We will soon know how much the GDP grew in 2018 compared to 2017.
Dont let pundits lets say that 3% is OK. Donald Trump promised 4% growth during the campaign in 2016. He made his prediction based on no real analysis whatsoever.
Its 4% growth or bust.

(13,866 posts)1. May be under 3
Read the other day that the fourth quarter could pull it down to 2.9.
Not a big difference between that and 3, but would really piss off Trump. He would probably just call it Fake Statistics.

Or 3. It doesnt feel as if the economy is booming. We seem headed for an economic fall, to say nothing of political and foreign policy destruction.

not so much for those that take a bus.
