Data Point Last Quarter’s GDP number: 4.1% in context
Steve actually broke the news here but narrative and numbers are great, I just prefer charts. For me, they give more context and a data element without context is useless. You want to see trends:
Trump Keeps ‘Winning’
It looks like the economy has managed to push aside the smothering pillow of Obamanomics.
The Commerce Department reported Friday that the economy grew at a pace of 4.1 percent in the second quarter, propelled by consumer spending in another win for Mr. Trump’s policies of lower taxes and fewer regulations.
The growth was the fastest since 2014, following first-quarter growth of 2.2 percent that was revised up from 2 percent.
The suffocating “cultural” blanket of Obamanomics is wearing thin as well.
Consumption doesn’t drive growth, it’s a consequence of growth
I found this in an article I shared over at The New Media Militia on how Obama’s Cash for Clunkers Boondoggle (which also belongs to NH Rep. Carol Che-Porter and Sen. Greene Jeanne Shaheen) was a total failure.

There is No Ball
Do New Hampshire Democrats have their priorities straight? Think about it. The economy is creeping along. No one is projecting even moderate growth. Employment is likely to remain flat which means unemployment is as well. All in all, the best we can hope for, according to all the ‘experts’ is to drift along for a while. So what are New Hampshire Democrats doing?
In one of the safest states in the nation, with some of the most–dare I say liberal–gun laws in the country, they are investing their energy on harassing a Republican Senator (Kelly Ayotte) who doesn’t even have to run for office until 2016, over a vote that wouldn’t even do much if any good to solve the problem they claim it is meant to resolve; while at the exact same time, asking New Hampshire taxpayers to let them grow the size and cost of government as much as 10%.
Economy sucks, maybe 2% growth if we’re lucky over the next few years–New Hampshire Democrats want to give the government a permanent 9-10% raise.
Talk about not keeping your eye on the ball.
Wait. This is supposed to be like the Matrix, right. There is no ball. Look- Ayotte!
New Hampshire Advantage Strikes Again
