Predict Q2 GDP Growth
Coming off an abysmal 1.3% GR in Q1, what do you predict for Q2?
Most analysts I see from the usual suspects in financial services are between 1.4 and 1.6. I’ll set the over under at 1.5 and you guys can lay your cards down.
I’m saying under at 1.4 and UE ticking up again at 4.3. rUE closer to 12% and inflation relatively steady. If the latter creeps up once more it’s full on stagflation territory given our current spending.
Bidenomics!

@hhusky is already on the record that it will be far higher than 1.3%.

Sign of a healthy economy as the economy is losing full time jobs.

Atlanta Fed predicting 1.5Boom times!

Before or after the downward reduction?
-
I'll say they over achieve at 1.8%, economy will be declared on fire.
-
when you’re below 2% does it matter?

Only global governments are flourishing.

He's also claimed he's in a position to buy. Room temp iq.

The gals who hate inflation are demanding robust growth. You really can’t make this shit up.
I say it’ll be over 2, but if not I won’t slash my wrists. You should feel free to however. -

Growth is bad for America

No Econ dept at Geoduck U.

Krugman is on your side. We have Milton Friedman. Pay your fair share and then you can yap off about your imaginary MBA.
-
A mature economy should average 2.5GR year over year or get the fuck out.
-
I'm agreeing with you. Those girls who want growth are crazy
-
The guy showing pitiful growth also gave us record inflation.
That’s your daddy. 1.9 avg over 22/23/24. Now let’s look at debt and spending to gdp ratios. Fuck off. -
So you’re telling us Daddy was a failure.

Trump averaged 2.67GR from 17-19
Biden has averaged 1.9GR from 22-24
I’m throwing 2020 out for Trump(important to note he posted 3.5%GR in January of that year, prior to COVID hitting) and I’m tossing 2021 out for Biden, for obvious reasons.

Oh
Gee
H?

It’s pretty tough to argue that 2020 wasn’t set up to be an absolute monster year for economic growth in the US….and inflation which you falsely claim is 100% part and parcel to growth was sitting at a minuscule 1.9%
COVID saved the DNC. We would be in incredible shape right now if not for your China virus, so congrats on that. Promoting racial and societal unrest was a nice touch as well.
Thanks for saving our democracy, shit bags.

Or you could just concede that Presidents don't really have any way of controlling the challenges that will arise during their terms and therefore they also have only influence, not control over the economy.

Chatch is right
You aren't

JFC if Presidents had absolute control over the economy there would never be recessions.
There would never be inflation or unemployment. There would only be growth.
Presidents can only make policy decisions. Trump succeeded. Joe failed. It’s right there for you in black and white. Just fucking own it.

Cheap oil and gas energy is bad for inflation and also bad for growth. Expensive solar and wind power is good for chicom growth and the resulting huge increase in the cost of consumer energy and the cost of energy for US manufacturing is also bad for growth. And the dazzler just told us that slow growth was good for inflation. He apparently had a very strange MBA curricula.
-
Joe inherited a mess. Ignoring 2021 "for obvious reasons" is basically the same as saying "I don't like his successes!"—which is your most "obvious reason" to ignore it.
-
He inherited an economic slam dunk. All he had to do was nothing.
-
Joe inherited the biggest baked in economic growth opportunity since the close of WW2. Shut the fuck up about inheriting a mess.
-
The dazzler loves to ignore his cancelling of the Keystone XL pipeline and his open borders policy initiated on day on along with his regulations limiting oil and gas production and promoting chicom growth with his solar and wind power mandates and huge government subsidies. Then his great work on the Make Inflation Greater Act. Biggest employment growth is now government jobs. Always a great growth signal.
-
You chicks were for growth in employment—especially manufacturing jobs—before you were
against itignoring it for "obvious reasons". There hasn't been that kind of employment bounce back from a recession in decades. Manufacturing job growth to well past pre-recession levels? If Daddy had done that you would trumpeting it from the rooftops, because it has never been seen by any of us before in our lifetimes..Joe didn't "do nothing"; he actively promoted legislation that you girls complained bitterly about, and then your team took credit for—after voting against it.
