Many elected Trump assuming the economy should be growing faster than it has been the last eight years. This has been the longest period of economic growth in U.S. history but it averages around 2 to 3 percent GDP, which many consider to be low based on anecdotal views.
However, Fed officials say the economy is already expanding at something close to its maximum sustainable pace, meaning faster growth would drive inflation toward unwelcome levels.
So hence the thread question.
