Economic Growth Has Reached 3 Percent for the First Time in More than a Decade Thanks to President Donald J. Trump’s Policies

ACHIEVING 3 PERCENT GROWTH: For the first time in 13 years, the economy reached 3 percent growth in 2018.

• The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) has announced that GDP grew by 3.1 percent from the fourth quarter of 2017 to the fourth quarter of 2018.
• Bureau of Economic Analysis: “During 2018 (measured from the fourth quarter of 2017 to the fourth quarter of 2018), real GDP increased 3.1 percent.”
• This marked the fastest fourth quarter to fourth quarter growth since 2005.
• 2018 was the second year in a row that the economy exceeded market expectations.
• The impressive economic growth in 2018 was a strong improvement from the trend prior to when President Donald J. Trump took office.
• Had the pre-2017 trend continued, growth would have been only 2 percent in 2017 and 2018. Economic output was also $280 billion larger than it would have been.
• Growth matched the forecast of 3.1 percent predicted in the President’s 2018 Budget.
• The fourth quarter GDP growth last year far exceeded market expectations.

My comment: The economy is booming as the Left tries to say its not. 2020 is coming up. Will this economy give Trump the win? I think it will.

Democrats' Plan to Destroy the Jobs Boom
Real Clear Politics :: Democrats' Plan to Destroy the Jobs Boom | RealClearPolitics

If you're looking for work, this is the best job market in 50 years. The economy is soaring. But Democrats running for president are pitching plans that will destroy millions of jobs, doubling the number of people out of work.

Consider "Medicare for All." It could wipe out a staggering 2.5 million health insurance and health care jobs nationwide, causing the number of unemployed people in this country to jump by almost half. New research by Stanford University doctors in the Journal of the American Medical Association shows that Medicare for All will cause hospitals to lose a whopping $151 billion in payments the first year. Hospitals will be forced to eliminate as many as 1.5 million jobs overnight.......

.............Dems are also campaigning to wipe out jobs in the oil, gas and coal industries. It's a direct attack on Trump country. Mining and oil and gas extraction lost jobs big time during the last two years of the Obama administration, but Trump's policies are succeeding in gradually restoring them.......
