2017: Certainly A Recession Year

2017 should certainly be a recession year officially. Again, I still think that after the election we could get some official downward revisions to prior GDP numbers that would officially date the beginning of this recession to sometime in 2016 but the last thing the Government wants to do is to acknowledge that fact before the election.

The U.S Economy Is Getting Weaker And Weaker

We are already decelerating, we are already going downhill. We have already passed the peak of economic expansion. We are contracting and we are either nearing recession or already in one. But the longer we go in time the weaker the economy is going to get.

U.S. Economy: Inflation & Economic Growth

Inflation does not cause economic growth and economic growth does not cause inflation. Governments cause inflation by creating money and economic growth comes from savings and investing. And how do you get savings and investment? You have sound money, low inflation, you have few regulations, you have low taxes, you have limited government. That is what grows an economy.
