3rd Quarter GDP up 3.5% - Don't expect Democrats to talk about it.

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/26/first-read-on-us-q3-2018-gross-domestic-product.html

Except Obama, of course... He'll be the loudmouth loser trying to take credit for it.

 

Trump promised 4.0 annually, "maybe 5", in his words.

 

Really?
He promised?

Give me a link to see if he promised it in his 1st 2 years.

So next you're going to whine "Trump's economy is only 80% better than Obama's, not 100% better"...

 

December 2017:

"So we're at 3.3 percent GDP. I see no reason why we don't go to 4 percent, 5 percent, and even 6 percent."

Glad to help.

 

Politifact:

Politifact: "Donald Trump’s promise of 4 percent economic growth a year did not happen in 2017" https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-...ter/promise/1414/grow-economy-4-percent-year/

 

I'm glad to talk about it. What's notable is how little talking the Repubs are doing about the cause for the jump in GDP, the tax cut. That's because the tax cut remains unpopular.

Why Republican tax cuts are still unpopular

https://www.washingtonpost.com/blog...s-are-still-unpopular/?utm_term=.eaf40e50f24d

"It is less than three weeks until the midterm elections, and not only is there still no surge of support for the Republican tax cuts, they remain resoundingly unpopular. On one hand, it should be little wonder that few fell for the Trump tax con. It rained benefits on the highest earners and wealth holders, while offering pennies to the majority of the population. The nonpartisan Tax Policy Center pointed out late last year that the typical middle-income household saw an annual after-tax gain of around $930. That’s not even $18 a week. No surprise, few noticed it in their paychecks. As for the widely heralded bonuses that companies such as AT&T and Sinclair Broadcasting all but immediately announced they would give out as a result of the law, well, workers aren’t stupid and they know the difference between a permanent hourly raise and a one-time gift."
........................................................................................................................................................................
People who are not members of the Cult of Denial understand who the prime beneficiaries of the tax cut are..........and more importantly what it is doing to the national debt. Most people realize there is going to be a cost to be paid in the future for the gains largely going to the rich and to Wall Street.

 

If you think that means he promised to hit 4% in the next 9 months, then reading isn't your strong suit.

 

And the left will be agreeing with that. It will be the same even on the last day of Trump's presidency.

There is nothing that could be accomplished that would compel the left to acknowledge Trumps success- they are that deeply committed to their own hate campaign.

 

Are you some kind of racist? Because Trump is Caucasian, he's supposed to be able to snap his fingers and change the pathetic mess Obama left behind instantly? Democrats gave Obama 8 years to own the results of his policies. In fact, folks like you allowed Obama to act like a bystander, like he had nothing to do with his pathetic performance, as late as 2016. The bigotry of low expectations benefitted Obama.

Haven't seen Democrats so mad since we took away their slaves.

 

Check out the BEA announcement on October 26, 2012. The BEA reported 2% growth. They revised it up at the end of the following quarters ,,, all the way through the 2014 midterms, then dropped it to 0.5%. Fun to watch the handiwork of the most corrupt Administration in US history.

3.5% is lower than what was predicted and down from the previous quarter. Putting much stock in short term GDP numbers is somewhat of a fools errand. Obama had quarters that were well above 4% - while reducing the deficit.

Trump pumped 600 Billion in credit card spending in the first half of the fiscal year - 300 Billion dollar increase on in relation to the past 3 years.

I would hope that this would do something - The problem is that this is short term gain for long term pain.

 

Trump made the promise in December, 2016
In the Las Vegas debate.
Not in 2017. You have egg all over your face.

 

This will just trigger the leftist and no one will have a happy weekend now!

See I told you so

Thing were so much calmer when we were at 1.6 and a steady stream of extended flow of Mr. Obatard welfare bucks!

 

Oh well, he didn't use the word "promise" but we all know what he meant. In the same sense, Obama also didn't "promise" that you can keep your doctor if you like him.

 

Duplicate.

 

That's sort of like "Heard what one wanted to hear" right?

 

Would it make you happier if it were to fall to Mr Obatards levels? If so, you could simply subscribe to the leftist "Heard what one wanted to hear" and live happily ever more

 

I get the impression that 1.6% is the new norm with the DNC, and anything above that is bad.. Damn if Mr. Obatard didn't get deep in to their heads

 

Alt-tab gets tricky sometimes LOLOL

 

You made his point

 

Obama inherited a recession from a republican president. He got us out of that recession.
Trump did not inherit a recession.

 

Wrong date. The promise was made in December 2016 at the Las Vegas debate. I destroyed his point.

 

Really? Just how did Mr. Obatard save the economy..

 

LMAO, you guys or alt-tab might want get together on this

 

Are you going to pretend l didn’t just tell you he got the US out of the recession?
