As you were told at the time you were merrily parroting Trump's 6 percent growth bullshit, it wasn't going to happen. 2 to 3 percent is the best that can be expected on an annualized basis. And, guess what? That is exactly what happened. You were convinced that the tax cut was going to finally boost the growth above what was achieved under Obama. That never happened. Nor did the growth noticably change from before the tax cut. In fact, it looked very much like it did under Obama. Sure, there were individual quarters where it got above 3 percent. But it never got above 4 percent like it did under Obama.

You spout so much bullshit about the economy and none of it ever pans out. Why is that?

it is a direct result of the corporate tax cuts
Milton Friedman often noted that when you cut taxes but don’t cut spending to match, you are not cutting taxes but merely delaying them. And total spending has not been reduced; it has been raised.
