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.
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.
