The media's fact checkers just got fact checked by reality.

The New York Federal Reserve on Friday raised its estimate of U.S. gross domestic product growth for the fourth quarter of 2017 closer to 4 percent, based on revisions of prior data that suggested stronger economic activities.

The regional central bank’s “Nowcast” model calculated the economy was expanding at an annualized pace of 3.98 percent in the fourth quarter, quicker than the 3.92 percent rate calculated a week ago.

Media and the "experts" said that economic growth in 2017 would only be 1% to 1.5%. Trump was ridiculed when he said economic growth would be 3% to 4%.

Trump was right. The media and the "experts" were wrong.

Wasn’t the claim sustained 4%? Not just a few quarters here and there at 4%+.

4 percent?!?! When the heck did we see that last before Trump??

[Governor Dinwiddie]

The Deep State will play games with the numbers to insure that the official GDP doesn't reach 4%.

Women and children hardest hit.

So what’s realistic? The San Francisco Fed estimates the “new normal” for annual economic growth to be 1.5% to 1.75%

[snarkytart]

The only field in which you can have absolutely ZERO experience in something and still be considered an expert in it is the media...

Never played in a pro sports game, that’s okay become a sports reporter and be called an expert.

Never run for office or held an elected position? That’s okay, become a political reporter and be called an expert.

Never worked in tech? That’s okay, report on tech and be considered a tech expert...

“Not just a few quarters here and there at 4%+.”

Economic growth for 2017 is 4%. For 2018 it is now forecast to be 4%.

The media and the experts forecast 1.5% for 2017.

Where do you get this “a few quarters here and there” nonsense?

[Behind the Blue Wall]

Same people who gave him a 2% chance of winning the nomination and the Presidency.

[LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget]

Wow. Arn’t you a negative Nellie. You make me think of the 300 million dollar lottery winner bitching about how much he is going to have to pay in tax.

[dirtboy]

You’ve turned into quite the Eeyore troll lately.

[joesbucks]

Lately?

We are witnessing the difference between a successful businessman and a community developer in the White House. President Trump removes strangling regulations so that makers are motivated to invest in new ventures or expand existing ones. Obama stifled personal accountability in favor of making more room at the public trough for the takers.
