and i'm sure that interest rate hike and accompanying market crash had nothing to do with it...The “Russia, Russia, Russia” narrative having crapped out, the MSM now moves on to the “Trump is going to destroy the economy” narrative.
Well gee, it took Obama 7 years (2008-2025), to get his peak 2.9. President Trump has been in office for two years, and has already reached that.
They should compare the growth rate of GDP over Obama’s eight years (1.88%) to the past two years of the Trump administration, which is 2.6%.
The article should be used as a item for study in the Gaslighting 101 course at the university.
Bovine Scat.
Yeah, what Trump delivered was much much better. Get lost.
What bull____, I’m sorry but the economy is booming...liberals can spin it, but Americans can see it...
“According on ONE major metric” meaning what? I’m not clicking through but we know the Fed raising interest rates was designed to slow growth and keep the economy from overheating. That’s why Trump was displeased.
Liars figure and figures lie.
Especially when done by Never Trumper bureaucrats.
I have made the same 174 mile trip every Monday morning for 12 years or so.
Start at 3:30 AM ending at 7:AM.
For the entire obummer administration the highways were almost deserted with a moderate amount of traffic from 6:00 AM on.
Now it is bumper to bumper beginning at 4:00 AM.
The truck stops have no parking spaces except on weekend holidays when manufacturing facilities are closed on Monday.
A couple of weeks ago, I chose a different route and drove I-85. The NCDOT rest area north of Raleigh on the north bound side had no parking spaces for trucks. Trucks were parked in the turn-in lane and the exit accelerate lane was full of parked trucks.
If you think things are no better, look at the number of trucks on the road and check on how desperate the trucking companies are for new drivers.
By the way, I do not drive a big truck for a living. I do pull a trailer long enough that I must stop at truck stops.
I repeat. Liars figure and figures lie.
that’s funny. Another article said the 2.9 was only in the last three months of 2018. This article says all of 2018. I think this article lies.
Yes, it did - in the real world inhabited by non-leftist non-journalists - except for the sabotage by the Fed.
Hassett explained on Varney’s show today that the growth was 2.9% 4th quarter over 4th quarter, but 3.0%—or was it 3.1%?—on a year over year basis.
And that he media of course were choosing to run with the lower number.
