You can't be that ignorant and not have heard of it.

Thank you for finally answering!

Of course I have heard of that. I asked for clarification of what GFC stood for as it has many meaning wrt to Government, financials and other miscellanies things.

Lol! It's a quarter growth rate annualized, not Year on Year growth rate. When will you understand that?

Absolutely not deflecting as I commented your own post! A single quarter growth rate is meaningless.

Stop gaslighting! The year on year gdp growth rate is 2.3%. 🤣

You made yourself ridiculous again by not understanding the difference between quarterly growth and yearly growth (year on year).

Fiscal policy time lags are typically longer than 6 months, often ranging from 9 to 18 months or more from recognition of an economic issue to the full impact of the policy.

Lol you really put your foot in it lol

That slow growth a year ago was Biden lol

So, according to your new rationale, the good GDP growth rate in Q3 is due to.... Biden! 🤣

You are completely incoherent!

Does that mean that all the so called "facts" you claim crediting any fiscal policy changes to Trump are really just made up and will not start to be verified for maybe 5/6 months?

GDP growth is mostly the top 500 businesses doing well. Nothing much to do with the politicians. It is amazing how you go around talking about Trump and Biden without knowing year 10 economics.

I'm educating you. Amazing you don't actually know a single thing about GDP.

The top 500 companies, particularly the Fortune 500, play a significant role in boosting GDP. In fiscal year 2024, the New American Fortune 500 companies—those founded by immigrants—generated $8.6 trillion in revenue, exceeding the GDP of major economies like Japan, Germany, India, and the United Kingdom. Combined, these firms represent about two-thirds of the U.S. GDP, highlighting their massive economic impact.

Most of it has nothing to do with Trump. Sadly you lefty trolls never studied economics and are obsessed with politicians.

Yet another pointless post by you which does NOT answer a very simple question which only requires a Yes answer with no amplification or a no answer with an explanation.

Here is the question again in case you have forgotten;

Recent research suggests that the direct impact of individual politicians on long-term economic growth is often small or negligible when viewed in isolation. A University of Chicago study found that politicians frequently take credit for economic growth or reduced crime, but statistical analysis reveals their actual influence is limited. While political leadership can shape short-term policy responses—such as during crises—long-term economic trends are more strongly driven by external shocks, institutional quality, political stability, and macroeconomic policies than by specific leaders.

Key findings include:

• Political institutions matter more than individual politicians, especially in low-income or new democracies where effective governance structures are critical for growth.

• Political instability, measured by frequent cabinet changes, significantly reduces GDP per capita growth by undermining policy continuity and deterring investment.

• Democracy itself does not guarantee growth; studies show that measures of democracy have no statistically significant impact on growth when controlling for institutions, stability, and policy quality.

Yet again you are shooting yourself in the foot if your quote is factual.

It implies that you should not be crediting Trump with any impact on the economy or crime after just over a year into this term!
