President Donald Trump is well aware that the U.S. economy is just a few short weeks away from setting a record for the longest expansion ever, but he knows the business cycle has not been repealed and the next economic downturn is always lurking.

What the author didn't point out here is that U.S. expansions have almost consistently become longer and weaker over time. That's why we're celebrating a 3% growth rate that would have seemed almost like a depression 30 years ago ... even while we're in the midst of a "record" expansion.

These are classic characteristics of a nation with an aging population and a fascist economic model.

The globalist and the GOPe colluders shipped a lot of the manufacturing base overseas so 4% or 5 % GDP growth rate may no longer be possible in the USA. During past recoveries our often maligned factories would be adding shifts and producing more goods , wealth and generating a huge secondary economy. We Free Traded all of that growth potential away.

Thanks for nothing Free Traitors™.
