Driven by expanding trade deficits, declines in consumer confidence & spending and lower levels of private investment

GDP growth has been increasingly due to debt growth (both public and private) to the point where any GDP growth is depending solely on debt growth.
Imagine what that looks like when consumers start defaulting.

Probably because no one bought anything on Friday.

I thought this might happen.
If 20% of the TOTAL budget is fraud, then eliminating that will (short term) drop a nuke on GDP.
Long term this will help though.

Let me guess, we’ll go back to the traditional definition of a recession now.

Any cut on govt spending or employees will impact GDP. It’s a necessary pain.

Businesses are not going to invest / banks are not going to lend in an economic environment that is this uncertain

How do you drive completely off a cliff like this???? Why are the blue chips all solidly in a good place for two months, almost no material changes, then BOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM fricking nightmare territory.
This makes no sense to me.

Have their predictions ever been right? They always revise gdp down during a dem and revise up during a rep. Theyre as reliable as a 1-800 psychic number.

I don't know, it is almost as if there was a disruption to the system a couple months ago and it is now starting to show effects.

Trump is the definition of do something guy.
Things broken and need to fix? Do something
Things working fine as intended? Do something

Wall Street needs a correction so bad. Plus the U.S. needs help pumping those bond prices higher to reduce interest rates as money flows from Wall Street to the bond markets.

Assuming that is correct, why do all the blue chip analysts continue to predict high-2pct growth as if nothing is happening for months, then come out yesterday and say "JUST KIDDING WERE SCREWED"?
Shouldn't that blue line have slowly started to taper downward if something happened a few months ago?
And what are you alluding to? Trump's inauguration? Surely you don't think he can drive the economy off the cliff that fast, do you?
