Trump Economy Posts 3% GDP Growth

[Mac1958]

The Dems gave Obama the credit while the Fed pumped $5T into the economy to bring it back, so it's not like we're dealing with intellectual honesty at this point.

The only reason the Fed did that was because Conservatives in DC refused to do anything to stimulate the economy. And I don't know why on earth any Conservative is opposed to QE; it's trickle-down economics at its most base.

And yet Obama gets credit for it, which is my point.

Somebody, anybody tell me that they want an Obama economy back. Anyone?

This is the Obama economy. His budget covered October 1st 2016 - September 30th 2017. Because that's the fiscal year.

Yeah, I forgot. Giving food stamps to moochers is good for the economy.

It's better than giving tax cuts to the rich.

There was more to growing the economy than just QE. Give it a rest.

Such as what? Since I'm in the financial industry, I look forward to the education. Lay it out for me.

Or are you just another partisan ideologue, protecting your "side"?

The stimulus, the green energy initiative, expanding overtime pay for federal workers, Obamacare.

I don't know why you would want to pretend you work in the financial industry (isn't called Financial SERVICES Industry...someone in the industry should know that already), because we can very simply just lay all the blame for the economic collapse on you, thus discrediting everything you are saying. And if you're not in the financial services industry, then you're pretending you are for the sake of an anonymous message board, which is pretty shitty.

Tell me how the green energy initiative, expanding overtime pay and Obamacare stimulated the economy, which never grew that much to begin with, even with all the QE.

Here it comes....."He inherited such a great economy thanks to Obama"

The first 9 months, in large part, belong to the last President, in modern times. But Trump did nothing to wreck things.

In March 2009 the left was giving Obama credit for the better economy, yet nothing he signed or passed was implemented, so does the credit go to Bush? Not sure, the rules seem to change depending on the President.

 

[SeaGal]

Last negatives were Baby Bush's : )

Not true...happened twice under Obama. Recession officially ended June 2009. Negatives in 2011 Q1, -1.5 and 2014 Q1, -.9

Doesn't matter to me if you can't stand the current prez and wish all matter of evil rain down upon his head but let's at least keep it real.

On a side note (for...I don't remember who), NK shot missiles over Japan twice in the past...during the Clinton and Obama administrations. Facts is facts, right?

GDP growth of 3 is good news for us all. Might go to the basement next quarter, then you can be gleeful.

Correct. Thank you, I looked it and confirmed; until 6/09 appeared to be under Bush II. I will not be 'gleeful' if the economy takes a dive; the deficit will go through the sky, but tax cuts help the economy, temporarily that is.

I already clicked them off, note, YOU ARE CORRECT.

It's Ok!

You know what really frosts my b....,? well, it would if I had any. This stuff should not be so hard to find. It's almost as if the powers that be are deliberately pitting us one against the other. There are so many half truths, buried truths, twisted truths, manipulated truths and omitted truths. in and out of print, on national news, etc. If I hate anything at all, it is that.

Actually, the budget only ran until 4/28, if you have other sources, please post.

I would say COMBO, same with Trump; a new President assists in the psychological aspect of the economy.

 

[Papageorgio]

If he is responsible for this is he also responsible for the wall and healthcare ?

Weak shit, man. You can't argue with real numbers. Not the fake, contrived, and manipulated numbers we saw from the Obama administration. Real numbers. Real progress. Real growth.

The next step would be tax reform, which will push this winning through the roof.

Which of his policies is responsible for this miracle ?

Obama took credit when the economy started to turn around in March, even though no bills had been enacted yet. So was that him or Bush?

Combo? What did Obama exactly do then? But then with a good economy you claim it is Obamas right now and not Trump. Your inconsistency shows how partisan you are.

Obama did nothing to encourage jobs. Trump made that happen. Obama did nothing to inhibit criminal illegal crossing of our border, Trump has virtually stopped it.

 

[edthecynic]

Yep, and he did it without increasing Federali spending, like Obama did.

US second-quarter GDP growth revised up, fastest in over two years

Fake News! Fake Numbers!
After Tramp forced the numbers to be fudged up.

You mean like the low unemployment numbers Obama claimed after setting a record for food stamp users? Talk about fake.

Yeah like the fake UE numbers Don THE Con is using now, as fake as Tramp's crowd size numbers.

Actually both food stamp use AND unemployment are going down. That's how things are supposed to work. You don't put record numbers on food stamps if you're claiming unemployment goes down as much as Obama claimed.

Food stamps use has been declining the last 4 years under Obama, yet all that time the lying scum Right were saying Obama's UE numbers were fake. So Tramp's numbers are just as fake.

Bullshit!
The Stimulus was signed in February, and all Obama did was tell America it was time to buy stocks March, calling the bottom, and making lots and lots of money for any American who followed his sage advice.

"What you're now seeing is profit and earning ratios are starting to get to the point where buying stocks is a potentially good deal if you've got a long-term perspective on it," President Obama said at a press conference on March 3, 2009. The stock market hit its low point less than a week later on March 9, 2009.

Please link to your claim that Obama was crowing about the economy in March.

BS! It was passed in Feb but nothing happened with the money until May, so please stop your lies.

Under Obama, food stamp use was going up even when he said unemployment was going down. Not how it works.
