If it wasn't relative WHY did the orange bozo in our WH make a point of obama not making 3% and he did? Of course he was as wrong as you were and are
The ONLY reason 3% means ANYTHING is IF it is
sustained growth over time! Obama never achieved that. His average was a pathetic 1.5% and that is basically a stagnant economy. Now if you are totally ignorant of how the economy works and what constitutes real economic growth, you can crow about Obama's hitting the 3% mark a few times through the course of his presidency but that is nothing unusual at all. It would be hard to find a two term president who didn't do that. But
GROWTH is what is measured in terms of economic prosperity. In order to have
GROWTH you need
consecutive 3% quarters, or better. Reagan peaked out at around 6%
sustained growth. Trump's last quarter was near 4% and Obama never hit 4%. He couldn't even sustain 3% and his apologists argued that we're in a different age and such growth was just no longer possible. Now that Trump has debunked that claim, you've got a lot of nerve trying to say he's riding on Obama's coat tails. That's just a ******* joke and you are a clown.
