Donald Trump created a bogus economy ... U.S. Growth Slowest Since 2016, Complicating Trump’s pitch

[RealDave]

Yeah, but at least he exploded the deficit and watched as the Fed had to pour hundreds of billions of dollars into markets to keep them afloat.

So there's that.

I am with you on the deficit and the debt.

He should fire 50% of federal workers and cut the entire budget in half. 50 cents on the dollar across the board.

and plunge us into depression.

 

[RealDave]

It's very arguable that the spike in 2017 through to early 2018 was a continuation of Obama's economy.

Trump even achieved a low of 1.1% in q3 2018.

Everything about Trump is bogus. He inherited his wealth and supplemented it with Russian mob money when he faced bankruptcy.

Trump inherited a healthy growing economy from Obama and expert economic consensus is that Trump will cause a recession.

The only thing growing under Trump's dead hand is the government debt which is growing at record rates. It's 'yooj' and burgeoning as debt growth is > 2.5 x GDP growth. This is unsustainable and Donald Trump's bogus casino economy is headed for a bust.

The government’s latest economic scorecard arrived on Thursday, offering fresh evidence that the economy continues to grow, but at a frustratingly slow pace.

As the nation heads toward a presidential election, the question is whether voters will view steady but unspectacular growth as a sign that President Trump’s handling of the economy has succeeded or stumbled.

Gross domestic product, which measures the value of goods and services produced inside the United States, grew at a 2.1 percent annual rate between October and December, the same as the previous three months, according to preliminary data released by the Commerce Department. As for 2019 as a whole, the report shows that the economy turned in a weaker annual showing than it did in 2017 and 2018.

In previous decades, growth that consistently fell below 3 percent would have been seen as distressing. Now most economists — at least those outside the administration — see normal growth circling the 2 percent mark.

Household income up $5k, unemployment at record lows, yeah, it's just horrible....

Sent from my SM-T587P using Tapatalk

Up $5k from when?

 

[ColonelAngus]

Yeah, but at least he exploded the deficit and watched as the Fed had to pour hundreds of billions of dollars into markets to keep them afloat.

So there's that.

I am with you on the deficit and the debt.

He should fire 50% of federal workers and cut the entire budget in half. 50 cents on the dollar across the board.

and plunge us into depression.

You libs love to spend.

Under Obama you assfucks had fits about GDP growth like we had in 2019. Now you assfucks think it is great. How fucking pathetic are you? Trump says the economy id great & you ignore the statistics.

Trumpettes always blame someone else for their Party's fauilure.

ALWAYS Republicans, the party of borrow & spend.

So, the Democrats in the Senate forced Republicans to agree with them & then forced Trump to sign the spending.

I mean your pouting orange assfuck never threatened a shut down or nothing. Nooooooooo. The Democrats decided & Republicans had nothing to do with it.

I guess running up the dent is no longer an important issue with Republicans anymore.

Just like when Bush put us on a path to economic disaster.

You were so happy with the few extra bucks from a tax cut that you didn't give a shit.

Do you always deflect, Fake Dave? Can't you just answer a fucking question without going down some rabbit trail?
Where did I say that it's great? You always do this, put words in peoples mouths and argue that point.
I don't know who's more childish you or Nan'

As far as the economy, I've been posting that we are in a mature bull market. Not sure how much more we can squeeze
out of it before a cyclical recession appears on the horizon. If you want to respond to that, feel free, but please don't respond
with something about the kansas City Chiefs, or something.....try and stay on topic.

Look, idiot, if we stop borrowing $1 trillion a year, that'll help with the debt.
If we spend the money wasted on DC paper-pushers, on useful things, that'll help the economy.
If people send fewer tax dollars to DC, that'll help the real economy.

s0n.......but you posted this in the wrong forum. This is the POLITICS forum which means the only thing that matters is what the public thinks! The public has never been more positive about the economy.......in about 50 years!! Except for the hyper-nutters, nobody thinks it has anything to do with Soetero. Far less than 1% of all voters are ever going to be exposed to the link you posted. That makes it politically irrelevant.

Again........at the end of the day, it is ALL about who is winning!
