Why lower taxes on the ultra rich when you plan to raise spending? He doesn't know and neither do they.
The Republicans will go along, because it is their narrative. It's good for Trump, because more tax cuts for the rich mean more dollars they can spend on his luxury services.

Well I guess you know everything about economy. Based on your statements the only way for businesses to grow and innovate is for government to tax the shit out of them. Man liberals are clueless and naive as hell.
She will not support TPP (because she goes where the wind blows)
Goes where the wind blows until getting elected, then goes where her paymasters tell her to go.

I obviously prefer Hillary, but I think she chickened out in the primary by triangulating on trade, and not just making the case clearly from the beginning. She did start making the case that we have to trade with people in the debate by pointing out that we have only 5% of the population and exports went way up when she was SOS.
But I think that she needs to really drive home the point that Trump's trade bluster is pure fantasy. She needs to run through the list of his obvious hyperbolic brags, and then say that his mystery trade deals are built from the same brand of fantasy. She did this a little in regard to an Iran standoff when she said "But it's like his plan to defeat ISIS. He says it's a secret plan, but the only secret is that he has no plan." She has to do that with Trade as well.

If you believe the American economy is broken, you’re simply not going to fix it with trade deals. Trump’s promise to bring the jobs “back†is all the more hollow because he doesn’t seem to know where they are."

Sustain it. A single quarter is a fart, not a trend.
giant corprate tax cut + trade wars making business stock up ahead of tariffs = 4%

I'd say it's a heck lot better than what was before, but I agree on waiting for sustainability. Let's revive this next quarter.

Atlanta Fed raises U.S. third-quarter GDP growth view to 5 percent
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The U.S. economy is growing at a 5.0 percent annualized rate in the third quarter following the latest data on construction spending and manufacturing activity, the Atlanta Federal Reserve’s GDPNow forecast model showed on Wednesday.
That was faster than the 4.7 percent pace calculated by the regional Fed’s forecast program on Tuesday.

You’re right, and Obama’s Presidency contained three such farts, but his average GDP was 1.5
So far Trump’s average is 2.6 and the economy appears to be accelerating!

Not only did the #OrangeDouchebag think Clinton has been president for 30 years and could impose "policy" at will (in case you're an ignorant deplorable, guess what: she hasn't), he also thought he held up kinda, sorta OK at first even though, sorry, the ferret-wearing shitgibbon was just as full of shit as he always is.
http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/the-press-thought-trump%e2%80%99s-first-30-minutes-were-his-best-they-were-his-worst/ar-BBwI0ux?li=BBnb7Kz
Leave aside, for just a moment, that the #OrangeDouchebag thinks the Clintons on their own brewed up NAFTA like their own personal cup of Earl Grey and forced it down his party's throat. After quoting the #Douchebag verbatim Klein takes the viagra away from our dear deplorables:
"It's a simple fact that none of this is true. Jobs aren't fleeing the United States. August marked the 78th straight month in which the US economy added jobs - we're in the single longest streak of private-sector job growth in American history. China isn't devaluing their currency - in fact, they're propping it up to stop investors from fleeing the country. The biggest plant in the world is being built by Tesla in Fremont, California, and the existing biggest plant in the world is a Boeing factory in Washington.
And these are just the narrow facts that Trump got wrong. He also seems confused about the basic structure of the US economy, and that's led him to focus on the wrong issues entirely. "You would never know from Trump's discourse that the vast majority of Americans work in jobs related to domestic service provision,†wrote Vox's Matthew Yglesias, "they work in hospitals and restaurants and schools and stores working with nearby customers, not internationally traded manufacturing.â€
If you believe the American economy is broken, you're simply not going to fix it with trade deals. Trump's promise to bring the jobs "back†is all the more hollow because he doesn't seem to know where they are."
