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!

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. .

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.

Is anyone surprised? We would all be confused if there was ever a economic report that didn’t include “unexpected.” When democrats are in power, all reporting is unexpectedly below projections. When republicans are in power all reporting trends to unexpectedly better than projected. Anyone wonder why?

50 ‘economists’ my big fat butt. Nothing more than a highly targeted, highly gerrymandered political poll.
