    You promised at least 3% growth if your shitty tax cut was passed, and you promised wage growth of at least $4,000 while also promising to reduce the deficit and eliminate the debt.

    Economic growth last year was just 2.5%, which was below Obama's 2015 growth of 2.88%.

    Trump only created 2.1 million jobs last year, which was the lowest total since 2011, and had to be revised downward by 500,000.

    So far, Trump has yet to top Obama's best quarterly and annual GDP growth.

    Check the scoreboard, motherfucker.

    Now you're moving the bar because you failed to deliver on your lofty promises.

    The promise wasn't somewhere between 2-3% growth, the promise was at least 3% growth, going up to 4%, 5%.

    That was the promise you all made of your shitty tax cut.

    Now, the economy is starting to falter because business investment has slowed to a crawl (again, another consequence of the tax cut that you promised would do the opposite), and the deficit is now up to $1T again.

    Say, weren't you the people who stapled teabags to your faces because the deficit topped $1T?

    Where are your teabags now? Or are you just saving them for 1/20/21, when Trump is gone?

    The economy is so strong that Q2 GDP was revised downward to 2.0%.

    The economy is so strong that 2018's job numbers were revised down by 500,000.

    The economy is so strong that 2018 GDP growth was revised downward to 2.5%, below Obama's best mark of 2.88% in 2015.

    The economy is so strong that the stock market has grown by just 6% in 20 months.

    US economy is going strong – Bad news for Dems, good news for Trump and America



    It’s been just a couple of weeks since the so-called experts were warning of an imminent recession citing the much-hyped “yield curve inversion” as if it were a crystal ball for predicting our economic future. It isn’t.

    In fact, the U.S. economy continues to exceed expectations as consumers remain as confident as ever. Could it be that the growing chorus of progressives cheering for an economic downturn is more focused on defeating President Trump in 2020 than on economic reality today? Clearly, that is the case.

    The generally accepted definition of a recession is two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth. So far this year, our gross domestic product (GDP) grew at 3.1 percent in the first quarter and 2 percent in the second, for an average of about 2.6 percent year to date – nowhere near negative territory.

    For the third quarter, which ends Sept. 30, the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta has a GDP forecasting model called GDPNow.

    On Aug. 14 – the day the yield curve inverted and stocks plunged – the third-quarter forecast stood at 1.8 percent. On Friday, it stood at 2 percent.

    That’s right, despite all the recession hubbub, an independent nonpartisan estimate for third-quarter economic growth has improved by over 10 percent in just the last two weeks.

    As new data come in, the GDPNow forecast varies over the quarter. I expect that the final number for the third quarter of this year will be higher than GDPNow is forecasting.

    First, GDPNow’s final estimates so far this year have been decidedly on the conservative side (2.7 percent for the first quarter and 1.3 percent for the second quarter). Second, the prospects for continued strength in consumer spending – which drives our economic engine – are strong.



    The threat that Democrats face is that voters will remember how President Trump spent every day in office fighting to grow our economy, successfully increasing their job opportunities and earnings, while his opponents were rooting for an economic collapse.

    Last year consumer spending accounted for 68 percent of GDP. As a result, how consumers feel about the economy matters. And buoyed by a very healthy jobs market and accelerating wage growth, they’re feeling pretty darn good.




    The Commerce Department announced Friday that consumer spending in July surged – up a strong 0.6 percent – indicating that American shoppers are continuing to drive the economy forward. It shouldn’t come as a surprise.

    The Conference Board, a business research organization, released its highly regarded monthly Consumer Confidence Index on Tuesday. The August index found that Americans’ assessment of current economic conditions had climbed to its “highest level” since November of 2000. The share of Americans “who say jobs are currently plentiful jumped to 51.2%, the highest since September 2000.”

    As stated by Lynn Franco, the Conference Board’s senior director of economic indicators, despite the doom and gloom headlines about our economic future, “consumers have remained confident and willing to spend.”

    Obama averaged 1.6 percent annual growth off a deep recession that started late under President Bush- the- lesser

    I recall the stock market went from 7000 to about 19000. Interest rates remained near zero throughout. Inflation also low throughout. And he did it without
    giving a massive windfall to the top 1 %. Real estate regained the trillions in value Bush stole from everyone's holdings.


    Now what has Trump done in a mere three years that wasn't continuation of Obama's recovery trend aside from hearkening in an impending recession?
    To make equal gain, Trump would have to shepherd the DOW to 40,000. Not bloody likely given his nativist economic policy.

    We're not rooting for an economic collapse, but one seems inevitable at this point.

    GDP growth for Q2 was revised down to 2.0%.
    He also promised:

    The tax cut will pay for itself

    He'll eliminate the deficit in 4 years.


    That's just for starters.
