Q1 GDP Stuck at 1.2%
CNS News ^ | 05/26/2017 | Terence P. Jeffrey

The Bureau of Economic Analysis’s advance estimate of real gross domestic product in the first quarter of 2017, which was released in April, had the U.S. economy growing at an annual rate of just 0.7 percent. The BEA’s second estimate, which is “based on more complete source data” and which was released today, increases the estimate for the annual rate of first quarter growth in real GDP to only 1.2 percent.

In the last quarter of 2016, according to the BEA, real GDP grew at an annual rate of 2.1 percent, while for all of 2016 it grew at only 1.6 percent.

That last time the United States had 3.0-percent or better growth in real GDP for a full year was in 2005. Since then, the nation has seen 11 straight years of less than 3.0 percent growth.

“There are some folks who believe--and many of those folks happen to work at the Congressional Budget Office--that 1.9 percent growth is the best we can do forever,” said Mulvaney.

“We refuse to accept, in this administration, that pessimistic view of the future,” he said. “We refuse to accept that the new normal is 1.9 percent, especially when the history of this nation is above 3 percent.

....”Barack Obama Is Now The Only President In History To Never Have A Year Of 3% GDP Growth”...

That’s what happens when you put a socialist community agitator/organizer in charge. Obama is even unqualified to run an elevator, let alone the USA.

Where did those statistics come from?
I type in the web address USDJOBS.GOV & get nothing!
I Google Department of Workforce & I get nothing federal!
I don’t want to use these “states” when talking to a liberal unless I can source them and validate that source.

Economic recovery doesn’t happen overnight. After tax cuts sometimes it gets worse before it gets better, as it did with Reagan. And Trump’s tax cuts haven’t even be passed much less implemented yet.

People have got to have a clue about economics. You’ve got to know that tax cuts equate to wealth and to a healthy, thriving economy. Just like people know that after successful cancer surgery, the patient doesn’t instantly appear healthy. Recovery takes some time.

Our nation desperately need solid education. Education, knowledge, and understanding are our main weapons against the Lying Left who will cry bloody murder (with the unborn’s blood dripping from their hands, the lying hypocrites) at the tax cut and at the lousy numbers at first.

We're not in the 1st Quarter no more. Obama started (Oct. 2016) Q1 2017. Trump GDP 2nd qtr. is projections slightly above 4%. Many DUmb economists thought this could never happen again LoL. Goofballs.

The Trump economy is about to take off.
