US GDP Growth Rate by Year

Those are not BLS figures, ya dumbass. Impeached Trump never had a quarter of real GDP growth exceed 3.5%

... you'll note my graph comes directly from the BLS website -- while your link goes to whothefuckknowswhere.com.

Choke on it, Fucktard.

Uh...do you know what you posted? Cuz it looks a lot like what Faun was posting and nothing like what you were posting. Weird, huh?

The numbers I posted were from the BEA. (link above.)

The numbers that fucktard posted from from the (according to internal emails) biased (against Trump) "BLS."

No they weren't, you lying piece of shit con. My graph came directly from the BEA.

You claimed Impeached Trump's average was 4.6% for 2018-2019.

The BEA shows GDP for those years as...

2018: 2.9%
2019: 2.3%

... so what kind of fucked up conservative fuzzy math makes that average out to 4.6%??

He added them together. In fuzzy math 2.3 plus 2.9 equals 4.6 not 4.9.

LOLOL

Even funnier.... he said to count only 2018 and 2019 -- but then later said he divides by 3

Imbecile, your initial brain-dead link went to multpl.com, not bea.gov. And your multpl.com link states GDP increased 4.0% in 2019. Now you post a link to bea.gov and it shows GDP grew at an annualized rate of 2.3% for 2019.

2.3% is not 4.0%. You just showed the forum you're one of the dumbest posters here.

Have to leave this place of wrath and tears Got to check on Trumps DOW,only off 947 implied open now

Never thought this could get so bad that i'd hope for another 900 point loss trump dow off 1747 guess the moron didn't ease our fears

talking to yourself again?

maybe if you'd say less stupid shit others would at least try talking to you.

Did the f-er ease your fears ?? Did he try??? Is it stupid shit to call this unqualified moron a disaster? When guys like you can see what a blight he is then maybe we can talk

Like I said earlier, these same people who truly believe this con man cares about them also thought Obama was a criminal. And maybe he was but he honestly did not come across as one. They may think it's an act but if they have the awareness to believe Obama was putting one over on them, how come they seem so clueless when it comes to Trump?

Lying ****. You keep repeating the same lies after they have been debunked.

You just combined numerous conversations involving numerous different threads and offered nothing to support what you claim in any of them, making it impossible to address the incoherent stream of angry BS you just spewed. Pick ONE and address it, hopefully it will involve the thread topic, which I just finished discussing the last few threads. Go back and read, breathe,, get your thoughts in order, and try again, snowflake.

It's easy to address ... you lied, claiming Obama waited until millions of Americans were infected with H1N1 and 1000 died before he finally declared it an emergency.

Thats's a lie. That virus started spreading in April, 2009. That same month, before it became a pandemic, Obama declared it an emergency...

U.S. Declares Public Health Emergency Over Swine Flu

April 26, 2009

Responding to what some health officials feared could be the leading edge of a global pandemic emerging from Mexico, American health officials declared a public health emergency on Sunday as 20 cases of swine flu were confirmed in this country, including eight in New York City.​

Like I always say, if conservatives didn't lie, they'd have absolutely nothing to say.

Might want to comprehend what you posted, Faun. "American Health Officials" are not Obama.
Obama declared it in Oct. of that year.

October 26, 2009 8:47 a.m. EDT
President Obama has declared a national emergency to deal with the "rapid increase in illness" from the H1N1 influenza virus.

"The 2009 H1N1 pandemic continues to evolve. The rates of illness continue to rise rapidly within many communities across the nation, and the potential exists for the pandemic to overburden health care resources in some localities," Obama said in a statement.

"Thus, in recognition of the continuing progression of the pandemic, and in further preparation as a nation, we are taking additional steps to facilitate our response."

The president signed the declaration late Friday and announced it Saturday.

I do believe you owe easyt65 an apology. But, that would take a stand up guy to admit to it.

We need to be comparing apples and oranges here.

Easyt65 is referring to Trump “acting” when he declared a public health emergency. That’s exactly what the HHS did for H1N1 extremely early on, when there was only a few dozen cases. These are equivalent.

What you’re referencing is Obama declaring a national emergency in October. That is a step that Trump has yet to take.

OP has it all wrong but that figures. He acted right away.

My suggestion would be to tell Dear Leader to shut his orange pie-hole and let the health experts handle this.

Pathetic losers relish in the loss of others / the US's decline....which is why snowflakes are cheering on the virus and negative impact on the US. Thank God you are not or President, as the President is supposed to remain calm during emergencies, to provide reassurance to the people to prevent such panics as we have seen the MSM do their best to instill.

It reminds me how snowflakes lost their damn minds because Bush did not jump up and run out of the classroom screaming, frightening little children and the country on 9/11/01.

We're just saying we told you so.

Trump abruptly announced his 30-day ban – rattling an already-shaken travel industry and creating new uncertainty among travelers in both the U.S. and Europe.

This is why Trump is partially responsible for the record drop in the stock market. He's not a good leader. We need leadership in a time like this. So when he has shitting numbers in 2020 just like he had 2.3% growth in 2019, don't blame the coronavirus.

And now he might be contagious...

Brazilian president's press secretary tests positive for coronavirus, days after meeting Trum andp

And he STILL hasn't been tested AFAWK.

Still no test kits

You're right doctor's certainly don't have it and call you health department and they say your doctor will test or urgent care and none have the test.

larifications after Trump’s Oval Office address are emblematic of his uneven coronavirus response
The unforced errors in President Trump’s address to the nation on Wednesday night captured in miniature his uneven, muddled and often confused response to the novel coronavirus pandemic.

This was not some off-the-cuff riff as Trump prepared to board Marine One. It was a formal speech, read from a teleprompter, in prime time. Networks cut into regularly scheduled programming at 9 p.m. Eastern so that the American people could hear directly from their commander in chief about what is perhaps the gravest crisis of his tenure. It was only the second time during his three years in office that Trump requested the opportunity to address the country this way. Yet he still could not manage to get the basic facts straight.

The president opened with huge news: The United States “will be suspending all travel from Europe to the United States for the next 30 days,” with the exception of the United Kingdom, starting at midnight on Friday. “These prohibitions will not only apply to the tremendous amount of trade and cargo but various other things as we get approval,” he said. “Anything coming from Europe to the United States is what we are discussing.”

But the text of the order released by the White House stated that the ban would not include cargo. The president later tweeted a correction to the speech. “Trade will in no way be affected,” he wrote. “The restriction stops people not goods.”

Ken Cuccinelli, the acting deputy secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, tweeted after the speech that the restrictions announced by Trump do not actually apply “to American citizens or legal permanent residents or their families.” The president had not said his restrictions would apply only to foreign nationals. In fact, much of the community transmission of coronavirus in the United States has been linked to U.S. travelers who visited foreign countries or who contracted the disease at gatherings in the United States.

Trump also declared in his televised address that health insurance companies “have agreed to waive all co-payments for coronavirus treatments.” AHIP, the trade association for insurers, clarified that the companies have agreed to cover testing, not treatment. There’s a huge difference: Treatment will be much more costly for people infected with the virus than the underlying test.

None of these three clarifications inspire confidence that the president is fully in command of the crisis. The speech certainly didn’t calm the markets: The Dow Jones industrial average plunged nearly 1,700 points at the open this morning – a day after shedding nearly 1,500 points to fall into a bear market, which marks a 20-percent drop from its all-time high.

What did we expect when making a game show host president ? Perhaps giving the wealthy tax breaks was a reason?

You're right doctor's certainly don't have it and call you health department and they say your doctor will test or urgent care and none have the test.

The latest DD - They are sending out test kits without the chemicals to actually complete the tests.

CA Governor Newsom compared it to receiving printers with no ink.

We could have been ON this back in December when the World Health Org offered complete test kits.

But per usual - Donnie's pride, hubris and ego made him say no - And here we are.

Trump Twiddles His Thumbs With Economy In A Tailspin
The fact that the Trump administration and the Republicans have not come out with a clear plan is an “outright cruelty,” said one economist.

Economists warn that if policymakers don’t move quickly, the damage could be painful. Yet so far, the White House and congressional Republicans haven’t released any actual policy proposals.

Yet the policy response from the White House has been almost nonexistent. In his Oval Office speech Wednesday night, President Donald Trump spoke vaguely about paid leave, financing for coronavirus-related health care and policies to shore up small businesses. Trump has repeatedly criticized Federal Reserve chair, Jerome Powell, and is pushing for more rate cuts. Trump has also been pushing hard for a cut to payroll taxes in response to the outbreak. Such a tax cut would increase working Americans’ paychecks by a small percentage and would do little to offset the economic pain of a pandemic.

“The payroll cut is better than nothing, but we can do a lot better,” said Furman, who helped design a similar tax cut during the Obama administration. For starters, it would only help those Americans who are still employed. It would take too long before working people would feel its impact, as it would mean just slightly higher earnings. And the cut would give a bigger boost to those who earn bigger paychecks. “It drips out,” he said. “it’s too much money for people who don’t need it. And too little for people who really do need it.”

Even conservative economists say it’s not a good solution.

“The fact that the Trump administration and the Republicans have not come out with a clear plan is an outrage,” said Claudia Sahm, director of macroeconomic policy at the Washington Center for Equitable Growth. “It is an outright cruelty.”

Sahm said that without fast and bold actions, the coronavirus will spread faster and hurt more people. And the economic blows would be significant.

You know what? As a Democrat I am actually happy this is happening now to Trump. If a few thousand have to die and if I have to take a hit on my 401K, so be it. Yes, I'm rooting for the Coronavirus. In fact if it ran against Trump I'd vote for it.
