    Sad that 3.2% gets all excited in 'Merica now. Will we ever get over 4% for year ever again?

    You would of had a year of 4% growth if Trump or Reagan were in office in 2009. Obama's policies guaranteed weak growth.
    Meh...

    Reagan got 7.2% growth in 1984.

    CNN stunned this could happen with a government shut down

    Funny you should mention that. A significant part of the rise was a big increase in state and local spending, which itself was caused in large part by the federal government shutdown.
    Based on what numbers?
    State and local government spending jumped by almost 4%.

    It's clear that you grasping at anything no matter how pathetic to cover for the fact that the economy is good and all your bullshit about how tax cuts weren't going to help the economy were wrong.

    Funny from the dude who bitched about labor participation rates from 2009 through 2016.

    Imagine rooting for a bad economy. #TeamHondo

    Who is rooting for a bad economy?

    And you also bitched about labor participation rates. Cause that's what your news source told you to focus on as we were growing over 3% at times.

    Yeah, I believe that I was bitching about the labor participation rates when you were advocating for lowering of the age of consent to 8 years old.

    You are rooting for a bad economy. We can all see it. You’re pretty angry. It’s apparent.

    I’ve never “bitched about labor participation rate”. Ever. Lying ass.

    What is my new source? Idiot.

    I'm just glad labor participation rates don't matter anymore.

    Why I have to keep bailing out Race?

    Hahahhahahhahahahaha!

    You really are amazing.

    I've already been through the actual rates with you. You continue to pretend otherwise. No one here buys your bullshit though.

    The point of that comment. Someone pointed out that CNN said something negative about the economy. You see, Bot, that you guys, pretty much everyone on here, listened to news sources that were railing on labor participation rates, to counter the fact that the economy was growing at rates pretty similar to what they are growing now.

    I remember Ohare airport in Chicago had those toilet seat covers in the 80s. I tried to get my management at Lowe’s to carry them but they said no. I thought they were nifty.
    What a great idea. Public shitters are fucking nasty and I always use an ass gasket but the paper ones are a pain.

    The things that annoy me about public bathrooms is the toilet paper. Pretty sure wiping with sand paper is more comfortable than a lot of whatever bulk brand the restrooms carry.

    State and local government spending was approximately 18.1% of GDP in 2018. So close to one-fifth.

    Makes total sense. Economy rocking = more tax revenues for sales, property and income taxes at the local level.

    They'll find some bad news even if they have to keep making it up

    CNN and their ilk said the shutdown would lead to recession
