I see this recovery as accelerating. I believe that a continuing reduction in harmful regulations could give it legs. I believe that Congress reeling in spending could give it stilts.

And replacing the current Marxist income tax code with a pro growth, freedom enhancing code would send it into orbit!

Hopefully the growth will remain "modestly robust" up through the 2020 elections....

The other problem is the debt is growing faster than the economy itself. That will also be a drag on long term growth
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.
