  1. While we might make minor adjustments when we get Thursday's data on durable goods, international trade, and inventories, right now our model forecasts real GDP expanded at a 3.6% annual rate in Q3. If so, the real economy grew at a 3.1% pace in the past year, a roughly 50% acceleration from the 2.1% growth rate that defined the Plow Horse Economy from mid-2009 through early 2017. It's clear that cutting tax rates and slashing red tape have boosted economic growth. And there is room to run. We don't see a recession coming for at least the next two years, and potentially much longer.
  2. Just remember that what Obama accomplished began at the depths of a very bad recession. In other words, he began at the bottom where the economy had nowhere to go but up ( keeping in mind that there has NEVER been a recession from which we did not recover) It wasn't the same for Trump. GDP is the broadest measure in reflecting the health of the economy.
  3. The US economy is red hot. GDP growth is running at about 4% for both 2Q and 3Q. Final sales have been so strong companies have been unable to keep up with the demand, putting downward pressure on inventories. Despite an increasing scarcity of available workers, payroll employment growth has accelerated from an average of 182,000 last year to 208,000 this year
  4. But you gotta remember that she "cares" more.
  5. It also means that she has less Native American lineage than the average American.
  6. I am guessing that he meant that they will be better than what most are expecting from them for this year.
  7. I am sorry, sir, but that means you don't respect women!!!!!!!
  8. But I am sure you will hear something like " yes, the number is good but it has been achieved during the tenure of a person who is not very nice and who nominates beer drinking, ice cube throwing, serial rapists for the Supreme Court. Where are the good old days where could count on Keith Ellison, Anthony Weiner and Elliot Spitzer to represent us with integrity?
  9. How can you say that? Aren't they the party of compassion? Aren't they the party of tolerance and civility and equal treatment for all? Arent they the party that protect women and other minorities from white male Christians? Aren't they the party that wants free healthcare for everyone.? Aren't they the party that has the most transparent administration in history? I gotta tell ya, LRF, you must be wrong.
  10. The ISM non manufacturing index was expected to come out at 58 but came out at 61.6 which is the highest number in 20 years. Will Mr. Obama claim that he "built this"? The ISM Non-Manufacturing Index is an index based on surveys of more than 400 non-manufacturing firms' purchasing and supply executives, within 60 sectors across the nation, by the Institute of Supply Management (ISM).
  11. None of that matters because sometimes he says "mean things" and that is what is important. About the same as Mr. Kavanaugh threw ice at someone when he was 17 and Romney bullied a classmate 55 years ago.
  12. what are dates of EC Holiday classic please?
  13. Amazon announced today that all employees will be earning a minimum of $15 per hour. For many, it is impossible to imagine this can happen by virtue of free markets rather than government edict. I wish to give the lefties a clue about this. Everyone is much better served with the market making these decisions rather than a few politicians.
  14. Another delivery by the President as per his campaign promises. Imagine that!!!!!!
  15. I think most everyone ( even though lefties will disavow in spite of not being THAT ignorant) that the purpose of this additional time is NOT to help in assessing the veracity of Mr. Kavanaugh.
  16. Will Peter Strzok and Lisa Page be conducting the investigation ? Will Rod Rosenstein have a hand in this? If the investigation takes place and no further evidence is discovered, will any of the democrats change their vote to support Mr. Kavanaugh?
  17. I will also offer this. Mrs. Ford stated that Kavanaugh was on top of her but when Mr. Judge bounced onto the bed, it somehow freed her. I am going to suggest that if a guy is on top of a female and holding her down with his hand over her mouth and the bed breaks, he will still be on top of her and she will be in no better position to escape than before the bed broke.
