The U.S. economy grew 2.9% in 2018

[McRocket]

'U.S. gross domestic product grew at a 2.6% annual rate in the final quarter of last year, bringing 2018’s annual growth to 2.9%, the Commerce Department said on Thursday.

Why it matters: That's just shy of the 3% growth the Trump administration has touted. The shutdown-delayed GDP report marks a deceleration from the 3.4% growth rate seen in the third quarter. The BEA estimates that the shutdown — which was mostly in January, rather than in the fourth quarter — "subtracted about 0.1 percentage point from real GDP growth in the fourth quarter."'

The U.S. economy grew 2.9% in 2018

And before you Trumpbots blame the sub-3% year on the government shutdown? Trump owned it...so it's 100% his responsibility.


'Real GDP increased 2.9 percent in 2018 (from the 2017 annual level to the 2018 annual level), compared with an increase of 2.2 percent in 2017'

So much for that 'booming' economy of 4% or 5% Real GDP growth Trump promised. So far, real GDP growth under Trump is only 2.55% (2017 & 2018 combined).

Winning?

Don't make me laugh.

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

3% is bad?

 

[deanrd]

3% is bad?

Republicans thought it was under Obama.

 

[deanrd]

Wow. 2.9%. And all it cost was a couple trillion dollars. How did that work out?

Why would you blame someone for a 3% growth?! What are you, nuts?

 

[Mac1958]

3% is bad?

Significantly less than what we were promised.

With a rapidly increasing deficit.

That's a bad combo right there.

[caddo kid]

Economy slows to 2.6% in fourth quarter, GDP shows, but it still shows lots of muscle

So, Trump blew nearly $2 TRILLION in 20 months to get 2.8% GDP?

Impressive

We did not get 3% growth. Trump and Obama are the only two presidents to not achieve 3% GDP growth for at least on CY.

Be sure and use extra lube while you’re wanking off over this news. I wouldn’t want you to chafe.

You're an idiot. He started from the bottom.

Q4 2018 was 2.6%; all that after Trump blew nearly $2 TRILLION in about 20 months

Trump 'promised' a constant 4% GDP with the real possibility for 5% & for 6%

It must be like that nuke deal Trump made with Kim un & NoKo

Yes Obama did. Trump started in a booming economy and still cannot do it

We don't agree on much, but i agree with you on this. The only thing that would make him happier, if the economy tanked.

 

[whitehall]

How can lefties get so hysterical over some numbers only two years into President Trump's administration when unemployment is at a historic low and the DOW hovers around 26,000? Barry Hussein never hit 3% GDP average in eight freaking years, unemployment was in double digits for Black men and the DOW was stagnant but crazy angry left didn't seem to mind.

Agreed.

Frankly, the second part is the thing that worries me the most.

Barack would have blown Michelle and Willie Brown for that growth rate

great to know that posters 2 & 3 don't have any issue with blowing so much DEBT for such a tiny pay off.

Smart folks, you are not.
