Ho. Lee. Crap.

If you're of a age as me...  (cough*cough*theanswertolifetheuniverseandeverything*cough*) then you might not have ever lived in America with a GDP growth rate this large.

The economy is on track to put up blockbuster growth numbers in the first quarter, according to the latest forecast from the Atlanta Fed. 
GDP is expected to surge 5.4 percent to start 2018, the central bank branch estimated in its latest rolling look at how the economy is progressing. 
If the forecast holds, it would be the best quarter since the Great Recession ended in 2009. The previous highest was third quarter of 2014, which hit 5.2 percent.

The kids who have been born since I graduated hah skool have never really seen this kind of economic growth.  They might have been alive, but they weren't actually aware of what this kind of economic growth means.

Helloooooooooooo, Trump economy!
