Why didn't silver rise more in the past year?

INCLUDING getting another $2-3 TRILLION dollars repatriated into the USA

Yeah I'll have a round of whatever it is you're drinking.

FACT: Under Socialist Rule the past 8 years prior to Trump, GDP never had a year above 3%, with a 1.8% average.

Actually, it averaged 2.1%, which is damn good following the second worst recession following the great depression. The last time annual GDP percentages exceeded 4% was just months prior to the tech bubble burst in 1999-2000. Fourth quarter of 2017 was a mere 2.6%.

Good luck sustaining growth above 3% in the US beyond the occasional fiscal quarter... do we have another Great Depression immediately followed by a World War in order to boost wartime economic production to support that?

You realize that even China, a surging global economic superpower, in a an industrialized economy that only entered the modern era less than 50 years ago, could only sustain less than half of what you're projecting for the US? And they were only able to do it on the backs of a population exceeding well over 1 billion humans and using slave labor and breakneck, sweat shop production to do so? They've leveled off at just above 6.5% with 5.03 times the workforce population as America has, three times as much irrigated landmass, greater amount of untapped natural resources, a lower unemployment rate, and they've done it all with practically zero regulations.

They're the world leader in gross value of industrial output; mining and ore processing, iron, steel, aluminum, and other metals, coal; machine building; armaments; textiles and apparel; petroleum; cement; chemicals; fertilizer; consumer products (including footwear, toys, and electronics); food processing; transportation equipment, including automobiles, rail cars and locomotives, ships, aircraft; telecommunications equipment, commercial space launch vehicles, satellites... and....even after WE buy all of their shit from them, they still can't sustain above 7%, not even half of your pipe dream for the US GDP growth rate.

You think the US with one fifth the workforce and an expectation of making more than $3 an hour is going to magically start pumping out a GDP over 4% for more than perhaps one good quarter out of one good year? Yikes.

I can type FACT in all capitals too. It doesn't mean its going to come true. And I'm someone who crawled out from the deep dark pits of the rust belt, and I guarantee you, nothing has improved economically in that region anywhere near as much as the East and West coasts.
