Trump's 4% GDP growth promise update

[Correll]

Are you displeased with the economy?

IF it was doing as great as trump says it is WHY lower rates ? What pitfalls lie ahead ?
BTW I'm doing great BUT how many middle class folks are heavy into the markets? The rich get richer and the middle class have babies, strike a bell with you?

So, to be clear, that is a thumbs up on the economy? You know, the question I asked?

The stock market is doing well All the rest is pie in the sky and btw does the AH in the WH think Powell works for him like he thought Comey should?

Nothing pie in the sky about rising wages for the lower income workers.


"Powell"?

Those rising wages are gone Rising prices killed them How many Americans is trump going to hurt now?? First the farmers now all retail stores then the consumers Who 's next ?

Those wages for the lower end workers, was up 3.4 %. How much was the increase in prices?

The President is in charge. The SecDef is supposed to support his polices.


You got some more detail on that?

The SecDef is supposed to offer expert advise based upon his experience.

Behind closed doors.


If he cannot support the policy of the President, he should resign, or be fired.

Thank you for once again proving my point. You will defend Trump no matter what he does or says.

I'm asking for more information on your example. Cause it looks pretty weak.

Does not sound credible. No way anyone is getting in the way of out of control debt without a struggle akin to a major war. At best.

For such a policy to be credible, we would need a formal program announced with explanations how it will be done, and the sacrifices that are gong to be called for. And even then, I would be highly skeptical.


I judge it Hyperbole. Not serious.

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.

Have the 2018 numbers been released?


Sent from my iPhone using USMessageBoard.com

Yes, and it was revised down to 2.9%, so Donnie missed it.
GDP Q4 final reading up 2.2%, as expected, but leaves full year short of Trump's goal

I have not seen a final number for the economy of 2018 yet but if this is an accurate number it beats the last administration.

2% is the new normal. At least that was what we were told. Could not get better. To beat 3 % is doing good. I am not aware of anytime that our economy has been able to hit 4%.

I assume you have never heard a politician on the campaign trail before. Since you are unfamiliar with what they do if you take 90% of what they say as fact then you are either stupid or extremely guliblible.

This is what I want to hear from Trump supporters. I don’t want excuses. I want them to admit, like this guy just did, that Trump was full of shit and making shit up and lying to people like he often does .

Yep, he was lying, or maybe just wrong. And yep, he made shit up, and yep, his corporate tax plan was a bad idea that produced very little.

Given all that, I will likely have to vote for his sorry ass again.

Dude. Do you find his claim, if a ******* TWEET, to be a credible policy statement, especially on THAT?


I explained why I did not find it credible. Would you like to explain why you DID find it credible?


Or are you more a hit and run kind of guy, instead of a serious person?

Which party is against minimum wages ??

Yes, I find it to be 100% credible because he said it in person as well and he said it and tweeted it because his supporters were pissed off at him for signing the bill and he was trying to appease them. He was not being hyperbolic, he was ******* lying. But you cannot ever admit that your god could lie, you have to defend him 100% of the time.

It is useless to try and talk to you about Trump, you have no grasp on reality.

The GOP.

So, you made the claim that the wage increases were wiped out by rising inflation. YOu dropping that argument?

It is not a credible claim. There is no chance of it being true. No reasonable person would take it seriously.
