Economic Growth Slowing Under Trump

[candycorn]

"The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, citing fallout Trump’s immigration and trade policies, downgraded its forecast for U.S. economic growth this year to 1.4% from the 1.9% it had previously expected and from 2.5% in 2024. "

The deportations are causing a lot of wage stress as fewer persons are available for cheap labor. Industries are simply letting the jobs go unfilled instead of the double whammy of paying more to import products/raw materials AND paying more money to do largely unskilled jobs. Its almost as if the guy who bankrupted six companies and shuttered 3X as many more doesn't have a clue of what he is doing.

Maybe slowing with Schumer shutdown.

Last measure I saw was 3.8% for last quarter. That was superlative, considering judicial and political non-stop opposition (harrassment).

FORECAST noun​

fore·cast ˈfȯr-ˌkast

a prophecy, estimate, or prediction of a future happening or condition

Last month, immigration authorities raided a Hyundai battery plant in Georgia, detained 300 South Korean workers and showed video of some of them shackled in chains. They’d been working to get the plant up and running, bringing expertise in battery technology and Hyundai procedures that local American workers didn’t have.

The incident enraged the South Koreans and ran counter to Trump’s push to lure foreign manufacturers to invest in America. South Korean President Lee Jae Myung warned that the country’s other companies might be reluctant about betting on America if their workers couldn’t get visas promptly and risked getting detained.

It's Terrible you are struggling so much. Trump has never filed personal bankruptcy and as you know corporations are not stockholders' fault ever.

The Associated Press? The Congressional Budget Office?

Well,...if someone named "Mack the Finger" says so.... LOL

 

[Concerned American]

The Congressional Budget Office?

The one that is shut down and has been for 16 days now? That CBO?

Here is another example of how the fruitcakes roll...taking things out of context:

candycorn used this : The Congressional Budget Office / forecasted...to portray LIB spin as gosphel.

To make it easy on the LIBs...I gave them the definition of forcast so they would realize the OP contains and is based information on events that have not happen yet.

As for The Associated Press...they have been caught spreading fake news, spining news, down playing news or just not reporting it as much as Carter got liver pills.

candycorn...you are in need of Stage 4 TDC MEDs.

Hmmm.... I can trust the Associated Press reporting of the CBO or I can trust the guy who can't spell "forecast" correctly.

Tough choice but I think I'll go with the AP and CBO.

Yes, second quarter growth was better than initially estimated
, with the U.S. economy expanding at an annual rate of 3.8%, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. This is an increase from earlier estimates of 3.3% and reflects stronger consumer spending, even though residential investment fell sharply.

I don't trust the AP. I trust my bank account. For four years of Biden, it barely held even. It has been increasing nicely every month for the last six months and my costs have been trending down. I KNOW what I can see.

That is pretty childish, hollow and petty !

The AP is making gazillions spreading fake news and the fruitcakes are OK with because 90% (IMHO) is pro-agenda.

I don't trust the AP.

Paranoia will destroy-ya. It, sometimes, reports news that I don't want to hear either. Truth is funny that way.
