So it turns out that 3% GDP number is something of a red herring

[theHawk]

The number is artificially high because imports fell sharply, and since imports a subtracted from GDP it makes the number look stronger than it really was. Overall growth is still slower than the previous two years.

So trump is still losing to Biden.

You know what was a red herring? When you all claimed Trump was gonna take us to a recession a month ago

Now you are forced to make excuses for our booming 3 percent gdp economy

Did Obama ever have this much growth?

the Epstein story ain't gonna end the way you hope it does ..

It's already beginning to fade from the news.
Don't get me wrong I'm as anxious as anyone else to see anyone responsible for the suffering of children...... And I mean anyone....... Prosecuted and brought to Justice. Don't care who it is.
However apparently there's more to this than meets the eye. One of the strongest objections I heard was that people who were guilty of nothing could have their entire lives ruined simply by being mentioned anywhere in any of those documents.

The American public has a notoriously short attention span and the next crisis du jour is about due to take over any day now.

I think more will be released .. but it may take time because of the reason you posted .. and I agree with you .. they are probably separating the innocent from the nefarious before realizing it ..

I see no need to feed your detachment from reality.

Are you attempting to be ironic again?

 

[Crepitus]

And consumption didn't. That means more American products.

You guys just don't know how anything works.

All the numbers are there in the link.

Read.

Educate yourself.

Unfortunately those imports also import debt.
Especially when they are done at the deficit that we've been maintaining for the past 25 years
The constant outflow of trade imbalance doesn't just go away but totals up in the composite national debt which for some reason our economists tend to ignore as the consequence of selling out the value of the nation in behalf of cheap goods.

The trade imbalance is completely inconsequential.

Tariffs on incoming goods hurts Americans, nobody else.

 

[Crepitus]

The only people who could have possibly lost to Biden are Kamala and Tampon Tim along with the up and commers in NYC and Minneapolis. The commie racist, Obama, sucked too. Today's Democrats are Marxist-Commies. They don't qualify to lead Americans.

That's a pretty desperate deflection, my rabid friend.

Are you OK?

 

[Crepitus]

I just went to check on the government web page which American trade with the world, and it's really hard to find now, and having seen it, it's easy to see why:

International Trade

www.census.gov

Your trade deficit is UP by 50%. Your EXPORTS are declining and your imports are increasing. The Trade War is backfiring - just like last time.

Wow, it went the opposite way from the "official" claims.

I saw the numbers.

+3% GDP.

Your turn.

 

[IM2]

Do you believe the useful idiots fell for hope and change and build back better?

Both of those presidents rebuilt this country after a Republican messed it up.

 

[Twisted Gypsy Child]

Well, then, no need for you to do anything different. A recession will come and save you politically.


Just relax and wait for the win.

The economy is doing GREAT says MAGA Trumpy humper
reduce the interest rates ?

 

[Twisted Gypsy Child]

Your turn.

why does Trumpy want to reduce the interest rates if this economy is so gosh darn great

FALSE!
Tariffs on incoming goods >>
1. Prevent tariffs on US exports
2. Brings tons of money into the US
3. Stops US firm from locating overseas (thus protecting US jobs)
4. Over time will bring many outsource companies back to the US, thereby increasing jobs for Americans here, and reducing unemployment.

Did you think this through before you posted it???

If imports are ALWAYS subtracted...wtf difference would it make if they were high or low?

They never count towards GDP.

In his last 2 years Obama's GDP's were a SINKING ship, with an abysmal 3 consecutive recessions.

Posted n the OP.

Which you ignored.

Because it is contra to your bias.

And that is not allowed in tRumplandia.
