An economic reminder. When Obama almost topped 5% GDP just 4yrs ago not a con said a word.

You obviously do not understand what these charts represent. They measure the growth rate not the growth itself.

That's not growth that we normally have
THE SLOWEST RECOVERY IN OUR HISTORY.

if this was due to obama why didn't we see anything

Amazing how quickly the economy improves when you simply remove the heavy boot of progressive policies...

 

[Bugsy McGurk]

It's no different than what Trump does.
They just convinced themselves that the lies they make up are true.

Dear Leader Trump of the Orwellian Republic of Trumplandia tells them - believe him; not your own eyes. They abide.

An absurd lie. There was one stimulus under Obama in his first year, followed by relentless sabotage by the GOP when they took control of Congress in 2010. And even with that, we recovered from the epic GWB economic catastrophe and enjoyed record shattering streaks of jobs growth and economic growth.

Deficits are (by definition) "stimulus" (not to mention $3.7 trillion in Quantitative Easing that lasted up until late last year) - go read up on Keyne's theories.

More nonsense. Deficit spending is stimulative (or tax cuts to consumers who will spend it) if added to the deficits that existed. Obama reduced the deficit he inherited throughout his term, primarily through very low rates of growth, historically speaking, in discretionary federal spending.

Trump, on the other hand, is on pace to double the deficit level he inherited.

As always, you have things precisely backwards.

couldn't have. the upturn started with deregulation of obama's job-killing regulations.
Truth is painful when it goes against all that you believe in.

The upturn started in 2010 with first stimulus and then a trough in the boom-bust cycle.

 

[EatTheRich]

The charts clearly show the up tic after Obama left office. Anyone suggesting it was due to anything but the end of the disastrous Obama economic agenda is being disingenuous.

Cherry-picked charts with data about marginal phenomena selected for their fit to the narrative and not for their relevance to people’s lives.

And Obama cut the deficit by more than 2/3 while Trump increased it by 50% ... so whose economy got a boost from deficit spending and whose saw growth in the face of fiscally conservative policies?

no the upturn did not start until 2016 after the election are you saying 1.6 is an upturn from 2.6?

I’m saying growth is growth. If you’re claiming growth is accelerating under Trump I think you’re deluded and most economists agree. Obama posted two years of growth in a row (2014 and 2015) that were each higher than the previous year. I sincerely doubt Trump will ever do that.

How is 7 steady years of economic growth, following a precipitous crash, not an upturn?
