US economy: 3.3 shocking 4th quarter growth!!!

[UW_Doog_Bot]

Boy….that 2.8 % growth in consumption really must hurt you guys. That runs counter to the BS you guys have been peddling for months lol.

What's the usual growth % for consumer spending in q4?

 

[pawz]

The year 2023 grew 2.5% vs the killer 1.9% growth in 2022 vs 2021. Also, government spending as a % of GDP grew 3.5% vs 2022. It's booming all right.

Against the headwinds of the increased interest rates that was design to slow down the growth of the US economy, those numbers are blistering. Trump could barely pull those numbers with near zero interest rates.

Jesus christ.

Can't wait for HuskyBuck to tell us we don't know enough about MMT.[/i][/b]

Great call.

He learned everything you need to know about MMT from MSNBC. All you need to know in one sound bite.

 

[HuskyBuck]

Lol….I effing love it…..”Real Americans” cheer against America when good economic news comes out because it doesn’t match their narrative.

Man it must hurt. And PS, I get my news from Fox Business News! Look at the link I used! Some real geniuses in here, maybe that explains why their finances aren’t in order lolololol.

33 trillion in debt and still going, 1.375 trillion deficit in '22, but throw money at Ukraine and Israel

inflation at 9.1 percent not long ago

10 million illegals, I mean "asylum seekers" in 3 years

nothing to be critical of at all

Deficits are a problem, no question about it. I 100% agree with you. But why are you calling it out now? Every single president in my lifetime has run a deficit minus Clinton for 2 years.

You must have been REALLY pissed off during the Trump years then? Right Bill? You're not a hypocrite are you?

Yes, many of us were. You weren't here hth.

Lots of us didn't like the Trump checks either.

What percentage of the 3.3% growth was the private sector as opposed to government spending increases made with money borrowed from future growth?

Clinton never actually ran a true surplus. He borrowed from social security to show a fake surplus. It was still a good performance though relatively speaking.

Regardless, even if you account for that then he came the closest to running that surplus but that wasn’t the point of my comment.

Calling out Biden now for deficit spending is disingenuous because everyone runs deficits. Trump did worse damage if that irritates you now.

Don't look at me, I voted for Ron Paul in 2008 and 2012.

Clinton also had to deal with an actual fiscal conservative republican speaker of the House in Newt.

Buck can't connect the Reagan revolution to the good Clinton economy which continued the growth

W started two wars and then Obama brought the shitty policies that Biden brought back

Trump had a better economy.

And a growing lead daily

I respect that. The one thing I respect about Ron Paul is that he stuck to his guns. He didn’t dance on both sides of the fence when it suited him.

People forget Obama started 7 wars. People forget that.

Nobel Peace Prize indeed.

I don’t see how Biden can brag about the economy when most people are pretty down on their personal situation and cost of living

Feels like a mistake

The fourth-quarter data provided more evidence that the recovery remains on solid footing. Consumer spending, the bedrock of the U.S. economy, grew at a 2.8 percent annual rate, only modestly slower than the prior quarter. The housing sector, which was battered by high interest rates in 2022 and early 2023, grew modestly for the second quarter in a row. Businesses stepped up their investment on equipment. Personal income rose faster than prices as the strong job market continued to benefit workers[/i].[/b]

Gotta admit, watching you guys try to spin doctor this information has been more entertaining than the Barbenheimer double header!!!

Always great when consumer spending increases less than the inflation rate. Booming I say!

You gotta excuse SheDog……I already knew the guy can barely read.

Are you just the alt of @HHusky, or only his lover?

So you practice whataboutism, while complaining about others doing it.

Wow. @HuskyBitch is a Hypocrite, too. Whaddayaknow?

Haven’t been to the tug in awhile. Is @HuskyBuck on the same level as @HHusky in faggotry?

Seems like she might even have taken the lead.

Who could imagine that the federal government pumping hundreds of billions into the economy might lead to minimal growth?

With the taxpayer money being spent in government work projects, 10% GDP should be the expectation because this is unsustainable. Almost hope Biden wins so it will exacerbate the upcoming chaos and the fat, happy Democrats dependent on their government salaries/retirements/contracts will be blindsided by it.
