This is good news, but it continues to confound mainstream economists, who solemnly predicted at the start of Trump's administration that we faced a "Secular stagnation." Any talk of strong economic growth was a fantasy.
A typical headline about the Trump economy was the one in the Wall Street Journal shortly after he won the election, which said, "Inflation and Interest Rates Forecast to Rise Under Trump Presidency."
If Trump were a Democrat, the news media would be shouting hosannas from every rooftop - instead of braying for Trump's impeachment.
So what changed after the CBO issued its forecast? Trump reversed as many Obama-era policies as he could, as fast as he could.
The one big miss for Trump has been the national debt, which he predicted would be cut down, but which has exploded by nearly $3 trillion on his watch.
As for the rest of Trump's economic program, it's working pretty much as Trump promised.
Whatever one thinks about Trump's tweets or how he conducts himself on the phone, he deserves credit for delivering for the economy.
