Reason #5912 That Trump Was Elected

Unexpectedly, U.S. fourth-quarter growth revised up to 2.9 percent; consumer spending surges

U.S. economic growth slowed less than previously estimated in the fourth quarter as the biggest gain in consumer spending in three years partially offset the drag from a jump in imports.

Gross domestic product expanded at a 2.9 percent annual rate in the final three months of 2017, instead of the previously reported 2.5 percent, the Commerce Department said in its third estimate for the quarter on Wednesday. That was a slight moderation from the third quarter’s brisk 3.2 percent pace.

The upward revision to the fourth-quarter growth estimate also reflected less inventory reduction than previously reported. Economists polled by Reuters had expected that fourth-quarter GDP growth would be revised up to a 2.7 percent rate.

Does anyone seriously think the economy would be rolling along as well if Hillary, and her business killing (when they aren't accepting bribes contributions) henchpeople were in charge?
