2010. I’ve repeatedly proven this, by showing you the graph from 2010 to present.

    By using a cherry picked graph and ignoring reality.

    How do you explain that GDP growth was flat when Obama left office?

    I think you have it backwards. Job creation is declining from the last couple Obama years

    Can you explain what is cherry picked about showing a graph from 2010 to present to support my argument that the trend has remained the same from 2010 to present?
