Sorry Trumpers ... This Measure Says Growth Is Slower Under Trump Than Obama

Does a booming economy make Trump unbeatable?
Does a booming economy make Trump unbeatable?

 

[jknowgood]

You're blind if you don't see it. 5 years ago I wouldn't of been able to buy the land I did this year. Believe me, this economy is way better now then when Obama was in office. It was stagnant then.

Again, your stories do not sway me, for all I know you are 22 year old kid living in your families basement.

Data and facts...that is all I want to see on this forum...not stories.

I'm in construction, I barely made it by under Obama. Now it's booming, and I'll be 50 next year.

You were too busy earning a living to make money. Work smart not hard.

Oh no, there was hardly any work under Obama's economy. I mean he did ask where Trump's magic wand was, he also told us slow growth was the new norm in America. So are you saying Obama was lying again?

Not sure what you build, but new housing starts has been going up for almost 10 years, and is leveling off under Trump

View attachment 296108

Not here, subdivisions that were put on hold under Obama are being finished out as we speak and new ones are being built as we speak. Don't worry, Trump will be YOUR president till 2024.

 

[Blaine Sweeter]

It's the democrat tactic. Repeat a lie often enough and people will believe it. They have been saying they were going to lie about the economy since summer.

Which part of this is a lie?

View attachment 296081

All of it. You can get a chart or statistic to say any thing. Democrats have been lying about the economy for months. You will continue to lie about the economy because that is all you have.

Who specifically has been lying about the economy? If it wasn't for vague generalizations, many of you here would be unable to post anything.

The factual complaint about the economy is that a worker who makes the federal minimum wage of $7.25 and works a 40 hour week (after taxes, approximately $950-1000/month) can't afford housing after paying for food and a car. 3/4 of the people in this country are stuck with low-paying jobs since they do not have a college degree. So they get second and third jobs to get by and live paycheck to paycheck.

That's not a great economy.

That's the facts, and you right wing cockroaches don't want to acknowledge them.

 

[Deplorable Yankee]

Sorry to burst the cloud over your mind Trumpers. Your delusions are precious to you but I have to prick that orange bubble that has you howling with joy at Trump rallies as lies fall faster from Trump's mouth than Autumn leaves.

Sorry darlings, "According to BEA data, GDI has grown at a 2.3% annualized pace since Trump took office, vs. 2.4% during Obama’s two terms."

Apologies for pricking your orange bubble. Donald Trump is bloating the economy with tax cuts for the rich and burgeoning debt but still can't beat Obama.

Donald Trump has rendered the economy obese and debt-ridden with debt rising faster at >2 x GDP growth.

This Measure Says Growth Is Slower Under Trump Than Obama

Gross domestic income should in theory track GDP, but it tells a slightly different story.

ILLUSTRATION: GEORGE WYLESOL FOR BLOOMBERG BUSINESSWEEK

The economy has been perhaps the brightest spot of Donald Trump’s unconventional presidency. A recession would tarnish this, which is presumably why he gets so worked up about perceived missteps by the Federal Reserve. But by one measure, economic growth is already slower during the Trump era than during Barack Obama’s eight years as president.
That measure is gross domestic income. GDI is part of the same quarterly national economic accounting by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Economic Analysis that gives us gross domestic product but is released a month later. The two numbers should, in theory, be identical, but they never quite are because of the vagaries of real-world data. In a 2010 paper, economist Jeremy Nalewaik—then at the Fed, now at Morgan Stanley—made the case that “GDI better reflects the business cycle fluctuations in true output growth.”

publishing the average of GDP and GDI. Also, the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia now calculates a statistically smoothed melding of GDP and GDI, devised in part by Nalewaik, that it calls GDPplus. The presidential growth rates admittedly depend a lot on the starting quarter one chooses, especially for Obama, who took office amid the worst recession in 75 years. Also, while growth rates have been about the same or only moderately higher under Trump, people aren’t wrong to think the economy is better. More are sharing in growth now because the long expansion has brought workers off the sidelines.

• Timing Is Everything

If you measure from the quarter before they took office, Trump leads in GDI growth, 2.5% to 2.1%. Measure from the last quarter of the first year in office (because it takes time for policies to have an effect), and it’s Trump 2.5% to Obama 2.4%.



• Smooth Calculator
According to BEA data, GDI has grown at a 2.3% annualized pace since Trump took office, vs. 2.4% during Obama’s two terms.

• On the Job
Payroll employment has grown at a 1.5%annual pace during Trump’s time in office, faster than the 1% during Obama’s entire presidency but slower than the 1.9% of Obama’s second term.
Real annualized growth rate from first quarter of administration

Data: Bureau of Economic Analysis

• But Wait, It Gets Better
Of Americans age 25-54, 80% had jobs in August, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the highest prime-age employment rate in more than a decade and perhaps a better measure of economic health than either GDP or GDI growth.

In general they dont care as long as they're pulling down steady pay and thier 401ks are through the roof

 

[Indeependent]

Are you on drugs?
Nassau County was dead for 8 years; the whole country was dead for 8 years.
My son-in-law actually travels to survey commercial property and the way you present your numbers is bullshit.
And I blame GW and Obama.

Yes, I have heard this same bullshit story before. And that is all it is, just a story. If you cannot support it with data I do not believe it.

I realize you never get out into the real world and you moved to a city far away from civilization to avoid competition in order to get a job.
I can show you that the economy was very strong until one second before...the Great Depression, the DOM COM crash and the Housing crash; because rolled up numbers are bullshit.
It kills you that Trump is not an ex-military robot.

I work/live in a metro area of just under 3 million people. Not sure what the fuck you are talking about.

If you live in a "metropolis" that isn't booming then your definition of a metropolis is warped.
Business is booming everywhere and my son-in-law is constantly travelling to survey properties.

And thus is the problem with personal anecdotes...you think your tiny piece of the world is the whole world.

If you live in a "metropolis" that isn't booming then your definition of a metropolis is warped.
Business is booming everywhere and my son-in-law is constantly travelling to survey properties.

I told you I'm going by what I see, not your crappy little charts. Love the ones that showed Hillary would win in a landslide. I also saw through those by what I saw. I was also right.

You are comparing apples to oranges. But you know this, at least you are honest enough to admit you will never let anything alter your view.

Well if the economy really slowed down, I would be the first to admit it. For three years the media and democrats have tried to destroy Trump. While they worship Obama. There was no praise for a great economy under Obama. If there was great things happening in the economy we would've heard about it 24/7. Obama told us a slow growth rate was the new norm and that manufacturing jobs were gone for good. Then Trump came a long and it's reported that the economy is going to crash. When it doesn't and great things start happening in the economy and liberals cannot make Trump look bad. All a sudden it's Obama's economy and Trump did nothing. Get Obama's rod out of your mouth. Trump did away with Obama's regulations and gave tax cuts, also made doing business in America easier. Obama was against all of that. So your charts mean nothing.
