More bad news for the Gloom and Doom liberals predicting an upcoming recession

The two most important issues for the American people are the economy and national security. Americans will always vote their pocketbooks and these numbers bode well for Trump's re-election in spite of the 24/7 Trump bashing by the left. Why can't you people celebrate success?

Uh oh... this is terrible news, if you are on the left. They don't want this kind of success going on at any time, especially when they don't hold the WH.
Well, here's my guess on what they'll do.

First, it's all due to Obama. The guy that did a crap job, leaves, then everything gets better. I don't think people are falling for that one anymore.
Next, the sour grapes. It's really not that good... all the homeless... people starving in the streets... blah, blah, blah.
And, of course, they'll do whatever they can to hurt the economy. Keep the borders open, wasteful spending, etc... But not much they can do otherwise.
 
Trump has turbo-charged the economy with policies that are strategically used to help the economy when it is in a downturn. It looks great for him, but the economy is very healthy without it. But it eliminates tools to use when the economy really needs it. And considering what the last Republican president did to the economy, surely we are going to eventually need it.

Americans need to ask themselves if this nudge at the hands of a corrupt, chaotic and cruel demagogue is really worth it.

2014 17521.7 736.8
2015 18129.3 607.6
2016 18707.2 577.9
2017 19485.4 778.2
2018 20494.1 1008.7

2016 GDP growth 1.6%

Unemployment Rate 4.7%

Employed 152 million January 2017 to 157 million today

U-6 in January 2017 9.3% vs 7.3% today?

Part time for economic reasons, 5.7 million vs. 4.4 million today?

African American unemployment 7.7% vs. 6.7% today?

Stop letting the left make a fool out of you
 
And the obama economy continues :lol:

If you see the Black unemployment rate dropping about a point under Trump as a triumph, how do you characterize it dropping by about 7 points under Obama with no help from Congress?

LOL, dropping to 7.7 in 8 years with 9.3 trillion added to the debt?? You certainly have very low standards for our FIRST African American President, what about the years prior to the Republicans taking Congress in 2015? You keep buying what the left tells you and keep ignoring exactly when the Obama results started turning positive . What is it about liberalism that creates this kind of loyalty? How are you benefiting from the liberal ideology?

Yes, because the only thing that matters are numbers of jobs added - no matter what they pay - and how well the stock market is doing.

2020 will be determined by healthcare, just like 2018 was determined by healthcare.

No one gives a **** about republican victory laps over the corpse of dead americans with no health insurance, or underpaid employees still on the welfare docket.

:lamo Your president just went on record saying he's willing to scuttle the economy to get his wall, and you want to talk about success?

Good grief. A Trump supporter's disconnect from what's happening right in front of their eyes is the stuff of legend. It's like watching children playing catch with a hand grenade.

A lot of things are said by "my" President that are taken out of context or manufactured. Post the quote in its entirety? You want badly to ignore the results because it makes your other issues foolish and irrelevant but as a Canadian you really have no credibility on the U.S. Private sector economy anyway

:lamo You overshot that one, Conservative... I work in the automotive industry, ensuring supply of components to two major US assembly plants. I know EXACTLY what Monday was like - I was the guy booking planes because parts couldn't get across the border via truck - the Laredo TX crossing was down to two open lanes, and the delays were bad enough that production lines would have shut down.

Do you know what a major auto maker charges per hour when their line goes down due to lack of supply, Conservative? I do. Do you know how many days worth of component inventory these assembly plants keep on hand, Conservative? I do.

But please, continue to tell me all about context, and how I don't know what I'm talking about. :lol:

Sorry but selfishness is the hallmark of liberalism, illegal immigration is taking lives and costing this country billions. I am waiting for the quote in context of what you claim Trump said. Prove to me that you know what you are talking about?

Here's your quote:

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/02/us/politics/trump-mexico-border-economy.html

"Security is more important to me than trade."

So, a manufactured national "emergency" is more important to Trump than trade...the economy. :lol: How are you hanging this one the "selfishness of Liberals", exactly?

Honestly, conservative, I don't care much about proving to you that I know what I'm talking about. Given your responses and questions, I doubt very much that you have enough understanding of the topic to recognize proof if it were twerking on your face.

Thank you for the quote and understand your concern, HOWEVER Trade is the lowest component of GDP and national security is the top priority for without national security nothing else matters. Proving what you are talking about through a liberal lens doesn't do much for you nor does your Canadian background and lack of understanding of our private sector economy. There are four components of GDP and what you are focused on is the smallest and what you are ignoring is that illegal immigration is an attack o this country and what Trump is doing on the border is trying to get a return on investment that will lower costs and that improves the economy

Sad more DP peeps haven't liked your good news O/P.
Politics before country seems to be their thing. A good economy almost guarantees Trump a second term.

Let's celebrate! :2party:

You truly seem to have a problem with the issue of the claim of a national security crisis on the border ignores reality. There are always going to be people who benefit from illegal immigration and don't want a secure border. Guess if you don't live along the southern border you don't have a vested interest in securing that border or border security in general. The good of the country trumps the good of a few people and your claim that securing the border will hurt our economy is nothing more than liberal projections as the benefits to the American people outweigh the so called benefits of illegal immigration. This is a humanitarian crisis and that makes it a national emergency but to say differently simply promotes radical liberalism and failure to understand reality

You mean like keeping interest rates at artificially low levels for an extended period of time, quantitative easing, and jacking up federal spending? No, that was the last guy. Trump has backed off of much of that, and is trying to switch to a more sustainable model of reduced regulatory and tax burdens to allow the economy to grow on its own.

They weren't kept "artificially" low. They were kept low. There was nothing "artificial" about it.

This doesn't make sense. The Central Government can always increase spending during an economic downturn. The Central Bank can always lower rates if it feels it is warranted.

No tools are eliminated.

You just saw typical Trumpian hyperbolic fake claims, and you'll see the non sequitur response he will give. They're literally creating a fantasy reality, with many believing it themselves. It's very dangerous stuff. The good news is, it's nothing a vote in 2020 can't cure.

I believe this is a very accurate post, and something I've been espousing for quite awhile.

At least the fed managed to get a few interest rate hikes in there, before Trump shut them down. But we should be paying down our debt, not removing corporate taxes, because when the crap hits the fan the revenue loss and high debt service may crash the social safety nets - when we need them most.
