Thank You Mr. President: US in Weakest Recovery Since 1949

[Acebb]

The epitome of perfection continues

Economic growth is now tracking at a 1% rate in 2016—the weakest start to a year since 2011—when combined with a downwardly revised reading for the first quarter. That makes for an annual average rate of 2.1% growth since the end of the recession, the weakest pace of any expansion since at least 1949.




You could pick a random stranger off the street, make them President, and have 1% economic growth in America.

 

[Acebb]

Gee, what happened to America in 2009?

a perfectly clueless stranger off of the street could have 2%+ growth. The only way you tank the US economy this long and this hard is on purpose.

I think it goes back farther than that, it goes back to the GD

but I think they may not have been keeping such records back then, they may have tried to reconstruct it after the fact

which means Obama and his economic policies have created the worst economic growth in recorded history

some of this saw this coming, too many others actually believe in those brilliant "libtarded" plans

 

[Dave007inVegas]

I don’t understand why it’s referred to as a recovery.


Recovery means a return to a normal state. Is this the new norm?

 

[Willie99]

well, it's semantics I suppose Dave

since it's not a retraction, it's a recovery, albeit a very slow low energy recovery

Why no talk this election cycle when it comes to the Fed and 60 months of bond buying and 90 months of ZIRP?

The signature economic policy of the last 8 years.

Where is the rebuke and backlash to central planning?

Go see Hillary's America is spells it all out for the people who think liberalism is the party of equality.

Liberals have their head so wrapped around their own axel. The squirrel in the backyard thing.
