Trump boom - 2.3% growth for 2017, slowest job growth in 6 years

[buckeye45_73]

Obama gave him a shit economy, moron.

Evidently not when Trump can't even match it

He already has.

Trump is chugging along on the same economy the Great Obama gave him

Wrong. The only thing Obama did is take credit for things he had nothing to do with.

The Great Obama stopped a depression and gave us eight years of prosperity

Trump is just surfing the Great Obama wave

No he's taking it to much higher reaches........Obama could have broken 3%, but he didn't want to for some reason, you lefties said 3% cant be done....it can........and will this year.

The economy grew at a 2.6 percent rate to end 2017, the Department of Commerce reported...For all of 2017, GDP growth was 2.3 percent

GDP growth slowed to 2.6 percent to end 2017


Dang! That Trump fella sure turned things around!

Make sure that you give back your tax breaks to the government, because if you spend any of it, you will help President Trumps economy ROAR along like a Ferrari. And like good commies that you are, you sure as hell don't want President Trump to look that good, right?
Bwaaaahhhhaaahhhhaaaaaa. Just tooo ******* funny about you libtards, you just cant win....

It’s pretty much impossible for Trump to look good. I thought he did a decent job in Davos. He did make too big a fool of himself, only got booed once and pretty much stuck to the script. With Dumb Donald it’s about the best you can hope for.

you know, now that you posted this, I really feel stupid for voting for Trump
you, obviously are the smarter person--you foresaw what would happen

I know you are all wrapped up in the feely touchy shit, but for me first and foremost this is about what is true and what is false.

The economy was already on the rebound before Obama was innaugurated.

You're full of shit, obviously.

REBOUND to where?

Obama's expansionary policies created significant growth in second half 2009 through 2014 and this rebound would not be anywhere as good without them.

We also didn't have a double dip and Obama was the first president in a very long time to not hand off a recessionary economy to his successor.

Look at the chart, dumbass. Government spending never caused the economy to grow, and it never will.

Ignorant bullshit from a two bit politico.

As ANY economist will tell you, government’s fiscal and monetary policy ABSOLUTELY effects economic activity GDP measures.

For example It is right about impossible to spend 870 Billion into economy (especially recessionary economy) and not see significant near term GDP growth.

But somehow Obama did that.

the devastating effects of communism and socialism do not go away overnight.

It is a process.

By the end of it, Trump will be remembered as the greatest president since Reagan.

The thing is------->Obama handed Trump an economy bumping along in 2016 of 1.6%. Obama had put in his crap for the 1st quarter of 2017. It took a while for Trump to DUMP the Obama economy, and now we are good!

Trump is NOT going to hit 5, 6, or 7%, and if he does, it would probably NOT be good for the economy in the long run. But, if his policies keep unemployment low, while causing business investment, while corporations bring money back, AND we can do between 3 and 4%, we are in the sweet spot!

Wait a minute, you guys whined like little bitches because Obama never got over 3% GDP Growth in any given year, and now you are whining that it's okay if Trump doesn't hit 3%?

I can't wait for the excuses when the economy DOES go into recession.

How far down your asshole did you have to reach to pull out such rediculous fantasy?

Tell me, where do you THINK 870 Billion could disappear to without showing up in GDP numbers? Or do you just thoughtlessly repeat what you heard some other rightwinger assert?

 

[Andylusion]

Home prices are getting more expensive. We all know what happened last time that happened, and the banks are hard at it again.

I'm sorry..... whose fault is that again? Did you left-wing democrats, when you had complete control of the government, fix all the bank problems with more and more regulations?

We have the most regulated banking system in the world. Even more regulated than the EU, the UK, and Canada by far.

If you are telling me the banks are "at it again", maybe you need to re-examine your 'regulations solve everything' theory of governance.

$870 billion spent had to be taken from someone. You don't raise the water level in a bath tub by scooping up water at one end and pouring it in at the other end.

3/4 of that year are under Obama's budget and Obama's tax laws. So where do you get off pinning the blame on Trump?

 

[Manonthestreet]

IMF raises global growth forecast, sees Trump tax boost

 

[postman]

Because Trump said it was Obama regulations that was holding back on job growth. And Trump signed a bunch of EO's repealing Obama regulations. The one's holding back on job growth.

So where is the job growth?

Trump doesn't get the blame for the first two quarters before he did a thing that could possibly have an economic effect, moron. He spent most of that time trying to get his appointments approved by obstructionist Democrats.

What he got was a lot of UNDUE CREDIT while doing jack shit.

2017 was Obama economy.

It's already been established that 2.3% is the Obama economy. Over 3% is the Trump economy.

We will see if that happens, hell it just may for a short time.

 

[postman]

Why did Trump start taking credit for the DOW on election day? When it's been on a steady rise since 2009.

 

[Aldo Raine]

Don't really care who you give credit for 3 point more or less growth, what I see is that the super rich own & control more & more of everything, while the majority of the population is treading water or slipping back.

And this is the biggest problem in the country. Not taxes so much as stagnant wages for the working class. The uber wealthy gett more and more while the working class gets less and less.

Such PROG desperation.

The regulation rollbacks and tax cuts were not in place from Day 1 of Trump's presidency.

Government fiscal and monetary policies always decreases GDP growth because they divert money from where it will be used the most productively to where it helps politicians get reelected.

Taxing or borrowing $870 billion from the economy and then spending it on getting politicians reelected only helps the politicians.

You can blame all the new "immigrants" for that, and you promote more immigration. You lament is fundamentally hypocritical.
