Boasting becomes a negative when the boast turns out to be false.

It would be good enough to just say “the economy will do very well” and let the results speak for themself. It is the results, if they are good that will be positive, and no boasting needed.

Boasting becomes a negative when the boast turns out to be false.

The PMI data doesn’t seem to support the GDP story, but time will tell.

I'd rather have someone say 6% GDP and come up short, than someone who said 4% inflation was transitory and come up doubled.
