    You do have to understand you have to get above 4% to get?

    You just can't stand it.

    You do understand that coming out of a deep recession it is EXPECTED we hit high GDP increases and sustain them. That didn't happen under Democrat policies. It's much more difficult when the economy is just chugging along and everyone is working.

    What did well under the Democrats?

    No I didn't, don't put words in my mouth. BTW last quarter revised upwards. What's your bet on this one next quarter?

    No it hasn't and tax revenues are rolling in, a great time to cut rates and produce even more.

    Factors nontheless there are always one time factors in results next time it will be other factors

    You just can't stand it.


    Has it gone up 10% and then 20%? Did you criticize the Democrat GDP numbers when they were increasing spending 10% and 20% producing $1,400B deficits two years after the last Republican $161B.. OH that's right you claimed Bush could have and should vetoed those budgets. Still doing that?


    The report summed it up quite well and you just can't stand it.

    No, that cant be good, because Russia hacked the election! Russia must have hacked into the government employment and economic database and faked the data! Its all a Russian plot to keep Trump in power! Fake News!

    Over 1% of the GDP can be credited directly to the tax cuts but they will not be repetative.

    This thread is about the QTR GDP, not ANNUAL.

    The 4.1% QTR GDP you called historic! LMAO!

    Followed by RW/RU projection when the truth of what I posted exposes reality. Expected.

    What's the glaring difference you are painfully trying to ignore. You bragged about Obama's 4%+ are you bragging about Trump's?

    Nope growth had flatlined all of 2015 and started a steady climb after Trump took office.

    You do realize some of the biggest companies in the U.S. take advantage of bankruptcy laws and loopholes, try and be a little less obvious and a lot more fair ;)

    As did Clinton, but they still blamed the 2000 recession on Bush.

    Try moving you line back to January 2007 when the Democrats took back the Congress and made Bush a lame duck minority President.

    I think a lot of the reporting has been discussing various proposals to cut regulations. I haven't seen anything that suggests a significant number of regulations have actually been cut.

    In part, it's because even if there's a decision to cut regulations, it takes time to actually implement. Does a law need to be amended? It has to go through Congress. Does a rule need to be rewritten? There's a process for that, too, including public comment. And depending on the regulation, lawsuits.

    So I seriously doubt that there has been a significant dent put into regulation at this point. Even if Trump had said on Day One "I'm eliminating 10,000 regs", most of that would still be in-process.

    Obama "inherited" two years of a Democrat congress and their policies. Trump "inherited" two years of a Republican congress and their policies.

    Oh, so is it Congress or the President who gets credit for the economy? Starting when, and on what basis?
