1st Quarter GDP lowest in 3 years

[NYcarbineer]

GDP Grew Just 0.7 Percent In First Quarter Of 2017

"The U.S. economy grew at just a 0.7 percent annual rate in the first quarter of this year, according to the latest report on the gross domestic product from the Commerce Department. That's below market expectations and indicates the economy grew at the slowest pace in three years.

Weak auto sales and lower home-heating bills dragged down consumer spending, offsetting a pickup in investment led by housing and oil drilling. Employment costs rose 0.8 percent in the first quarter."

Remember when numbers better than this were supposed to prove that Obama was a failure?

So Trump is a .......?

Relax, it might take awhile but that bad taste of Obama will dissipate.

The democrats in congress obstruct everything. Great americans must ensure that there will be a republican supermajority after the midterm elections. Then trump will fix everything. Believe me.

Why? The two things aren't related in any way. One is good and one is bad. Clearly the good is because of Trump. He's had the most successful first 100 days in the history of the presidency. Duh!

The stock market shows the attitude of things being better. The GDP shows the attitude that things were not better.

The GDP will improve the further we move away from Obama.

The great businessman is not a great businessman.

 

[shockedcanadian]

Creation of 317000 new jobs, dwarfing the past three presidents first 100 days. This without a full cabinet.

 

[Mac1958]

The Left will celebrate this, just as the Right celebrated poor economic figures under Obama.

Party over country, regular stuff. Yawn.

The rest of us are hoping for the best, even if we didn't vote for the guy.

If Trump is somehow responsible for the economy in the 1st quarter of 2017 that means Obama was responsible for the economy of the 1st quarter of 2009, eh Moon Bats?

That's partisan politics for ya.

Hypocritical. Worthless.

Obama was creating over 200,000 jobs a month
Trump creating 317,000 in three months is no great accomplishment
