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.

“.. 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.

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.

Wow. It’s amazing how effective the Obama economic policies have been. Hopefully, Trump won’t screw them up. (/sarcasm)

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.

“Over a sustained period” which is still TBD.
Trumps gotten (or will get) 3% or more for three Quarters, which is a very good start.

The previous admin had a pretty good run Q2 2014-Q2 2015, with one quarter at over 5%. Of course, that was a lot of paper growth. And not sustained.

What would break things out are another 1996-2000 or 2004-2005.

It is amazing what true hope and change will bring a society unlike the lies and deceit pawned off as hope during the 8 years before the current administration.
