Here's the latest thing that has liberal pukes all wound up and ready to bust a mainspring. A picture of "Trump Crossing The Swamp " Hope none of 'em commit suicide.
Jon McNaughton's "Crossing the Swamp" is a riff on the classic "Washington Crossing the Delaware," but replacing George Washington's crew with members of President Trump's administration. (Jon McNaughton, jonmcnaughton.com)
Maybe it's John Bolton clutching a gun. Maybe it's Mike Pompeo setting down his binoculars to stare into the distance. Maybe it's the gators.
But a newly unveiled painting meant to depict President Trump and his team navigating the Washington "swamp" has something for everyone.
Utah-based artist Jon McNaughton touched off a social media frenzy as he shared his painting, “Crossing the Swamp,” Tuesday on Twitter. The painting is a riff on the classic “Washington Crossing the Delaware,” only it replaces George Wlashington's crew with members of the Trump administration.
Painting of Trump team 'Crossing the Swamp' touches off social media frenzy
Nice graphic. Except Obama is the only POTUS to never see an annual 3% GDP. Even the ones who died in their first term.The "Prosperity" is merely Continuing from where Obama left it. (Unemployment 4.6% and dropping)

I agree.What matters is ANNUAL GDP growth rates. Too much noise on quarterlies to celebrate or argue ANYTHING. Unless you get PAID to argue about it. LOL....

Tell Trump
That's what I responded to.
As for yearly growth
Starting in app 2010/2011 the economy faced a headwind it never faced before:
10,000 Boomers a day retiring. Still going.
(Note Labor Participation rates since)
So that 2% Growth is/was a perfectly acceptable number considering the size of the workforce/demographics.... INSTEAD of the average in the decades before.
Any more you're probably going to get inflation, which we now are getting.
Not to mention needlessly high deficits.
Sure you/Anyone can bump/give it a "Sugar High" for 2 years with a tax Cut.
Anyone can Borrow present prosperity that way.
But you want to save those opportunities for when the economy is in trouble, not when unemployment is 4.6% and dropping. (4.3% by the time of the cut)
That's just about Full Employment. A strange time for a stimulus.
BTW, in 2017 the economy grew 2.6%.
US economic growth slows in fourth-quarter on surging imports.

Once Trump's bubble bursts, we are going to be in so much trouble.
We don't agree on several things"So why are you wasting my time and yours if we agree this is senseless partisan bickering?
Only thing wrong is your dictum that 2% annual growth is "reasonable". Yes, 10,000 folks a day have been retiring for awhile now --- but they STILL contribute to the GDP because they are BUYING goods/services. HOPEFULLY spending their kid's inheritance money and not completely on the dole. And NOBODY -- I mean hardly a politician or talking head is mentioning that Baby Boomer impact on EMPLOYMENT FIGURES or the DEFICITS that Soc Sec/Medicare is running running early contributing every HOUR to the ACTUAL National Debt clock.
The GDP depends largely on the EFFICIENCY of the existing workforce and the interdependencies within the economy. NOT EVEN on gross population numbers.
So -- we had MUCH healthier ANNUAL GDP numbers with much smaller workforces throughout the past century. What we DID NOT have is this mammoth growing Federal malignant tumor of govt getting larger every year. THAT takes a toll on all those efficiencies. Trade imbalances take a toll. UNCERTAINTY in major regulation/legislation takes a WHOPPING toll. Create a CERTAINTY and reduce the drag and we SHOULD be able to have 3 to 4% annual growth again.
OH NOEZ, ANYTHING BUTZ DAT!
Donald Trump Is Dragging Us Kicking and Screaming Into Peace and Prosperity
