3rd Quarter GDP: A Disastrous 2.0 Percent

He sure wanted that war with Iraq. Great idea that was. Who was the commander in chief?

I was honest with you. You could do the same for me.

He wasn't the commander in chief? Or you think Iraq was a great idea? Even trump will tell you bush was disaster.

That part was not too bad, his decision to invade the wrong country two years later will go down as one of the worst decisions in history.

Removing Saddam was the right move. The occupation was handled horribly and that's where we incurred the great cost in terms of blood and treasure.

It was a great move for terrorism. Never would have had ISIS if Saddam was still around.

On second thought, I agree with you. The people of Iraq and their neighbors were far better off with Saddam.

No it was not, he was no worse than a dozen other world leaders.

Horseshit.

Yes, Bush did a terrible job at formulating strategy in Afghanistan. His idea of sending in special forces and working with the Afghan resistance and using surgical air strikes to annihilate the Taliban was a complete failure.

But back on topic, it looks like another quarter of slow gdp growth. The market has been stagnant a long time. Consumer confidence is down. Manufacturing is in recession. We have trillion dollar deficits. Lots of bad going on.

 

[K9Buck]

Horseshit.

What do you mean? ISIS is FAR more dangerous than Saddam ever was. We should have left Saddam alone. I mean, it's not like he would have tried to build nukes or other WMD's.

That's good. Hopefully we can get Elizabeth Warren into office. Her expertise on economics, combined with her social-justice causes, will be a sure winner for America's economy and its people. She'll be ever better for the millions of Mexicans and others that want to live here.

Disastrous?...
You libtards had better find a new angle....the economy is on fire...doing great...to attempt to talk it down is un American....and a waste of your time...

2% is "on fire"?

 

[K9Buck]

I misspoke. I agree with you. Saddam was no threat to anyone.

It would hard to be worse. I mean it sure was a lot better at the end of the Obama administration. Trump policy is a failure so far. His rich buddies have a huge tax handout though.

 

[K9Buck]

...it sure was a lot better at the end of the Obama administration...

Yea, it was so good that independents in swing states said "NO FUCKING WAY" on continuing his economic policies and voted for Trump. Thanks for the laugh.

This thread title is a disaster. A 2% GDP growth rate is fine, nothing wrong with it. Its actually better than Obama's 1.8% average, and that was coming out of the "Great Recession". Trump is also battling unfair trade practices by other countries, so short term pain for long term gain.

 

[harmonica]

Remember how Trump and the rube herd said Obama's less than 3 percent GDP was disastrous?

Yeah. Me, too.

The New York Fed Staff Nowcast stands at 2.0% for 2019:Q3 and 1.3% for 2019:Q4.

Dammit! Well, that does it!

They should have nominated that mushy socialist-lite GOP candidate, John Kasich.

You're right, g5000. Kasich would have be a much better candidate to give Killary the white house.

The UAW strike was well timed. I would not be surprised if they didn't try to take one for the team and try to extend the strike until next November.

2.0 percent = sluggish.

Far from on fire, fool.

2% is a Wet Dream for Growth in Obama Bin Lying Marxist Anti-Capitalist Commie Land.

Along with near full employment?...you bet your ass...

We weren’t voting for Obama. Hillary got more votes. Trump made big promises that have failed.
