U.S. economy slows sharply to 2% annualized rate in third quarter

Please, inflation is not helping the economy. And the so called growth is inflation.

 

What tremendous job? His pre-covid years were mediocre. He lied he had covid under control and let it all fall apart under his watch. We all know he watched hours and hours of tv during office hours and played massive amounts of golf and made the taxpayer pay for it.

 

5.0% average over 3 quarters is slow.....?

 

Dang, you were living under a rock when economists were saying the great economy was due to Trump policies.

 

What is it about recovery you don’t understand? That happens naturally but Biden’s policies slow it down.

 

Well, if 5.0% growth is no good then Trump must have done much better.

But he didn't. His average over 4 yrs is around 1.0%

I haven't said anything about Biden, or his policies. As a matter of fact I said it was expected after the disaster of 2020. Everything is about presidents to you, but not to me. You idolize persons.

 

After becoming energy independent under Trump and the worlds largest energy producer we now have Biden begging OPEC to produce more oil.

Liberal success 101.

 

Context evades you but to be expected since you idolize Biden.

 

I'm just going along with your righties about it all.
First the masks being bs and now this.
It all should sound familiar.[/QUOTE]

So what? Trump is history Bro, you really need to move on and get current... I know it's painful but you really need to live in the NOW!!!

 

Biden is a moron, perfect match for the DNC

 

Total distortion. Half the country (or more was shutdown or severally limited) in Trump's last year. As opposed to Biden jumping on the rebound wave Trump engineered.
For example, Trump's last unemployment and payroll employment numbers exceeded what Obama/Biden accomplished through almost six years of THEIR recovery.
Or look at the stock market, which effects people's retirements and education savings:

LOL, Wow. You mean Biden is still riding Trump's surge while doing everything he can to destroy it.

 

And just think where we could have been if the unvaccinated didn't accelerate the spread of the Delta variant

 

Well, when ONE of those four years is a complete shut down (which Trump argued against) it's no surprise. Nice try at obfuscating the truth behind a Pro FauxJoe cloud.

 

That is an excellent question that you should be asking your comrades trying to ascribe this to Biden…

GDP growth is impacted by thousands of variables — many of which not directly influenced by POTUS

 

The difference minus 3.7 and a plus 2,... is not remotely close to what Donald managed to do before covid. That is more succes Donald has ever had as a 1 term president.

 

Biden is still beating trump even if you delete the entire last 1.5 years of his presidency which is why I said:

I would say nice try but that was pathetically weak and kinda sad

 

Most of these ubber wealthy people are in technology. Don't use facebook and don't belong to Amazon prime. The only ones who may be able to pass it along are the Waltons but if they lose their competitive price advantage, I will just shop elsewhere.

 

I think I'd avoid that too

 

Well played Sir

 

Predicting 7 and getting 2.

 

Well that was ridiculous

 

Well, not really, look at the numbers for late Spring early Summer before the Delta variant emerged as the dominate strain

 

we sure are a long ways away from 15 going on zero

but more and more are getting their vaccines, so maybe soon

 

Considering we have well over 100 MILLION working age Americans voluntarily out of the workforce and as far as we can tell having no source of income, I am shocked that our GDP is as high as 2%. How can these deadbeats be in any way be contributing to our economy if they have no income???

 

Recovery? The pandemic aint over. Biden inherited a total mess. Donald didn't even have a plan how to vaccinate people. lol
