Bravo by the way, the last couple of days have been comedy gold watching you making a show of yourself.I think they already know they were dead wrong about Tariffs and Stagflation.
You’re the only idiot that’s still talking about it and that still listens to the people with a poor track record.
Now that’s comedy Gold!Yeh they all knew they were wrong but went ahead and published their models anyway for a laugh.
They are all wrong.
Literally dozens of the most respected economists on the planet.
Maybe they should try Facebook for their info instead.

Good luck!

oh and then PWBM who are global experts on this kind of stuff.
and the joint committee on taxation.
and the Centre on Budget and Policy Prioritees
and the Brookings and Urban Institute think tanks.
But I guess they are all just "liberal myths" again right?It’s your understanding and interpretation of the Data which is your problem.
You don’t understand what it all means.
Glad we figured out why you are so off on all your predictions.
Hope this helps.
I suggest you catch a clue.in which way should in interoret "this will add $360bn to the US national debt every year"?
is it some kind of special code for special people?

The same tax cut you're own government estimate they will add $360bn to the national debt every year?
and then you tell be to read up on economics? who says they dont get irony in americaShowing your ignorance again. Tax cuts means a stronger consumer, a stronger consumer means an increase in tax revenue. Poor old Goose can’t see past his own nose.
Are these the so called experts the same ones who told you we were heading for Stagflation ?

The shrinking imports number is what is driving 2% of that GDP growth figure.
Such an important indicator of domestic demand isn't a silly negative. It just underlines everything I have been telling you.
Meantime the US nation debt grew by $6bn s day in Q4. One of the fatest debt accumulation periods in US history. Are you gonna pretend that doesnt matter either?Increase in GDP and lower interest rates will help tackle the debt. Wait till the tax cuts kick in!

domestic demand has dropped off and in turn so have imports.
strip those out and you have c2.75% of growth and an economy running on services, credit and tech capex.
i feel like i should start charging you a fee for all this teaching, you've learned a lot these last couple of days.I see you forgot to mention exports are up, the 100’s of Billikns in new Tarriff money and the huge reduction in the trade deficit numbers.
Yeah you keep picking out whatever silly negative you can find, I’ll focus on what matters.The driver of the net exports number is the significant drop off in imports (demand).

I know big numbers scare you. What usually happens is the headline number drags the micro numbers upward with time, once the data centers are built and are functional. But don’t let that scare you.
I’ll be back with more good news as the year progresses. Keep it tuned!its the same data less net exports & inventories. But i'm sure you already knew that.........

It would be a shame if the alliance came to an end though, who knows, you might need us again one day, if it all came on top in an invasion of a superpower like Grenada

I know it hurts!That's why i offered to walk you through the numbers.
The idea of domestic final demand clearly goes over your head.Oh picking your data points again?

if anything does happen to Britain, I'm sure the US can steam in near the end.
