			The President controls very little of the economy.

			In that case, all hail Trump, 4.1% and rising! His current average 2.6% beats Bush II-2 and both Obama terms, so far.

	![]() Current forestland is slowly increasing, the Land Usage site points out; right now it's more than it was for all of the last century. But the Land Usage site measures forestland differently cos their numbers are lower than these. These come from the US Forest Service  |

			I think some subset of blue may also be forest.  I think the green is specifically timber land, where forest is open to logging.
