Nobody curious about what things would be like if he weren’t under the greatest assault 24/7 of any American President in the history of the USA?
Hey Mr. HILTZIK....
Funny guy...
Now Suck One!
Journalists and academics are very seldom right. That’s just the way it is, and it’s based upon their very simplistic superficial understanding of the world. Amusingly, they think they understand more than the rest of us.
Newspaper. Sheet!
We must all be dreaming then.
The nice thing about journalists is that no matter where you are on the talent spectrum, you can ALWAYS look down upon them with little chance of being proved incorrect.
DEAR LEFT, Don’t you hate being “right”, all the time? /s
What’re they going to say when it hits 5% or 6% do you think?
MICHAEL HILTZIK
I have learned the Miltzik regularly gets the most views at the LA Times web site. Pathetic.
Also, LA Times just moved to El Segundo from their famous downtown building, because the LA Times could not afford the $1 million monthly rent on the old building. Question: Why is the LA Time paying rent after working in LA for over a hundred years? Garbage newspaper.
Dream bigly!
Lots of pundits having crow for dinner tonight.
Thank you.
Reading this article brings on the same joy as watching an election night video.
Economic growth of 3% is next to impossible, as is Trump getting 270+.
It’s not over until Krugman leaps out of a high rise window.
People judge the economy by their own lives, not obfuscation in a newspaper.
Yes, a man who dreams dreams and makes them come true. Right Mr. Hiltzik? What do you say now? I believe it would be, "There's no disagreement that a sustained growth rate of this magnitude would be a significant achievement."
Yes, that's right. Are you going to write an article about this "significant achievement?" C'mon! You can do it!
Well, he should only get credit for 2.8%, while Obama gets credit for the other 1.3%. Without Obama’s contributions, Trump would still not have gotten over 3% growth. Obama’s average for his 8 years was a bit over 1% growth, so, let’s not take that away from him. ;)
So, the LA Times is right. Kinda.
(I went back to my liberal logic to arrive that that bit of analysis above). ;)
Not there yet. The point was to get a >3% year, not a quarter.
So far it’s just a half-year in, two quarters to go, and growth rate needs to average just under 3% for those quarters.
Chances are good, at this point, but not certain.
Wow. How wrong can you be and still have a job? Uh oh! It’s because YOU’RE A LEFTIST!!!
Hey dumbass! Remember that Obama said these high-paying jobs are never coming back. IT’S BECAUSE YOU DIDN’T WANT THEM TO COME BACK!!!
“The trouble with our Liberal friends is not that they’re ignorant; it’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.”
Trump may not be able to deliver on all of his campaign promises, but by doggies he doesn’t give up easily. And he actually never gives up. He just wants to fire his next round. Rinos before him didn’t even try.
