Economy Grows at 3.2% Despite Left’s Predictions of Doom and Gloom

RUSH: So no surprise to those of us in the know. “U.S. Economy Grew at 3.2% Rate in First Quarter,” despite all the media predictions of doom and gloom. And they were rote. And they began last summer. They actually began with the Trump tax cut debates. The Drive-By Media, the Democrat Party, just as they did in 2006, began trying to create a self-fulfilling prophecy of a recession. And the most recent effort began with the Trump tax cut debate.

But we are at 3.2% gross domestic product, economic growth, as I say, after months and months of being told that the sugar high of the Trump tax cuts was gonna wear off quickly and that the economy would never get over 2%. The media found expert after expert after expert, and they all in unison said there was no way, given Trump’s tax cuts, that the economy was gonna grow faster than 2%. And maybe even 1%. Some of them said maybe even 1% because the Trump tax cuts are gonna be such a drag on the economy. Tax cuts a drag on the economy; tax increases boost economic growth. This is what the left would have you believe.

But as usual, all the economists polled by Reuters and all the other Drive-Bys had forecast a 2% GDP. And, as usual, they were wrong. In fact, they were wrong by nearly 50%. But the Reuters economists like the rest of the Drive-By Media economists are always wrong, and somehow they’re always too pessimistic under Trump just like they were always too optimistic under Barack Hussein O.

Here are the Drive-Bys predicting a recession, and this is December 10th and 11th, 2018, coordinated and timed with the government shutdown.
