Essential Economics for Politicians

The economic outlook for 2019, from the perspective of Austrian business cycle theory. The yield curve is close to inverting, and if it continues we should expect a recession by the end of 2019 or, failing that, almost certainly in 2020. There are two types of Fed tightening during this recovery, namely interest rate hikes and a rolloff of the Fed’s bonds. Powell can’t indefinitely postpone the bond rolloff because as interest rates rise, the Fed is paying ever more billions in interest to the commercial banks.—Lara & Murphy


The result of 6 straight years of QE. Fries U! What a deal! Here we go spigot boy! They’ll be calling you to turn the handle soon
 
Not afraid at all. I just told you why google says they do better. You people like patting your Dumbocrats on the back for putting the country in debt like both Clinton and Obama did. All you have to do is look at Bootsie’ s cherry picking of the data. You people crack me up.
It happens over and over again, I detect a trend, vote for Democrats if you want a a strong economy, period.
