WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - U.S. economic growth accelerated to an annual rate of 4.1% in the second quarter, compared with a revised 2.2% in the first quarter, the Commerce Department said Friday. This is the fastest rate of growth in almost four years. The second quarter gain was close to the 4.2% rate economists surveyed by MarketWatch had forecast. The acceleration of real gross domestic product in the second quarter reflected a jump in consumer and government spending.

And who will be the first pundit to say this was a result of the policies Obama had started?
“And who will be the first pundit to say this was a result of the policies Obama had started?”
CNN didn’t say it yet?
Obama said that this would never happen again.
This is my Cheshire Cat smile.
All of them, probably at the same time since they all compare notes.
Mark Levin says it should be even higher if it wasn’t for the evil tariff war started by President Trump...
“Obama said that this would never happen again.”
And his “experts” ridiculed Trump for suggesting that it would. And yet now, somehow, Obama’s supposed to get the credit for it.
Which was 2.0%
It will be....Trump said it would be over 5....how stupid is he....
IIRC, years back....2.0 or 2.5 was the goal. I never saw where the goal...promoted by the economic experts....was ever changed.
CNNABCNBCMSNBCWAPONYT Headline: “Disappointing GDP numbers miss 5% estimate. Impeach Trump.”
Take that Obama!
Lots of Freepers were saying that everything Obama was doing to grow government and starve the private sector of liquidity and funding was prolonging and worsening the economic depression. And it WAS an economic depression. Numbers were faked to hide it, but so did the MSM. If a Republican had been president from 2009 to 2015, the bold above-the-fold headlines of the New York Slimes would have carried some daily version of “President’s Depression Worsens”, “Millions Hurting and Out of Work”, “Economy Collapsing under President”, etc.
Firing up the private sector to stimulate the economy was patently obvious, yet Democrats will never do it. No wonder they govern over so many depressions and recessions. They CAUSE them.
CNN headline will read “Overheated economy sparks fears of runaway inflation”.
Time to KAGA. Trump is making it look easy like he said he would.
MAGA, wonder how the Demoncrats will try to Poo-Poo this
I almost forgot about the days of of low GDP that had to be revised downward months later.
All over Twitter the left is saying wages aren’t increasing so the rich are getting richer and poor are getting poorer.
The usual.
