3.7 GDP Growth

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

If that were true, then Tramp would have $0.00 for his wall. In fact he is diverting money that Congress spent on other things, so Tramp has the final say on spending!!!

/——/ The President doesn’t create the budget. Congress does.

/— —/ The President isn’t responsible at all for how our tax dollars are spent?

/——-/ Nope. Only Congress has the authority to create and manage the budget. There is an old saying in Washington. The President supposes, but Congress imposes.

I assume we can find lots of post from you defending Obama when people say he added 9 trillion dollars to the debt...right?

/——-/ I did. I also defended Bush, Clinton, GHWB, and Reagan. I’m a Baby Boomer and when I was in High School, they taught Civics. It’s something they stopped doing sometime in the late 70s.

Maybe in your backwoods school district, but I taught it from 1996-2018. The problem is that no one thinks it is important so they do not remember any of it.

Government spending is what is growing the GDP.

...and the deficit.

We are living on a credit card.

I am sort shocked at how powerless and useless you find the office of the president.

But when Obama was in there, he was Hitler.
Silly, silly, silly stuff.
.

Obama did many times over what the Dimocrats are trying to impeach Trump for.

Soliciting dirt on political opponents from foreign leaders, running guns to Mexican drug cartels, bypassing Congress with Executive Orders, interfering with foreign elections, not handing over requested documents to Congress, etc, etc, etc.

Trumps 'problem' is that he likes this rough and tumble. As to where Obama would buck the GOP Congress with a smile and a pat on the back, Trump snarls and says 'Fuck You!"

Trump realizes that the more he goads the Political Establishment and the more they take the bait he gains by:
1) Making himself look like a martyr to his base and the GOP rank and file. (They aint the same thing).
2) He diverts attention from the real action he wants them to stay away from and not shed light on.
3) He goads them to impeach them and then he plans to use it to beat Dimocrats in districts he carried in 2016.
4) He is more able to say to foreign politicians 'Dont listen to all the whining from the press, they side with my political opponents, but I am still here.'
5) He knows that most Americans realize much of our media is now owned by foreign corporations and/or multinational corporations. This plays into his Nationalism narrative.

The problem he seems unaware of is that this is producing a 'scandal fatigue' that might cause many who would otherwise vote for him to stay home on election day.

So far the early votes in Louisiana seem to indicate that this has not yet begun, however.

/---/ And what are the democRAT candidates saying they will do about the trade imbalance?

Well, Trump has made our trade deficit with China the biggest it's ever been, so you have that going for you.

All a Democrat has to do is undo what Trump has done. Easy peasy!

/---/ Oh so your solution is to roll over a play dead and let China continue to rape us. Let them continue to steal our IP. Yeah sounds like a real defeatist plan. Why do you hate America so much? Oh, and Squaw Warren will be even tougher.

Sign TPP and then paint China into a corner...

You want to play Snap when the game is Chess...

But the Russians didn't want a strong America therefore the Orange Idiot is in charge...

Economy growing........Under TRUMP.....

Poor Liberals.............now go and say your daddy Obama did it. LOL

New evidence emerged last week showing how tariffs and the vast uncertainty surrounding the US-China trade war are hurting the economy.
The manufacturing sector suffered its worst month since June 2009. Services, the larger portion of the modern economy, grew at its weakest pace in three years.

And although the unemployment rate tumbled to a 50-year low, a remarkable feat, private payroll growth continues to slow

The outlook for the economy is dimming. The New York Federal Reserve's GDP growth forecasting model was downgraded on Friday to 1.3% for the fourth quarter, compared with an earlier forecast of 1.8%.

Trump has to go!!!

/---/ And what are the democRAT candidates saying they will do about the trade imbalance? Maybe Squaw Warren has a better solution.
Elizabeth Warren could be 'even tougher than Trump' on China, says analyst

• “The Chinese, they would like to wait out President Trump ... they may be miscalculating because if they get a President Elizabeth Warren, she’s probably going to be even tougher than Trump,” said Wayne Kaufman, chief market analyst at Phoenix Financial Services.
• Warren could bring up more issues — such as climate change — while negotiating with China, said Kaufman.
• That would add to the many sticking points currently which include China’s lack of intellectual property rights protection, making it harder for the U.S. and China to seal a deal.

Trade imbalances, while not great, are not the huge problem tRump has made them out to be.

BS...unless you are for China over the American worker................They have been screwing us for a long time without vasoline..........It's about time someone had the dang balls to challenge them...........

But Big Corps and people who only care about their stock profiles don't care about the average American worker who loses so those who don't produce a dang thing reap the rewards of Cheap Labor from places like China...........who's EPA regulations and labor standards are a complete joke................

Fair Trade.............and Free Trade is just a term that is not true.......There are tariffs all over the place and have been for quite a time now. When the playing field is balanced then Free Trade is fine and dandy..........when it's stacked against you like in China........its BS.

I'll take the side that pushes for Americans and jobs here over China and jobs there anyday................

And allow a Mickey Mouse Foreign Court decide our laws for us as never before................Allows Companies to sue in a Trade dispute a Country directly.................

To hell with that....................We don't need the TPP............we can negotiate directly country to country in a give and take negotiation as we have always done..............and get better results..........

The TPP is the globalists trying to gain more power against countries directly............and go to court against the U.S. directly trying to force us to change our laws here................NO THANKS........

No dumbass, he didn't.

We've had Republicans running the House for 6 years of his presidency and you bet your sweet cheeks he'd get impeached if he did half the shit Trump was up to.

And the numbers have been revised downward. Where's that 6% GDP growth Lyin' Donald was bragging about? Where's that decreased debt Lyin' Donald was bragging about?

Trump is the only president recorded to not have a quarter of real GDP growth to exceed 3.5%.

Is there any limit to how much you're willing to swallow?
