Being the NYT, "Trump" does not appear in this article. The author thinks the "unexpectedly" strong economy means we should have been running larger deficits from 2013 to 2016.

Boy oh boy, that Obama Economy sure is on fire, said nobody ever.

“Trump” does not appear in this article”

They can not accept, or even recognize him, as President of the New and Improved America. Much give him any credit.

“Experts” are wrong about a whole helluva lot.
That is what America is learning in the Trump Era.

So called “full employment” is a totally arbitrary number. Back in the day and all the way up to this time (apparently) the labor force was considered to be at full employment when the jobless rate was around 6% or a bit less.

Like they say, liars figure and figures lie.

As the economy continues to grow well above what once seemed like its potential, without inflation or other clear signs of overheating, it’s clearer that the old view of its potential was an extremely costly mistake.

...

That’s because inflation is not caused by economic growth or workers getting raises.

Look at Zimbabwe and Venezuela where inflation is very high. It’s damage to the supply side of the economy that causes inflation along with government debt.

Low energy prices, lower taxes and less regulation. Courtesy of the man whom they’re trying to impeach for nothing.

People often say that this expansion, now in its 11th year,
No, People often say that this expansion, now in its 11th fourth year, - there, fixed it.

Still pushing the lie that the economy was getting better under obama.
