he’s wrong...low inventories depressed the GDP number this quarter...inventories will have to be built back up which will help the GDP number next quarter...

They will pretty much ignore the good economic news after acknowledging the good number for about 15 seconds before continuing the endless cycle of hysteria over the things that nobody cares about except them and the far left. Cohen, Stormy, Russia, Russia, Russia, Trump is mean, Trump disrespects our allies by demanding fair trade (I love that one), etc etc etc.

The script is so predictable we don’t even have to watch......

They always have a spin, but it’s remarkable how fast they all sync their talking points.

Watched this reported On CBS THIS MORNING, and my were their faces GLUM. NorDUH O’Donnell was underwhelming as they reported best economy in 18 years. John the effeminate guy fretted that it was too good and we will have problems, and Gayle just scowled.

Hey you, yes you, the guy who stated president Trump would need a magic wand to attain 4% GDP.

Now go and eat your peas.

Oops, that’s right, Gayle King’s observation was that many millions simply were not participating and didn’t partake in this improved economy. Talk about Debbie Downer.

Nailed it @ post 21

I think next quarter will be better. The wild card is the Fed who seems to be stuck in a formula of expectation bias that bases rate changes on anemic growth. I don’t want a sugar high number or response, but I hope they don’t govern the engine until it is fully revved up.

Don’t worry, Congress will ruin the economy with their new tariff bill that floods our shores with Chinese junk.

“Women, children, LGBTQ, minorities left behind.”

That will be the leftie’s spin.

Oh? Is the economy a story? You wouldn’t know it from watching Fox News. All they can report is the “pressure” that President Trump is under to come up with something tangible from North Korea, and, of course, RussiaRussiaRussia.

Guess the talking points went out this morning. Booming economy? WHAT booming economy?

"Fastest rate in almost 4 years" my ass!!

Obama would have personally vandalized railroad tracks if it was ever 4 percent under his rule.

Mark Levin is a Globalist. He represents foreigners over Americans.

Let’s not forget, he supported Hillary for President.

Obama’s last quarter was a miserly 1.8% GDP growth in December 2016. The 2015 December quarter under Obama had an even more miserable 0,5 % GDP growth. Trump’s lowest GDP growth was the March 2016 growth of 1.2 %. Not surprisingly, that is the one GDP growth that was due almost entirely to OBAMA.
