You thought wrong as per usual. It's called reducing the trade deficit.

Trade deficit goes down GDP goes up. It's not a hard concept to grasp.

They said that last quarter and got 2.2.

With the cuts Trump promised it should be above 5.


Horrible, horrible economic performance in the US right now.

It should be 5? Are you sugaring your churro mentaltoss?

“U.S. households are back to their free spending ways, with the strength of May’s retail sales figures implying that second-quarter real consumption growth (and GDP growth for that matter will now be more than 4% annualized. With the benefit of the tax cuts, strong employment growth and a slow acceleration in hourly wage growth, consumption growth should remain strong going into the second half of this year,” Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics told MarketWatch.

Must suck to be a socialist and always see positive economic performance everywhere but where socialists are in power.
