But didn’t the “experts” say this would be impossible?

Do they adjust those numbers based on the date of Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving was on the second earliest possible date this year, so there was a full week of November that fell in the traditional post-Thanksgiving Christmas shopping season.

After 8 years of Obamanomics and 1.8% growth, our economy should be growing at 7 to 10% to actually recover. What's holding us back?

1) Illegal aliens. About 30-35 million of them, suppressing wages and straining the social welfare net. If there were about 1-2 million illegals in the country, most of us would not notice them.

2) Obamacare and the ripple effect from that disaster. People actually do react to legislation, especially tax legislation, that affects business behavior, and the cost and taxes related to Obamacare is messing with our economic growth.

3) John McCain. I don't feel the need to expand on that, since so many Freepers can wax much more eloquently on the subject. Summary; when that obstacle is gone, America can be back on the road to real recovery.

Not surprising as per the job report more people have gone back to work over the last 9 months since President Trump took over.

While I have personally cut back, SS just goes so far. And most of my shopping was done on Amazon. Kroger’s gave 4 times the gas points for gift cards, and that is how I shop, malls are a nightmare sound wise, little handicapped parking, and with 7 grands 6 G. Grands wide range in ages it’s easier to let them or their parents shop for what they want.

Besides the Wolf Chase Mall in Memphis, TN is high crime, and they have a NO GUN policy. Besides all that happy holiday, season greetings crap.
