View attachment 272446

The chart you posted is not GDP growth, All it does is show the % CHANGE of GDP growth, How much it's changing, without any indictor of changing up or down. So if every quarter were the same a the previous year, the line would be a straight line.

  • Since the election, 4.6 million Americans have been lifted off of food stamps.
  • Consumer confidence has soared under President Trump, recently reaching an 18-year high.

      • President Trump has prioritized the economic empowerment of women.
      • The women’s unemployment rate recently reached its lowest rate in 65 years.
      • The Small Business Administration lent approximately $500 million more in capital to women-owned businesses in 2017 compared to 2016.
      • The Administration helped launch the Women Entrepreneurs Finance Initiative, which could leverage more than $1 billion to support women entrepreneurs.

How the fuck do you post this chart which shows real GDP growth for the second and third quarter of 2018 as 3.5% and 2.9% respectively....

... but then falsely claim growth for those two quarters was 4.2% and 3.4% respectively...?

All you do is prove time and time again that you're senile.

How do our economic indicators look? Excellent.
We have perfect unemployment and a booming economy. Your charts and graphs are bullshit. We have perfect unemployment and a booming economy. Promises Made, Promises Kept! A booming economy. And the wall is starting to go up. Unemployment is at a 50 year low. God Bless Donald J Trump!

Trump's economy is booming—repealing tariffs will boost it even more

You have probably heard the saying “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
That saying could be applied to our economy right now. In this regard, it seems that President Trump can do almost no wrong, with the Dow and S&P 500 hitting all-time highs in July, job growth continuing to exceed expectations, and unemployment at a 50-year low.
The catalyst for this booming economy can be found in the president’s regulation slashing early in his presidency and his signing of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which put more money back in the hands of American companies and families........

 

[basquebromance]

any impact on consumers from the tariffs is miniscule

America is doing very well. China, Canada and others, mmmm, not so much.

Economy added 164,000 jobs in July

The economy added 164,000 jobs in July, a decline from June but well above the 100,000 that is required to keep pace with growth in the working population.

The nation's unemployment rate stayed unchanged at 3.7 percent, still the lowest in almost 50 years, according to the latest employment snapshot released Friday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The June figure was revised down from 224,000 to 193,000 positions added, and May was revised down by 10,000 jobs to 62,000.


Wall Street remained largely mute on the data, which comes at the end of a wild week in which markets were rocked by a rate cut and a surprise announcement on tariffs.

Let's see what the current trade deals have brought the US...

121 straight months of economic expansion, the longest such period in the history of the country. Explain how that is getting screwed over.

The longest, and on going, period of positive job growth in the history of the country. Explain how that is getting screwed over.

A UE rate under 4, sustained for record setting time. Explain how that is getting screwed over.

More open jobs than people to fill them. Explain how that is getting screwed over.

A record setting financial market (till the trade war started). Explain how that is getting screwed over.

You just parrot your party talking points and have no idea what they even mean.

Why do you want to end the longest period of positive job growth in the history of the country?

Why do you want to end the UE rate under 4?

Why do yo want to get rid of more open jobs than people to fill them?

And the quarter (as everyone knows)was previously posted as 4.2% and then the numbers were changed ([probably by Obama appointees in the Bureau of Economic Analysis). Even the charts I posted months ago showing 4.2, now show 3.5. We'll have to start taking photographs to get ahead of the alteration scammers, but it's a foregone conclusion that the Bureau if Economic Analysis is a ludicrously unreliable source, with corrupt, fake news scammers.

Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

US economy grew 4.2% in second quarter, faster than first reported

The GDP is always adjusted as more data comes in...it happens every quarter and has so for far longer than Obama was POTUS.

"And our real unemployment is anywhere from 18 to 20 percent. Don’t believe the 5.6. Don’t believe it.
That’s right. A lot of people up there can’t get jobs. They can’t get jobs, because there are no jobs, because China has our jobs and Mexico has our jobs. They all have jobs.
But the real number, the real number is anywhere from 18 to 19 and maybe even 21 percent, and nobody talks about it, because it’s a statistic that’s full of nonsense." - Candidate Trump

Thank God we can trust the BLS figures now. First half of January 2017, the number was wrong. Second half of January 2017, the same number was right. It's a miracle!
