Because none of Trumps policies have been enacted.

If you talk to Strategist, he will tell you that the economy is already growing at 4%.

Strategist is the optimist's optimist. He's who Tony Robbins goes to when he's feeling down.

I heard the Liberals bitching on NPR this morning about how Trump is using his family and people he's always leaned on to run "Successful" businesses.

Then I realized these people are already at the end of their career and don't know it yet.

Plus, Trump has only been president for 2/3 of the first quarter, but don't let facts get in the way of a good delusional (baseless) rant.

Not a rant, just pointing out that it will be difficult to grow the economy 4% real terms when most industries can't grow like that. Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon can grow; they also don't need many people. If the economy grows at 4% in real terms, 10 years will be at 4% which would slow down housing, auto, and anything else that depends on low interest rates.

Obama made sure of that. He was the first president to NOT have an annual 3% GDP in 8 years.

You don't think that housing bubble that developed fully under Bush might have had something to do with that. Remember you just said that Trump does not own economy yet. Well Obama then does not own the first couple of trillion of debt that were used to bail out banks.

Trump's policies are going to help keep winters cooler to increase energy demand? Fascinating.

That was 8 years ago.

Sure but how is putting Cohn and Mnuchin in charge going to change that again? I just don't see why you are so optimistic.

Trump's tax bullet points are an answer? Deregulation is an answer?

Because the the economic indicators under the last two administrations have been upended.
New economic models are coming on line now. I predicted this.The economy isn't measured by the burger anymore.

A) meaningless babble
B) you perceive a huge degree of change being implemented by an administration that cannot govern

So Trump is responsible for the rise in the stock market since one week into November '16, but the economy, well we can't really say it's Trumps' Economy yet here six months later. Because that would be mean! There's already enough big meanies in the media picking on Trump, don't pile on. That's not fair!!

He has a Republican majority in the both the House and the Senate, yet he can't get any of his policies enacted?

This speaks loudly with regard to his leadership and deal making skills. Feeling swindled yet?

Its the Fed, not Obama. When will you political types ever wake up. Actually, it is also structured finance, as bond demand is through the roof. It is the new gold.

It's always someone else's fault isn't it?
Bad economic policies, lack of confidence, high taxes had nothing to do with a low GDP.

Taxes during Obama's terms were lower than in the 90s or 80s, or 70s or 60s, etc.Strategist says

Bad economic policies

Agree we should not have bailed out the banks, so you would still be upside down on your houses.

Just following the trend line Obama set:

-

Obama became president Jan 2014? Damn I thought he was president longer than that. You learn something new on patnet every day. Ironman is an bottomless well of little know facts.

Obama gets full credit for preventing a depression, but no credit for a full recovery.
Only an independent like me can be without bias. :)

Thanks for posting.
I did not realize Obama was worse than Jimmy Carter as far as GDP goes.
And to think I supported Obama when he ran for his second term. I apologize to all of America.

He was.... how come you ignored this chart in the thread:

Because that chart has all the information on it vs your silly 2 year chart.

Hey Bobby boy, why don't you scroll up and read why that 2 year chart was posted.. you know, try some reading comprehension...

I know why the 2 year chart was posted, because the entire 8 years would just make your comment just look stupid. As usual.
