Trump's 4% GDP growth promise update

[Correll]

Trump uses hyperbole all the time.

Hyperbole is PC for LYING, and pathological lying scum POS Tramp claims he is NOT PC....

No, it is not.

Yes it is, and nobody knows it more than you.

You are lying about the meaning of, "hyperbolic", and "Political Correctness".


Ironically, you pretend to be so upset about lying. But in the process of making your case, you lie. Which shows that your pretend outrage, is just a lie too.

Hyperbole xaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally.


political correctness

1. the avoidance, often considered as taken to extremes, of forms of expression or action that are perceived to exclude, marginalize, or insult groups of people who are socially disadvantaged or discriminated against

Your claim that hyperbole is just PC for lying, is obviously a lie.


I'm not upset about this, and nothing in my previous post gave you reason to think I was. AGAIN, ironically, your pretense that I am, is another lie.

In other words, the cup isn't 2/3 full but 1/3 empty. It is amazing that you could post an OP like this and simply ignore all the important improvements we've seen in the economy under Trump: growth in manufacturing jobs that we haven't seen in 15-20 years, the lowest jobless claims in 50 years, record low black and Hispanic unemployment numbers, a substantial drop in the U-6 unemployment rate (it stayed over 10% for most of Obama's presidency), a 30-40% improvement in wages, etc., etc.

Because you expect to be taken seriously. and for the President to be considered a liar for his hyperbole.



And I can't tell when you libs are beig sarcastic. Too many of you are serious about the most bat shit crazy shit.



And this one? This issue? There is no way that you are unaware that millions of liberals seriously believe the shit about Trump "lying" 10,000 times, or such bull.

Why don't you????

4% is a big number for such a large economy. The fact he hit 3% is an achievement.

It's much easier to achieve if you cut down your expenses, which neither party seems willing to do.

His economy isn't doing nearly as well in GDP growith, in job creation, or in wage growth, as the Obama economy. Trump promised "jobs on steriods", and that's not happening. He promises workers a $4000 a year raise from the corporate tax cuts, and that's not happening.

You want to achieve growth, raise wages. There's a lot of pent up demand among working Americans and the middle class, but they lack the money to act on that demand. All of the sluggishness with growth can be tied directly to the fact that the working and middle class have had no real raises in income since 1980, and have seen their savings and equity eroded by inflation and recessions.

Not bad.... Don't agree with all of it but much of it is right on point.

The economy is rocking.

Donald Trump promised 4.0% GDP growth a year.

Updated - Trump-O-Meter: Grow the economy by 4 percent a year

In 2018, he fell short with 3.2% growth.

It's still early in 2019, so all we have is estimates of first quarter growth. In order for the economy to stay on track to 4% growth, Q1 must be at least /approximately 4%.


So far things don't look good at all. Economist Diane Swonk said yesterday that Q1 growth could be 1.5%:

GDP growth for the first quarter could slip below 1-1/2% if shutdown endures through the end of the week.

Diane Swonk on Twitter

It looks like Trump wildly exaggerated the results he could achieve.

You're using a post all the way back to the shutdown? Lol.

I have been reading some of the posts on this board from people who are economically illiterate.

It truly amazes me that most of them don't realize that the debt service on the debt is completely controlled by the Federal reserve.

During Obama's tenure even though I couldn't stand the guy I was quick to defend him on the finances and point out that the president is not the one who's completely in charge of the dollar value so it doesn't make any sense to blame him for a weak dollar.

What our liberal friends are failing to see and perhaps they fail on purpose, is that the groundwork being laid right now will produce the largest advance in the history of this nation in economic well-being when it all finally comes together.

I think Trump may have overestimated corporate benevolence. But that only means that the enormous economic surge will come a little later than he expected.

Don't be surprised to see 5% growth when this machine finally gears in. The potential is definitely there.

That is a lie.

Thus, your pretense that maybe you were just being hyperbolic, is revealed to be a lie, also.


You and yours are far more liars, than Trump is.


So, your pretense of being outraged by Trump's "lies" is revealed to be, wait for it, another lie.

How do you differentiate between lies and hyperbole?
Do you use anything other than party affiliation?

When Obama said “if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor”, was that a lie or hyperbole?

When Trump said his father was born in a little village in Germany, was that a lie or hyperbole?

Hyperbole is not expected to be believed.


If I tell you that I am the richest man in the world, I am probably not seriously trying to lie to you.


If I tell you that I make 200k a year, then I might be seriously trying to lie to you.




This is not difficult. Don't pretend it is.
