GDP misses on Q4

Four years of runaway inflation under Biden but yet, Democrats were doing everything to spin the bullshit. Yet, you’re telling me the economy was hot under Biden. Sure, I agree that it was hot for insurance, auto, energy, mortgage, and food industries. They made shit load of money at consumers’ expense because Obama was the actual president.
It wasn't 4 years of "runaway inflation". Inflation had returned to historic norms by the end of his administration.

The economy in 2024 was hotter than it is in 2025 by almost every statistical measure.
 
Remember democrats shut down the government and disrupted the economy lowering GDP
This is what I hate most about you Notsees. Such ******* hypocrites and liars.

In 2013, Donald Trump stated that government shutdowns are the responsibility of the president, arguing that such events reflect a "lack of leadership" and indicate that the president is "weak". He emphasized that the president must control their party and negotiate to keep the government open.

U.S. GDP grew just 1.4% last quarter, well below expectations of 2.5%.
 
GDP is was doing significantly better under Biden.

2024 was better on almost every metric but was considered a total disaster by the right.
You set the course the first two years of Joe. Your energy agendas set the tone for misery. Coming off of Covid and then messing with traditional energy sources. The great intellectual Progressive Socialist Communist Party. To watch many of the promoters of this meet justice is not good enough. You knew better. You said it. You are so much smarter. And then we got that.
 
Both parties disagreed, so there was a shutdown.
That is not it at all but continue to lie because that seems to be your only debating quality. The Republicans voted to end the shutdown, make sure people got their SNAP money, keep the economy moving, 15 times and on the 15th time it was approved without the Democrats getting anything they were demanding. The Democrats could have ended the shutdown anytime and not lost or gained anything.

Really dumb for democrats, so I understand why you want to change the narrative.
 
So you're mad that the shutdown harmed the GDP because of decreased government spending.
/----/ Marener's circular argument.

You keep waiting. Ain’t gonna happen. If magically the refund does happen, will you demand every company that raised the price to refund the consumers?
I thought companies ate the margin? That was the narrative. Did they pass it on or did companies pay it?
 
OK dems, I hope you are proud of yourselves.....You cost the country bigly in economic growth (at least a full 1%) with your ill-conceived shutdown and now you are into another.

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. economic growth slowed in the final three months of last year, dragged down by the six-week shutdown of the federal government and a pullback in consumer spending.

The nation’s gross domestic product — the total output of goods and services — increased at a 1.4% annual rate in the fourth quarter, the Commerce Department reported Friday, down from 4.4% in the July-September quarter and 3.8% in the quarter before that.

The figures point to what could be a more modest pace of growth in the coming quarters, as consumers have taken on more debt and saved less to maintain their spending, a process that may be difficult to sustain. Business investment, other than data centers and equipment dedicated to artificial intelligence, grew at only a moderate pace.

Still, a measure of underlying growth that focuses on consumer and business spending was mostly healthy at 2.4%, economists said. The sharp slowdown in government outlays because of the shutdown shaved a full percentage point from growth.

I love it how you are going to blame us for Trump's lousy economy.

Next you're going to blame Canadians who are boycotting us.

Or every country who used to buy from us who now buy from China because Trump is worse than China. Can you believe it? Trump is running other countries into China's arms.

Trump told us to not buy 37 dolls or pencils. He warned us to only buy 2 dolls and 2 pencils. We did what he said. Now you are blaming us?

Between 2011 and 2013, Donald Trump repeatedly stated that government shutdowns are the president's responsibility, arguing that a shutdown indicates a lack of leadership and a weak president. He claimed the president must "get everyone in a room" to make a deal.
 

Let's ask AI

As of February 2026, President Trump's approval rating for his handling of the economy has fallen to around 34%, with a significant portion of Americans expressing frustration over the cost of living and inflation

Recent polling indicates that 57% of Americans disapprove of his handling of the economy.

Democrats shut down the government disrupting travel and stopping trillions of wages. That reduces GDP. Thats why they did it and they did it again. Its not about Medical Insurance or ICE. They are sabotaging Trumps economy.

Your BS isn't working. I can't wait till the midterms. Are we going to have a Civil war or will you guys lose gracefully? You gonna cheat? Then stop sending Tulsi Gabbard to Georgia. Looks like you guys are going to try to steal Georgia this year. Stop it.

The midterms will depend on the economy. Democrats cant keep shutting down the government. Then we have the Minn fraud scandal. NY is a mess and democrats will own that. Dont be so sure

That and the vile dems act more retarded with each passing day.

 
Just 1.3% and and inflation is up again at 3%.

There is debat over whether it was from the shutdown or from larger issues.

I tend to think it';s larger issues but the trump supporters here will disagree.
