It's idiotic. Unemployment down, wages up, GDP growth up. None of that means anything to you, because you hate the guy in charge at the moment.

Paul Krugman is a Nobel prize-winning economist, who said that believing in 3% GDP growth, is like believing in the Tooth Fairy. Trump did it. He did, what they said couldn't be done. And not one of them conceded Trump was right and they were wrong.

Snack on that.

Trump said sustained 3% growth which we're nowhere near and forecasts are for a continued decline.

Sounds familiar to previous predictions Jeff. Anyone can read. Anyone can make predictions. History tells us what actually happens. Trump is not the type to under promise and over deliver but so far the economy has exceeded expectations of your media.

you have zip
to say about Krugman suggesting the US economy won’t survive Trump, and you pivot immediately to bashing Trump.

Yawn.

were these forecasts generated by the same forecasters who forecasted that Hilary would win in a landslide? So you accidentally proved my point. When do YOU, Spence, conclude that these people are more driven by ideology than truth, how many times will you allow them to completely mislead you, before you stop listening to them?

You’re like Charlie Brown, confident that THIS TIME, Lucy won’t pull the football away from you at the last second.

I don't know of any economic models (except from the WH) that say we're going to maintain 3% growth.

Are you still focused on believing models that have let you down already. That’s insanity.

I was wrong, you got me there... wasn’t as easy as I thought.

My comments about the economy aren’t aimed at any particular party or person in charge, they’re aimed at the current state of the economy.

It’s funny to me how all these economic indicators switch with the person in charge in the White House. When Obama was in charge, unemployment being down just meant a ton of people stopped looking for jobs. Now it means the president is an economic genius.

Spare me... please

i don’t know who you’re referring to. i give obama credit constantly, for helping the economy. i can give credit or criticism when its deserved, regardless of party.
