We just have a difference in opinion. There are plenty of numbers out there. Its just how we interpret them.

The definition of a recession is two or more quarters of negative GDP growth. I have to strongly disagree with your prediction of a recession this year or in 2020. Why? The FOMC seems to have backed off of their ridiculous and unnecessary rate hikes. The President is bringing companies back to the U.S., lowering anti-business regulations, and has lowered taxes on businesses. Company earnings are growing, wages are growing and housing is on the upswing again - especially in California, where it is a hot-seller's market again. The only way that a recession would begin in late 2020 is if Americans shoot themselves in the foot and vote for more of the anti-business, anti-freedom Socialists in congress - OR, God forbid, into the presidency.

Expansion followed by contraction? Like clock work. But what has changed, if anything? If we can pretend Trump was president for the last 40 years, how would the American economic cycle look like? Different or the same? Would the fluctuation of the economy between periods of expansion and contraction be similar to our present day cycles? Would it throw a giant monkey wrench into the sequence? How would reshaping American governance have on our economy? what implications it would cast on our present day economic forecasting.? In your life time, have you ever witnessed 7 trillion dollars come back to America? You ever wondered why Trump, just an human being, was able to accomplish so many things in a relatively short time? Especially in the economic front. Trump has disabled the tools of economic suppression, and has turned present day economic forecasting on its heels and undependable, if they were dependable in the first place. I submit, our present day systems of methods of predicting recessions must be altered to reflect the gross changes on how we are managing our economy today. I think we can all agree, at the very least, its different from what we have been accustomed to. IMO and most importantly, the economic moves coming out from the oval office today are based on entirely different motives, which in turn is revolutionary. To sum it up, we have a CEO not a politician, with different motives, as President, modeling economic policies. That should carry a large weight into any visionary economic conjecture.
