But the Russians!

Rush was just talking about it...CNN was surprised...

[JayAr36]

“Unexpectedly”

There’s that word again from the so-called experts.

I’m sure that weather forecasters and economists attend the same classes and the forecaster are the ones that can add.

Economists use a dart board.

[I want the USA back]

“unexpectedly”
NO. The economy grew. The idiots who predict the economy were wrong, as usual.

[Jim Robinson]

MAGA bump!

[pollywog]

DOUBLE YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Conservative? NOT!

[House Atreides]

Irrelevant. Trying to distract from the good economic news?

[xzins]

He is right. If inflation is dropping they must do something to get it back in range. That would be a quarter point cut.

[xzins]

Rush is an American treasure. He’s a man who shaped a generation.

[xzins]

That’s why the libs want to shut down oil production and fossil fuel use. They know that growth is inevitable if they don’t.

[xzins]

We need a reminder not to buy Chinese. I accidentally did when I bought off Amazon last week. When I saw the package, I thought “damn.”

But a key way to boost the gdp is to cut the trade imbalance, and China is bad guy number 1.

[RightGeek]

Jobs, not mobs

[xzins]

Amen.

[cba123]

I believe China is the entire reason for this increase, “last quarter” we imported a BUNCH from China.

This in my view, is entirely attributable to that bump, now this is the resulting pause.

We are currently running a far, far too large trade deficit with Chína.

That is still a huge problem.

[xzins]

100% agreement.

We need to cut Chinese imports for a number of reasons. In my mind, funding their military is the biggest, the economy is second, Asian hegemony is third.

[newzjunkey]

Which half of the happy couple are you?

[EdnaMode]

5 minutes.

[traderrob6]

I believe the growth rate during Obama’s “tenure” was actually 1.4%.

I remember the first time I ever heard Rush. I was on the road in rural Iowa (breeding stock saleman). Surfing channels by hand as was my habit and stumbled on Rush. Thought it was a joke at 1st but absolutely loved it.

Realized after awhile it was a legitimate talk show and have listened to him ever since that day ~ 1991 or so.

[dynoman]

No.
