    Post Economic growth for second quarter is on track to double 2017's full-year pace

    Economic growth for second quarter is on track to double 2017's full-year pace. In its most recent forecast, the Atlanta Fed said the three-month period is tracking at a 4.6 percent gain, exactly double the 2017 rate and well above the 2.2 percent in the first quarter. If accurate, the growth rate would easily outdistance the 3.1 percent gain for 2017 in the same three-month period. While running for president, Trump promised his policies would push the economy toward growth he estimated as high as 6 percent. The Atlanta district raised its forecast after a report Friday morning indicating a stronger-than-expected inventory build that raised the forecast one-tenth of a point.

    I know what we should do, let's run on raising taxes.

    I'm just a country lawyer but I said during The One's presidency that they needed to get the jackboot of government off of small businesses' neck before the economy would cook.
