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

[skookerasbil]

BTW.....I still see some meatheads talking about impeachment. Some obviously missed the memo.....impeachment is over. Its been over for weeks......since before Christmas in fact.

 

[skookerasbil]

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.

U.S. Growth at Slowest Since 2016, Complicating Trump’s Pitch

U.S. Growth at Slowest Since 2016, Complicating Trump’s Pitch
Boeing’s troubles, trade disruption and a tight job market held back growth last year, and a more subdued expansion appears to lie ahead.

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.

Trump inherited Obamas economy and took credit for the spike when he did nothing to make it happen. But his base is so full of racism they were more than glad to give trump credit so they could keep denigrating Obama. We can't afford 4 more years of trump. Literally.

But only people in California and New York and a couple of other places think that. Only matters what people think electorally!! Maybe 173 people think Trump inherited a good economy.

Also......there are still some who think people care about the popular vote. Nobody cares about the popular vote except for people on message boards.

Trump didn’t create the economy. Presidents don’t create economies even though they get credit when economies are good, and blame when economies are bad.

 

[healthmyths]

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.

Evidently you and many like you haven't done any research as I've done that took less than 10 minutes on the internet.
Question: How much of the "federal budget" does the President actually can CUT?
Answer: Mandatory spending is estimated to be $2.841 trillion for FY 2020. The two largest mandatory programs are Social Security and Medicare. That's 60% of all federal spending. It's almost three times more than the military budget.
The Mandatory Federal Programs That Are Eating the Budget Alive
Do dummies like you comprehend what mandatory spending of 60% means?
NO president can cut those two spending...only Congress can cut Medicare/SS.

Now let's talk about "military budget".
Overall spending on national security includes the Pentagon budget as well as spending by other agencies,
such as the Energy Department’s work on nuclear weapons.
Spending increased in 2010 and 2011, but it has fallen every year for four years since then by a cumulative 15 percent.
Other ways of looking at the question show declines as well.
National security spending made up 20.1 percent of the federal budget in 2010,
but in 2015 it was 15.9 percent.
Over the same period, spending fell from 4.6 percent of gross domestic product to 3.3 percent.
PolitiFact - PolitiFact Sheet: Military spending under Obama and Congress
So if under Obama military spending DECREASED because Obama hates the USA, then to bring our military back to
pre-Obama cuts... Trump has been spending more.
Results: Terrorism
Deaths from terrorism fell for the fourth consecutive year, after peaking in 2014. The decline in deaths corresponds with the military successes against ISIL and Boko Haram, with
the total number of deaths falling by 15.2 per cent between 2017 and 2018 to 15,952.
The largest fall occurred in Iraq, which recorded 3,217 fewer deaths from terrorism in 2018, a 75 per cent decrease from the prior year.
For the first time since 2003, Iraq is no longer the country most impacted by terrorism.

No, people will believe it because it’s true. Trump supporters will believe whatever they’re told to believe.

Trump should eliminate the FISA court and many government agencies, from the Department of Eduction to the EPA.

You badly need the Department of "Eduction".

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!

You contend losers are winning? The Trump howling mob are the bottom of the socioeconomic ladder. They are only benefiting from the pressure to raise minimum wages.

Trump is hoping for another huge tax cut.

Forget the debt.

If he could pump more credit card money into the economy, he could win before it all comes crashing down.

U.S. created 501,000 fewer jobs since 2018 than previously reported, new figures show

Remember the trillions in Bush/GOP tax cuts?

If Bush had managed to hold on to the fake economy 6 more months, Obama never would have been elected.

Boeing’s troubles, trade disruption and a tight job market held back growth last year, and a more subdued expansion appears to lie ahead.

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.

Trump inherited Obamas economy and took credit for the spike when he did nothing to make it happen. But his base is so full of racism they were more than glad to give trump credit so they could keep denigrating Obama. We can't afford 4 more years of trump. Literally.

You evidently DON"T know how this economy was really thwarted by Obama's statements and policies.
I'm not asking you to believe me. Believe Obama's words and policies.
You see that's where people like you and me differ. I use the words of Obama and you use your own subjective opinion.
If you were really honest, you would recognize that Obama didn't like America as Trump does. Maybe that's because Obama
as a black man continued to hate White people as his Father who was a South African terrorist hated white men and who's
Father supported Mandela’s wife during much of that time, fellow ANC revolutionary Winnie, was a zealous and open advocate for one of the most brutal murder tactics ever conceived by man. Pioneered by the ANC, so-called “necklacing”
So it is understandable why Obama was so anti-American as this meme shows.

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.

But only people in California and New York and a couple of other places think that. Only matters what people think electorally!! Maybe 173 people think Trump inherited a good economy.

Also......there are still some who think people care about the popular vote. Nobody cares about the popular vote except for people on message boards.

The facts show that trump inherited a strong economy. Experts have proven it. Only in fact free trump fucktard world do they think different. In 50 out of 55 presidential elections the popular vote won. So trump is president by fluke. And if Hillary had won that way and you retards had found she was having meetings with Russians, Tim Kaine would be president of the United States right now.

The facts show that trump inherited a strong economy.

Real GDP growth of 1.6% in 2016 was awesome!!!

What is GDP growth under Trump? Like 5% or something?

2017 +2.4%
2018 +2.9%
2019 +2.3% <<<<< still subject to revision

Trump inherited 7 years of job growth, 7 years of stock market growth, 7 year of declining unemployment, in fact full employment, so yes, he inherited a strong economy.

8 years of stupid over-regulation.
8 years of attacks on business.
8 years of attacks on fossil fuels.

....Federal spending makes up about 20% of the economy. You cut it in half and you put us into a Great Recession 2.0.

Why do you assume the money that is not spent - and thus, not taxed - will not flow into the economy through other means?
