"In the third quarter, private GDP — consumer spending plus business investment — contributed 1.39 percentage points to GDP. By comparison, private GDP grew by 4% a year during the Reagan and Clinton expansions. "
"As a result we are lowering our early estimate for Q4 GDP growth from 3.0% to 2.5%."

The US Economic engine will chug along when these idiots get out of the way.
Which part of real after tax income declining is confusing?
