I guess the gop taking over congress help “reel” in some of the spending in his second term.
And yes I am aware the continued deficits spending that is still going on.
Success for a country coming out of the worst recession in our lifetimes? Yes, I think so. And it certainly illustrates how pedestrian Trump's 4% in the Q2 '18 was. BTW, 2017 sported 2.3%
ANNUAL GDP growth.
Even Lou Dobbs pulled that "I thought Barry said 3% was the new normal". Evidently, he and his Walmart listeners don't know the difference between quarterly and annual numbers.
And whatever "reeled" in Obama's spending, the fact is the annual deficit decreased substantially during his presidency. Unlike Trump, where with both houses republican, the deficit increased 17% yoy 2017 to 2018. Now THAT's winning.
