There is news today that further bolsters the argument of a growing economy around the country. Third quarter GDP numbers show that the economy grew at an annualized rate of 3.5%.
The 3.5% number beat expectations as Wall Street experts had been expecting a number in the range of 3.3%.
It should be noted that 2nd quarter growth was 4.2%. Still, the President and Republicans can argue that solid growth continues in the wake of a robust set of tax cuts.
