I agree. The Fed is behind, as they are always, because they look at indicators in the rear view mirror, not at projections of what is coming down the road right in front of them. I've been watching inversion on the yield curves short dates for over a year now. That was a very early LEADING indicator that we'd see inversion spread to the longer dated bonds. All of this has been happening in slow motion, because Trump has been one heck of a cheerleader for the economy and frankly, I think he's done great things for the economy. However, he's come in at the tail end of the business cycle and has tried to keep the old man economy going until he can get re-elected. So that's why this looming recession is rolling along in slow motion. I don't know if Trump can keep it going with his jawboning long enough to get re-elected. I think it's on its very last legs. We'll see though. I want to see Trump re-elected, because the alternative is socialism, which will destroy the U.S. and usher in a hundred years of Chinese Communist supremacy, with Americans living under that slave-like yolk. But I just don't see how Trump will keep the economy going through November 2020.
