like everyone in Trumps cabinet, we was hired to do one job...and that job is to be a staunch loyalist who just runs interference and sings the praises of dear leader no matter what.
I can’t blame them at this point. This is Fox News. They clearly know their audience. They can blatantly lie to them and make stuff like this up and their audience eats it up.
They sure can and sure do already. They can tell as big of a lie as they want.
"Soon you'll be getting $10k checks from the tariffs! No, no, $15k!"
[Later] "You would've gotten those checks, but the Democrats blocked it and gave it to trans people and immigrants! Grrr! Vote for Republicans again to get it back!"
It did. Up 4.3% in the third quarter. But that report didn’t include the impact of the government shutdown. And consumer confidence has taken a major hit. Economists expect all of that to really take a bite out of the fourth quarter report.
As I suspected…..good number but ignoring the underlying issues that will negate the gains because in all honesty most watching that segment only have the brain bandwidth to absorb “all of us 4.3% more money”
It’s crazy how this admin doesn’t understand economic scale changing as long term impact gets factored in. It’s like their reaction with the jobs report back in the summer: yeah, total job numbers fell, bc more data came in showing that more jobs than they initially measured had been lost. It’s likely more data will come in that’ll change how this quarter is viewed, too, even as they’re touting this supposed major success
Loool. I’m in lower middle management (fist level, literally) at an F500, in one of the moron’s “golden child” industries. Nobody below a director level is seeing anything north of 3% this year, with an average coming in at 2% because that’s what the board has allocated as budget.
We had two consecutive years of 4.5 averages for us plebs over the previous administration.
That's not how this works! That's not how any of this works!

Where?
I hope they let my boss know!
Although hard to ignore his stupid assertion…..has the US economy actually grown 4.3%?

I mean, like they said, it was a Q3 report covering July to September.
Of course it's not going to cover events that happened in Q4.

Surrrrrrrrrrrrre
Unemployment 4.6 going straight for 5
From what I know Lutnik is a smart and respectable businessman. To see him turn into this act is just sad.
And a smart and respected businessman is as much a grifter as anyone in the current scam, if not more.
Agreed
Fucking dip shit must not be a real economist. How come these assholes never talk about GDI or GINI?
Cool. Tell my employer please.

Fuck nutlick and his second grade math education.
Even major financial firms are calling the number bullshit. One prominent firm gave an estimate of 0.8%.
Like anyone listens to Howard Dicklick.
