All you have to say to that is “then why is his right hand man running in 4th place for president?”

If I recall correctly, George W. Bush had a pretty good economy during his first term too. We all saw what happened during his second term in office.


Leftist policies destroyed the American economy? Seems like I remember hearing about how Bush went to Congress and told that cocksucker Barney Frank that this would happen if it wasn’t fixed.

He did

He was then branded a Racist for wanting to keep minorities and low income families in the ghettos.

Then, the bubble hit and Bush was blamed for allowing it to happen.

That's it?

That's the straw you are grasping at?

ah yes, it's much more important to steer attention to the revision process itself here under Trump's agencies.

but as for the fact that it resulted in numbers much weaker than we've been thinking all this time? nah, probably not worth a mention.

They may think this helps them. However. It's a tacit admission that the economy now is good

Which in turn

pretty much destroys their 2016 "if he's elected, he'll destroy the economy" narrative

Which in turn

Pretty much eliminates that as an argument in 2020

That’s not the question you asked.

You didn’t ask who was to blame for the numbers, you asked who was to blame for the downward revision. I answered directly, appropriately, and accurately (unlike the shitty economists).

to reiterate, job growth in the first 3-4 quarters following the tax cut & trade war just got revised down by half a million.
IOW those lowered 2018-19 employment figures show wage growth was a lot stronger, and job growth numbers in 2019-20 better than previously thought? Right?

aw what happened during his second term in office.


Doing great until the CarterClinton = 'err body deserves a hime" initiative of giving out trash loans, followed by the chicanery of Barney Frank and Chris Dodd kept Bush from fixing the problem = yeah that bubble burst - right on time to usher in the worlds POTUS of all time who continued to allow the economy stew in the aftermath.
