That's interesting....I guess they don't view employment in their analysis or the stock market or additional expendable income...

[ClearCase_guy]

I look at the real world and I say, “Something good has definitely been done. Something made a difference.”

I thought it was the tax cuts. But if not that, then what?

[BradyLS]

On the other hand, you may remember all the gloom and doom predicted...

[Kazan]

Then, why is unemployment rate so low?

The media praised JFK when he cut taxes.

“Listen Hiltzik, Trump’s gonna win in 2020 unless you come up with something to stop him. Now get busy and it better be good!”

Government revenues were recently at a record high. Wages are up all over the board. Employment is at record highs. Yup. Guess they did no good at all.

Pure unadulterated crap from the LA Slimes. They can hype false news yet fail to show all the homeless living outside their gates. The old owner got out in time, the new owner has learned nothing and is a fool, continuing the idiocy of this rabid leftist rag.

Michael Hiltzik must be on drugs. Or insane. Or clueless. Or a fool. Or (e) all of the above.

In my lifetime I never saw so many business establishments closing up as they did during the eight long years of obama hell. Before then they'd just have a big sale and six months or so later a new establishment would move in and open for business. In the last couple years I've been seeing those empty buildings being leveled and replaced immediately with new ones.

If hiltzik cannot see any economic improvements, he's either blind, living in pelosiland or both.

Re higher income people who are less likely to spend. BS. THe Crs is near Penn ave and the capital. Those aren’t poor people who eat there, live there, and shop there.
Rich people buy homes, boats, cars, take vacations, etc. They also invest in businesses to make more money and that creates more jobs, taxes and wealth. Period.

I guess consumer spending just doesn't help the economy at all.

United States Consumer Spending

Consumer Spending in the United States increased to 13075.11 USD Billion in the first quarter of 2019 from 13032.30 USD Billion in the fourth quarter of 2018. Consumer Spending in the United States averaged 5818.18 USD Billion from 1950 until 2019, reaching an all time high of 13075.11 USD Billion in the first quarter of 2019 and a record low of 1403.69 USD Billion in the first quarter of 1950.

Fascinating drivel...
More jobs than applicants

Higher wages for open reqs of said jobs

3+ GDP growth

Etc

[Vendome]

Oh, wasn’t Trump suppose to tank the economy?

Yeah, that guy is a real Dick.../S

[Oldeconomybuyer]

BS.

[fuzzylogic]

...or record tax receipts by the federal government.

This article is a complete bold faced lie. Wages are rising. Unemployment is falling. Tax receipts increasing. Deficit is decreasing.

They’re trying to claim the complete opposite. It would take a moron to believe it...but then liberals only care about narrative, not reality.
