Where's that 3% growth?
DOTARD is at it yet again, spreading disinformationThe wealthiest in the country do not pay marginal tax rates. They pay cap gains. He can stuff that 'progressive tax rate' up his ass.
no they have not "downsized over tariffs."
any contraction in manufacturing and such is due to GLOBAL SLOWDOWN.
I just gave you an ex with Caterpillar . FFS learn a few things about supply and demand
That's true. I believe all of the billions raised via taxing American consumers is applied to GDP, though. Which was my original point.Find out how many companies have quit or downsized over tariffs.

That is my point, not whatever distraction bullshit Cosmic Shitstain is spreading.
Just when I thought he couldn't fall deeper into the pool of drivel, he amazes me.Wasn't the tax cut supposed to not lead to manufacturing contraction? Wasn't it supposed to lead to all this "business investment"? Wasn't it supposed to increase everyone's wages by $4,000?

The tariffs created a global slowdown.
The government’s latest economic scorecard arrived on Thursday, offering fresh evidence that the economy continues to grow, but at a frustratingly slow pace.
Gross domestic product, which measures the value of goods and services produced inside the United States, grew at a 2.1 percent annual rate between October and December, the same as the previous three months, according to preliminary data released by the Commerce Department. As for 2019 as a whole, the report shows that the economy turned in a weaker annual showing than it did in 2017 and 2018.

I'm old enough to remember when Conservatives said their tax cut would lead to at least 3% growth.

Happy New Year! The U.S. economy has entered 2020 ‘with a little more zip’
In a bigger way than most realize. The wealthiest got their cap gains lowered. They play the market (that's been artificially inflated), and pay almost no taxes on profits. Corporations pay almost nothing in taxes now. Many DO pay nothing. They certainly didn't give out raises, or hire people.And the tax cuts took as much out of the economy as they could as the global economy slowed, and handed almost all of it to the rich.
Q4 2019 GDP growth was only 2.1%.
But I guess that is more "zippy" than the 1.1% GDP growth for Q4 2018.
Still a far cry from the 3% growth that was promised.
2019 ANNUAL GROWTH was 2.4% EXCELLENT.
THREE YEARS RUNNING, ANNUAL GROWTH OF 2-3%...OUTSTANDING...
2016 ANNUAL GROWTH was 1.6%.
