America is back!! No wonder it has been so hard to find a parking spot at a Lowe's or Home Depot. Even the hospital parking lots are full. The only place I see deadbeats or homeless encampments are in the blue states.
POTUS Trump Has America on Top While Jeffries and Schumer Wallow in Pity!!
Wowza. Even More Winning!!

You know I just took a second look at her. She is obviously working to hard. Her knuckles are proof thereof.

There was a panican on here earlier today posting a “poll” about how the voters now trust the Dems more on the economy.
At this point last admin we were facing 9% inflation and being told that the recession was not really a recession even though it met the historical definition of a recession

LOL
So this is good now? Most on here complained about Obama getting only 2% growth

2% isn’t good. It’s not terrible, but it’s definitely not good. I doubt that is even outpacing inflation. 2% is effectively stagnant.

Obama averaged 1.75% during his presidency. Trump averages 2.25% in non-pandemic years. Don’t know if that’s a big deal. But those are the facts.

It’s the 20 year average. Including the Covid years. So.

You talking about the Kenyan formerly known as Barry Soetero who had the Fed Reserve give him 0% interest for his entire term? That guy? Wasn't the Fed pumping 80,000,000,000 dollars a a month to help that guy named Barry Soetero, a/k/a "Bathhouse Barry" in Chicago?
But Barry did let you keep your doctor, right?

It’s average to solid gdp report, but the main drivers of this gdp report are AI investments and government spending. Not sure that’s a really sustainable model. Non-AI capital spending is crap. Software and computing investment rose 24% year over year in the first quarter, yet all other business investment contracted. This is the 6th consecutive quarter of declines.

He is longing for the Biden years or the years of quantitative easing with Bath House Barry.

Explain this to the board for us. We are the envy of the world because of our capital investment in AI, computers, and software.................but you believe we should divest of that and focus on buggy whips and covered wagons. Could you elaborate for us.......

I think he is saying without the insane government spending, there is little to no growth.

He entered office when we were in a recession. He brought us out of that with a 2% growth, the highest capital investment ever, and the highest employment number. All while reducing inflation while the fed had raised interest rates and was doing quantitative tightening. That my friends is a magic wand. And its about to be turbo charged.
Now lets hear about the low employment numbers and forget about the 100s of thousands of non productive govt workers sent home. Or the millions of illegals who are no longer here. Its amazing the stats show any job growth at all when you factor in the aforementioned. Means a lot of Americans are finding work.
As a sidenote 363,000 people have joined the fed govt apprentice program for blue collar jobs since Trump took office, its now over 700,000.

Are you retarded? The U.S. was not in a recession when Trump entered office. Also, the fed had begun lowering rates before the election in 2024, and has not raised them since then.

I agree with you on government spending, but not AI. In the 1980s would you have discounted spending on computers? Discounted spending on the internet in the 2000s?

How much of the business investment surge is data centers?
