Numbers like that and people are going to start liking Trump a whole lot more.
You would think. Oddly enough, there is a large segment of the population that gives credit to Obama for these #'s, even tho these #'s far exceed what we saw during his presidency that ended almost 2 years ago.
These same people blame Trump for any bad, or potentially bad news.
no they will say "just you wait for the revision" only to find out like last time the revision went up and then they still belly ached
last time I checked the Atlanta fed now site, things are still getting revised down a bit (but not a lot). was now below
4%.
The link I posted was current as of Sep 19th and shows 4.4%. Consecutive quarters in excess of 4%. Been a long time since we've seen that.
