    Two points on this. First, you're begging for abuse with that comment. Your usual critics have gone surprisingly easy on you. Lol.

    Second, if Twitter is starting to seem worthwhile to you, I think you should get out of the house. If you can't drive with the arm problem, I'd call an Uber or take a bus. Following Twitter is the road to hell. Trump and AOC are big fans of it. What does that tell you?

    The US economy grew 2.9% in 2018
    Highest in 13 years

    Also makes it official that Obama is the only post war president in US history to never have a single year of 3% annual GDP growth.

    I dont think he ever had a single macroeconomics class in his life (but we dont know for sure since he refused to release his release any of his school transcripts)

    Whether he did or didn't is immaterial as we see how well AOC is applying her econ degree.

    I suspect, but admit I cant prove, that Obama agrees with her on many of her wacky ideas. The difference between them is that he is at least smart enough to know he can't admit it publicly.

    Every now and then I like to toss them a softball. If you can't take the piss out of youself sometimes, life is too dull.

    To be clear I'm rarely on twitter. Thought I'd treat the hearing as a simulcast. Some pundits can be funny at times, even insightful on the rare occasion. Overall, most of the drivel is dumb.

    I didn't expect success but was hopeful of movement at the summit. We mutually need success and I hope POTUS eventually achieves it.

    Were I Otto Warmbier's parent I'd be upset after the Press Conference.

    And the only POTUS in history to get the luxury of 0% Fed rates, let alone for most of his administration. Truly an unparalleled record of economic ineptitude. Ironically, the shale boom really bailed Obama out despite his best efforts to hinder it.

    Why treat 0% Fed rates as a luxury when it was the cause of the prolonging of the recession?

    He confuses "news" with "gossip" all the time.

    But to be fair, so do CNN, MSNBC, and most of the other major networks.

    Obama was the cause of the slow economic recovery which prolonged the need for 0% Fed rates.

    Both headlines are irrelevant. Math is hard.

    How did he cause the slow economic recovery except by having the Fed hold rates down? Do you know that that is the mechanism for providing stimulus?

    0% Fed rates themselves are harmful to the economy because they dilute real capital and allow it to be squandered on non value added investments. It is a serious distortion to the economy. It isn't a good thing. Only Keynes thought so, and he has been shown wrong so many times.

    4th_floor Dude, where's my laptop?

    "Math is hard" explains acceptance of a lot of wrong ideas, including that we are doomed because of global warming, er um, climate change.

    You mean other than raising taxes on investments, ridiculous health insurance mandates on businesses, irresponsible deficit spending, and general hateful attitude towards capitalism?
