Hmmmmmmm.....

I wonder why Liar Orlando doesn't include the fact that Texas has the largest GDP growth in the country(6.0) and California and New York are experiencing relatively anemic growth.

If all was right in the world, the dumbass SJW's would be pounding on Liar Anthony Orlando's door screaming up a shitstorm at media that is willfully mirroring Pravda instead of screaming at politicians eating dinner.

Kansas is the most surprising. Weren’t Democrats pointing to Kansas as some sort of GOP failure?

Look at California , supposed 5th largest economy in the world.

Yes Q2 for Kansas blows away Cali. If we look at both Q1and Q2 California's Gain drops to 2.65% where as Kansas has an astonishing 1.45% .... Oh wait!

HEYYOU says

Not knowing how to troll can make one look stupid.

You can say that again.

The supposed 5th largest economy only had an avg 2 quarter growth of 2.65%?

Wow. That sounds terrible.

I weaken the Liberal media economy. That's for damn sure.
If Liberals endorse it I shun it.

Actually, 2.65% is at the low end of what one would like to shoot for, do remember, we are a developd state. Now the -1.8% Kanasa had the first quarter in 2018 that was bad but I still wouldn't go so far as to call it terrible. I'd save terrible for the -5% Alaska had in with in Q1 2018.

How about Texas?

Look at California , supposed 5th largest economy in the world.

Lets say one persons income goes from 300K to 303K per year ( a 1% increase ), and another guys income goes from 24K to 36K (a 50% increase).

What kind of analysis concludes the second guy is doing better ?

That map is showing Q1 versus Q2. I for one don't know how to think about that.

Just looking at GDP figures is missing the point because quantity of life and quality of life are two different concepts. We should be looking at per capita GDP. Mass 3rd-world immigration isn't improving the quality of life on a per-capita basis. To the contrary, it's leaving the country more vulnerable in the long term, with our fixed quantity of natural resources to be divided by ever more people.

Similarly, pushing interest rates to 0 and increasing welfare and other government spending isn't improving the long-term prospects of success. It's just taking future quality of life and inefficiently pulling it forward, leaving a bleak future.

The problem for Trump is that undoing his predecessor's damage is much more difficult than causing the original damage.

What about poverty measures, are those important?

You mean in my made up example. Yes. The second guy did come out of poverty, and that's a good thing. But the numbers I made up for that example were designed to make another point, and that is that GDP growth tells you little about how those states are doing.

Is Kansas coming out of poverty ? I don't know. They are still running big deficits. California has surpluses. THank you governor Brown.

California's economy is nearly 20 times as big as Kansas'. And that Q1 to Q2 change in KAnsas may be seasonal (ag related).
