Saving for future use.

Methinks The Ape Pee will not revisit this story a year from now when it has been proven utterly wrong.

Okay, let’s look at some important points.

Last year the economy grew at 1.6%

According to THESE economists, this year they predict 2.3 %.
Considering we are 3 months in to 2017.
If proposed tax rates pass, they won’t be implemented for another 3-6 months.

Secondly, the article states “according to 50 economists surveyed by the National Association for Business Economics.”

This is AP (Associated Press), who has been known to be creative with reporting.

The question to ask is “HOW MANY economists were actually surveyed?”
What were the qualifications of these economists?
What were their fields of experience and “expertise”?

Surveys can be made to look any way you want, by misleading questions.
Or cherry picking results.

This article tells us nothing except
1: 50 economists
2: said such and such.

I didn’t see any predictions as to what Trump and Congress will provide in the way of job stimulus, so any forecast by these expert buffoons is total BS!

How many? Ask Obama. Whenever he talked about any experts that supported his agenda, it was always ALL ECONOMISTS or ALL CLIMATE SCIENTISTS agreed with whatever he said.

AP, give it time. 50 politicians said Hillary would win. Time tells all. The Donald doesn’t play games, he gets results.

The economy will grow a solid 2.3 percent this year and 2.5 percent in 2018,

those kinds of figures got GHWBush unelected. Now they are solid.

US economy to grow slower than Trump pledges, survey finds [NABE]

First thing I'd want to know is how much did the economy grow between mid 2007 (when Omugabe looked like he had a good chance to be nominated the first time) and Dec 2016 (when he was busily sabotaging every federal agency and policy ahead of the Trump inauguration.)

Real growth with real facts, not Obama growth backed by Obamafacts, aka pure horse puckey... Complete with giving away to the koranimals, adding hundreds of billion$ the final weeks, adding to tripling the national debt, as a special bonus. .

how often did we drink when we read “unexpectedly” in the last 8 years? hmm, ap?

and also it does not seem to take into any consideration the fed, which seems to be a wild card at best, and actively sabotaging trump at worst. hmm, ap?

and who picked the 50 economists from among all those in the NABE. hmm, ap?

It helped that Obama raised interest rates for the first time in 8 years on his way out the door.

Well, I’m confident the LEFT will try everything they can to make the changes as SLOW as possible; and the result will be an excuse for the LEFT to continue to talk down the President.

THE GOAL IS: TO GET TRUMP TO LOSE IN 2020.

By July, we should be able to see the results of the 2nd quarter.
