IMF REPORT: U.S. Economic Growth Expected to Boom Due to Trump Policies


IMF REPORT: U.S. Economic Growth Expected to Boom Due to Trump Policies

After a lackluster out-turn in 2016, economic activity is projected to pick up pace in 2017 and 2018… …This forecast is based on the assumption of a changing policy mix under a new administration in the United States and its global spillovers… …The projection for the United States is the one with the highest likelihood among a wide range of possible scenarios. It assumes a fiscal stimulus that leads growth to rise to 2.3 percent in 2017 and 2.5 percent in 2018...

OT...cut/paste of comment at ConservativeTreehouse:

"the following is long but exposes how complicated these spider webs are, so bear with me if anyone has interest in reading:

After someone posted this Politico article about Ukraine government officials colluding with the Clinton campaign during the election, I skimmed through the article. But, then I decided to try to figure out who all these characters and organizations are, after seeing the name, “Open World Center, a non-partisan agency of the Congress.” Huh?

“Manafort’s work for Yanukovych caught the attention of a veteran Democratic operative named Alexandra Chalupa, who had worked in the White House Office of Public Liaison during the Clinton administration. Chalupa went on to work as a staffer, then as a consultant, for Democratic National Committee. The DNC paid her $412,000 from 2004 to June 2016, according to Federal Election Commission records, though she also was paid by other clients during that time, including Democratic campaigns and the DNC’s arm for engaging expatriate Democrats around the world.”

“Telizhenko recalled that Chalupa told him and Shulyar that, “If we can get enough information on Paul [Manafort] or Trump’s involvement with Russia, she can get a hearing in Congress by September.”

Chalupa confirmed that, a week after Manafort’s hiring was announced, she discussed the possibility of a congressional investigation with a foreign policy legislative assistant in the office of Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio), who co-chairs the Congressional Ukrainian Caucus. But, Chalupa said, “It didn’t go anywhere.”

“Center spokeswoman Maura Shelden stressed that her group is nonpartisan and ensures “that our delegations hear from both sides of the aisle, receiving bipartisan information.” She said the Ukrainian journalists in subsequent days met with Republican officials in North Carolina and elsewhere. And she said that, before the Library of Congress event, “Open World’s program manager for Ukraine did contact Chalupa to advise her that Open World is a nonpartisan agency of the Congress.” Huh?

PatDollard: Former Newspaper Editor Who Exposed CIA, Condemned Muslim Invasion, Found Dead
"German media, who were banned from reporting on his work in recent years, are reporting he died of “heart failure”.

Acknowledging that his life was under threat, Ulfkotte explained that he was in a better position than most journalists to expose the truth because he didn’t have any children who could be threatened.

Speaking to the Russian newspaper Russian Insider, Ulkfotte said: “When I told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (Ulfkotte’s newspaper) that I would publish the book, their lawyers sent me a letter threatening with all legal consequences if I would publish any names or secrets – but I don’t mind. You see, I don’t have children to take care of.“

******

Is this why the German government was giving millions to Clinton Foundation each month......
