Just curious why in a booming economy the deficit is growing. Is that common with an uptick in the economy?

The cost to finance our 20 trillion in debt continues to increase with rising rates. If this trend continues, by 2023 we will spend more to finance our 20 trillion in debt then we spend on our military.

Trump has got to cut spending/reduce rate of spending after the mid terms or this country will be in trouble.

Well, that is going to happen. It may be another 10-15 years but it will happen.

Not likely

Someone still needs to manage the inventory in the truck

Productivity averaged 1.3% the last decade, last quarter 2.9%.

Pretty amazing what is happening.

Not as amazing as you think.

You're comparing convenient numbers. It's not as if in the last decade there wasn't a quarter with 2.9% productivity.

those are both purposeful exaggerations of things he said
