Of course I get snarky responses even though every single one will agree that the Clintons and the DNC did Bernie wrong.

TPS Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 The most recent deficit data makes it clear the Trump economy has been juiced by the bigger deficits created by the tax cuts and spending increases. For the 2018 calendar year, which coincides with the tax cuts and some spending increases, the deficit is up 28%, from $680 billion to $872 billion. That $190 billion jolt, by my estimate, is equivalent to 1% of Nominal GDP. Revenues were down 0.4% and spending was up 4.4%. The first estimate of 2018 Real GDP growth will be published 2/28 and is expected to be in the 3-3.5% range. https://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-tax-revenue-declined-0-4-in-2018-11550084426 The Treasury's most recent monthly statement provides detailed data for the first quarter of the government's fiscal year, which begins on 10/1. From Oct to Dec, Total revenues are up by close to $12 billion, but personal and corporate tax revenues are down by $24 billion. Individual revenues are down from the previous year by $13 billion for the quarter despite more people working; and corporate revenues are down $11 billion. The areas that made up for the lower revenues from the tax cuts were SS (up about $18 billion--from more workers), and tariffs and excise taxes each added $8 billion. https://www.fiscal.treasury.gov/files/reports-statements/mts/mts1218.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Commerce Department said on Thursday retail sales tumbled 1.2 percent, the largest decline since September 2009 when the economy was emerging from recession. Data for November was revised slightly down to show retail sales edging up 0.1 percent instead of gaining 0.2 percent as previously reported.

While it is good to cut corporate taxes to be more competitive with other advanced countries, it does not do much for corporate investment spending. They did give corps the ability to fully expense some equipment last year, which helped in Q1, but most of the money has gone to buybacks. 2. What trickled down to the bottom 90% helped last year, and provided an extra spurt when consumers increased debt-financed spending, but, yes, that jolt is wearing off. Most predictions I've seen for this year suggest growth will be near 2% again. The one possible boost this year could come from Trade depending on how things turn out...
