4.1% for 2nd quarter

[bamaEER]

Maybe some day Trump will have as good a quarter as BO did, solid quarter though. Let's see if he can keep it going.

It is a good quarter. Funny how we didn’t hear a peep from the right 4 years ago about the last time this happened.

That is a lie.

Just like we didn't hear a peep from the Left about historically high deficits and our growing national debt while we were monetizing most of it!

We're going to disagree over who caused our deficit and debt problems, and we'll disagree over how to solve it...higher taxes or smaller government?

We do not disagree though that this is a good number. We do disagree if it will go higher. The Left says it can't, but they never thought it would get to above 4% in the first place!

We on the right say as long as we keep taxes low, cut more government spending, and allow the free market to operate without government constraints, it will go substantially higher than where it is now.

That is a lie.

I distinctly remember many of us on the Right complaining about Obama's deficits. He was dragged into sequestration because of it after voters turned over the Congress for passing that horribly expensive ACA! What is he talking about?

2nd quarter GDP revised up from 4.1% to 4.2%

Still waiting for the Left's superior alternative voters will take into the midterms. So far, they haven't offered one.

Yup this is Obama's economy all right. Which never finished above 3.0% GDP in any one year. No one was ever that bad...not even Carter!

Pretty obvious how the economy has surged under Trump.

Smart. Use a bigger scale chart. That hides the numbers better.

Figures lie and liars figure. I have not heard one proposal from the Left to improve on Trump's economic performance to date while you all dismiss it.

Got a better plan to produce better results? Let's hear it. Your silence will not surprise me.

 

[wvu2007]

Trump is failing plenty on his own, I don't have to wish any bad luck on him. I prefer to watch my investments increase not decrease.

LMAO! How's that working out for you?

Isn't it amusing @wvu2007 how all of these Leftists who posted in this thread dismissing Trump's economic numbers are no where to be found cheering creepy Joe's "record" performance so far by contrast?

Have you ever read such a bunch of phony waxed fruits? Probaby not, they're too embarrased now to admit they voted for these lousy results.
