Why isn't anybody discussing the tepid economic growth ?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

For some people, whether we like it or not, Trump will be judged solely by the performance of the economy, and not by his nefarious and mendacious ways. So far the effects of Trump's economic policies are desultory.

The backdrop for Watergate was a deep recession. Nixon might have been weather to storm if the economy was booming.

P.S. When President Obama presided over the same amount of growth we were instructed it was awful. The annualized growth rate this millennium has hovered around 2%. That's to be expected in a mature economy with a low population replacement rate.

1. And rising

Gas prices?

2. For me, because Trump, Pompeo, and Bolton will be bombing Iran before the mid-terms

in a hail Mary false flag WMD-lie kind of way and you must vote republican because Patriotism...blah..blah..blah...so the economy is not of my concern for now.

Growth will skyrocket within the military industrial complex in a few months. We're just gonna have to kill a lot of Iranians along the way to grow the economy.

5. Growth won't skyrocket . Inflation will.

And if we go to war with Iran Americans will be paying $6.00 for a gallon of gas.

3. Hey look...now we are..so thank you for that. Yeah it's just chugging along thanks to what Obama

put in place and thank goodness for that or we'd really be fucked.

WHERE IS THE 3% growth that was touted. I won't even bring up that 3% was the minimum here.

The stupid Republicans GOT NOTHING. NOTHING to run out so they need to be RUN OUT.

4. He said six percent growth.

[Kirk Lover]

7. Did he...??? I remember 3-4...is 6 even possible? 4 seems like a long shot...but I ain't no

economist...or an English major.

8. In the video he said 6% is possible.

The annualized growth rate this millennium has been 2%, not just for us but for all mature economies.

6. Because we're too busy focusing on Trump's hair and

Melania's shoes.

9. I keep trying to bump this thread,

I believe it is fair to say we are seeing a continuation of the solid but unspectacular Obama economy. Trump promised so much more. If you want to give this economy a lil shot best to focus on the demand side and not the supply side,
