[Mr Ramsbotham]

A round of tax and regulatory cuts from the new administration should help this immensely.

[Pollster1]

I doubt their predictions. I think this is more of a “not Hussein’s fault that the economy stagnated for eight years”. By the end of next year, it will be “robust growth thanks to Hussein’s brilliant policies that paid off just after he left office”.

[LibWhacker]

80 percent of those surveyed believe the potential growth rate of the American economy will remain at 2.5 percent or lower over the next five years.

80 percent of those surveyed are liberal dipsh*ts who don't have a clue how bad Trump's crow is going to taste five years from now when he feeds it to them.

[rlmorel]

Heck, we all knew this was one of the goals of the liberals...the “new normal”.

[ClearCase_guy]

And if Trump gives us decent growth, it will be “unexpected”.

[chimera]

Interesting that all these “new normals” have come to be established during Obama’s reign, and almost all of the “new normals” are downgrades from previous normals (e.g., slower economic growth, lower average family income, lower standards for education and achievement). About the only higher “new normals” are things like taxes, racial tensions, lawlessness, terrorist attacks, federal budget deficits, and the like. Is this the “fundamentally change America” that Obdumbo talked about?

The Obamaconomy.

[9YearLurker]

Economists have always tended to be a bit idiotic.

[jonno]

Of course - “put on your sweater - and settle in for the malaise...”

[Sacajaweau]

The future is never a “known”...it’s just a possibility.

[b4me]

these economists are not educated very well.

[Paulie]

Apparently these ‘economists’ forgot that, come January, obama is out and Trump is in.

Eliminating or vastly reducing senseless regulations initiated over the last eight years alone is good for 3%+ growth as far as the eye can see.

Factor in that confidence is through the roof, and we’re looking at 5% GDP growth for the next decade.

[Robert DeLong]

Gee, slow growth would be a vast improvement of no, and perhaps even negative, growth we have experienced for almost a decade now.

[TexasFreeper2009]

they said the same thing during Carters term.

But the fact is.. it’s only the new normal as long as liberals are in charge.

[Rebelbase]

“new normal”

This must be the new buzz word of the week. Our local Gannet rag has a headline story today using this phrase.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Cancel 100% of The Kenyans regulations, eliminate EPA, DOE, ED, and Interior, across the board tax cuts, repeal O-Care, eliminate base line budgeting, revise entitlements, tie welfare to work, shut the border, enforce immigration laws.

Then get back to me about the “new normal”.

[SoFloFreeper]

These low expectations are going to be shattered.

[Uncle Miltie]

Taking that bet.

[Da Coyote]

The AP says it.

Ergo, it is most probably incorrect.

[buffaloguy]

“New Normal” is just an excuse for bad performance. It should be disregarded.
