RUSH: “Federal Reserve Bank Atlanta is predicting massive economic growth for the third quarter,” this quarter that we’re in that ends in September. It’s 3.7% GDP being predicted by the Atlanta Fed. Now, during the Obama years we were never even above 2%. I think one or two quarters we exceeded 2%. The average rate of economic growth during the eight years of the Obama Regime was under 2%. When Trump presented the budget — which, when presidents submit a budget, it’s an outline because all budgets originate in House of Representatives in Congress.
But the White House has a budget and they try to get it passed and they work with Congress theoretically here to get as much of this they can. Anyway, Trump’s budget was forecasting economic growth of 3 to 5% and the media had a cow. Columnists had a cow. “This is so unrealistic! You can’t do this to people! You can’t promise economic growth of 3 to 5%. It’s not possible anymore!” I about had a cow over that. Obama forecast 6% economic growth every budget, folks. Never got to 2%. Now 3.7% is their projected growth rate this quarter.
Someone tell the New York Times.
But Russia! But Confederate statues! But rude tweets!
I believe this is the reason for the current “Trump’s a racist” feeding frenzy in the media. The worst nightmare of the Trump haters is that he turns the economy around. It would make him a modern day Reagan. Since it looks like that could happen they are desperate to create the damaging meme as soon as possible.
Trump should tweet this as well he should focus on some of his accomplishments in his tweets. It’s okay to tweet and ding the idiots who deserve to be dinged. But mix some positive stuff in there with the attacks.
This is of course anecdotal, but I see building, activity at the port, businesses opening, etc in Hillsborough, Pasco and Pinellas counties.
For about the last three quarters.

The left is opposed to capitalism. The issue is not race, the issue is that people don’t want Socialism/communism. The left are global communists.
They’ve been calling him a racist and his supporters neo-nazis and white supremacist since the campaign for almost 2 years now. That’s an old tactic and they’ve been using it against him and our supporters since he announced he was running. The only people to applaud that kind of rhetoric of people who hate him anyway. It’s a very losing strategy for the Democrats. That’s why Bannon in an article said he hopes they keep it up because he understands that it’s a losing strategy. I mean it’s something that’s been said and beaten to death. Every conservative is a racist...yeah yeah we get it.
I talked late last week to a buddy that’s a professional engineer doing commercial and institutional projects. They are slammed, and the contractors doing their work are slammed. They just had a good-sized project they had designed estimated at around $20 million get bid out. Only one electrical subcontractor bid on the work, and only 2 mechanical subs. Projects are coming in at 10%-20% higher than construction managers had estimated in the design phase. This in the Southeast.
If proof is established that criminal public acts by these people impaired the commercial and economic activity of the region, that could be prosecutable under the Hobbs Act.
The Hobbs Act originally targeted criminal union activity.....but more recently it has been used to nail individuals ---- including politicians ---- that conducted criminal activity resulting in impairing a region's commercial and economic viability.

TALKING POINTS The BLM and AntiFA thugs rampaging the country should be held accountable under the Hobbs Act for impairing the region's economic viability.
Every protester, should they have ANY money invested in the market, needs to have their assets frozen and taken to repay for all the damages they and their counter parts have rained down on this nation. Make the bastards PAY and pay severely. Once they realize that it DOES NOT pay well to “violently” protest, they may, just MAY change their attitudes. I can wish can’t I or is that being “racist”? TOUGH!
Check out his Twitter page. I would estimate that about 60%-70% of his posts are positive messages highlighting accomplishments of his administration and other good news. Those posts just don’t generate any attention — by the MSM or even here on FR.
LOL at the idea that any significant number of those protestors have investible assets!
Exactly. Been saying the same thing myself. The Man is working to MAGA as well as attempting to slay the dragon that pursues him. BO’B- he couldn’t do Jack for taking frequent vacations, the crack purchased and the people on his payroll. This as the MFM were continually building memorial monuments to the little black king. What a difference a day made!
DJT = MAGA
