One of Wall Street’s most closely watched voices delivered a blunt message to peers and policymakers: The U.S. economy is not faltering—it is accelerating. Torsten Sløk, chief economist at Apollo Global Management, said forecasts of an imminent slowdown have been repeatedly wrong, and the economics profession should start grappling with its track record of misjudgments.

“The consensus has been wrong since January,” Sløk said in a note circulated to clients Wednesday morning, adding that the average of economists’ forecasts has said the U.S. economy would slow down for nine months running. “But the reality is that it has simply not happened … We in the economics profession need to look ourselves in the mirror.”


The dimwit sector of society has been influenced the leftwing media 'go-to' economists like Mark Zandi of Moody's who has been wrong on every s doom-and-gloom prediction he's made about the Trump economy. We heard over and over "Recession coming by July 4". or Zandi's "We are at the precipice of recession". or Nobel prize winner, leftwing Paul Krugman predicting a deep recession during Trump first term. The stock market has always told a different story. Trump's DJIA has set record after record in recent weeks.

Finally a true economist, Torsten Sløk, is telling the truth about what is happening. The economy is going the way it appears. Everything is roaring, and we are on the precipice of a huge economic boom. Just like Trump said. People, please believe in what you see and feel, and not what the leftwing media tells you to believe.

No they dont....

The Government is closed until further notice. Remember? Schumer shut it down. The numbers aren't coming from official Government BLS spokesperson.

Now the firms outside of the Government (which are more accurate) will publish numbers....but those have to be paid for. They aren't free.
 
LOL....I went to vote this morning and some vile dem tried to talk to me.....I asked him, "how's that Schumer Shutdown working out for ya?"

Whoo! If looks could kill I'd not be typing thing this!
Yeah, as government spending decreases the economy heats up more and more. GDP increases but very slowly. Currently it's missing 15 billion/month.

Govt layoffs skew the unemployment numbers, yet we know it's a good thing. So this whole jobs thing is a red herring. The economy is getting set to roar.
 
Okay but this is the same guy who said there was a 90% chance for a recession earlier this year ( Chief Economist at Apollo Global Management Torsten Sløk Says Probability of Recession has Surged to 90% ) and that there is an AI-bubble afoot that will be worse than the dot com bubble in July ( Apollo's chief economist warns the AI bubble is even worse than the 1999 dot-com bubble | Fortune ).
This makes his about face even more credible. He admitted he among others needs to look at himself in the mirror.

You're surrounded up there in NOtVA.
 
Hey guys. DJIA is heading for yet another record close today.

So people you fired don’t count towards employment numbers?

Cutting thousands of leftwing deep staters is a positive thing for the economy and the country. As the record stock market is bearing out.

Or you just believe the things you want to hear.

I mean, the guy did an about face. He was against Trump's policies. Now he sees they are working beyond all predictions. You just don't like his admission.

I don't care about his "admission". His opinion blows with the wind. Of course the US economy is treading water---it is the biggest in the world---it would take a lot to change its course and right now, we won't know until the SCOTUS rules on Trump's tariff powers how radical that course change might be.

You are either employed or you or not
That is how employment numbers are calculated
People Republicans fired are not employed
