I wont relitigate the specifics offered up by many economists who were skeptical of Trumps growth claims among them the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, which said 4% growth is nearly impossible to achieve over a sustained period. The fact that politicians make almost naively optimistic commitments on the campaign trail is nothing new. And the fact that Trump lives in a warped reality all his own is pretty much the defining feature of American politics right now.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The New York Federal Reserve on Friday raised its estimate of U.S. gross domestic product growth for the fourth quarter of 2017 closer to 4 percent, based on revisions of prior data that suggested stronger economic activities.
You want wine with your crow?
The naysayers. You’re stupid to listen to them. They’re usually wrong and have absolutely no accountability.
So the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget is a FAKE.
This is why I seldom pay attention to the experts.
White wine with crow!
“.. the fact that Trump lives in a warped reality all his own..”
Jeff Reeves sure looks the fool now doesn’t he? Although, it’s not like it would take much for a Trump hater to look like a fool.
They have business cards so someone can tell them how to get home.
You can pull up the stat’s prior to 2000, and find that we tended to pull 3.5-percent or more....four years out of every five.
The Bush and Obama era was a ‘joke’. All of these economists are used to 1-percent to 2-percent and think it’s normal. It’s like talking about CD-rates....it was the norm in the 1980s to mid-90s to have six to eight percent....sometimes even getting ten percent.
Expert = Paid shill
Highly respected expert = Highly paid shill
Reminds me of the same idiots that said the Dow will never get to 25000
I think youve nailed it.
And they gave Paul Krugman a Nobel for economics.
Wow. It’s amazing how effective the Obama economic policies have been. Hopefully, Trump won’t screw them up. (/sarcasm)
I dont remember Trump saying 2017. But yes, we should hit almost that by Q4!!!
I have bookmarked Jeff Reeves article. I will be sending him a email to remind him about who really lives in a warped reality all his own. Experts are experts in patting themselves on the back. Paul Krugman gets a Nobel for economics Obama get one for peace.
“And the fact that Trump lives in a warped reality all his own”
the c*cksuc*er’s bias is obvious.
Liberals are such dumbasses. Trump walks in and the economy booms.
Nobody is buying what your selling. It happens every time.
Liberals will use a robust economy to further a government that kills it. Trump is getting rid of them one step at a time.
Libtards across the land told me how the market would tank with Trump. I hope they pulled out last December.
Their existence in the USA is useless and demonic.
LOL
That moron’s lips had to be pried off Obama’s nether region with a crowbar.
