Good News on the Economy

Word today of solid economic growth in the third quarter, as GDP was up 3%. This is very good news.

I got in a little social media discussion this morning with someone who brought this up and asked me how I could be so anti-Trump when "he was doing so well". I managed what I thought was a good answer, but it pales in comparison to a much better one I saw offered elsewhere on Twitter:

Friend: How can you criticize Trump when 3Q17 GDP was 3%?
Me: Did you say same re Obama in 4Q09, 2Q10, 4Q11, 3Q13, 4Q13, 2Q14, 3Q14, 1Q15?

In other words, consistency counts.
