What are you basing your estimates on? Just wondering.

Retail sales nationally have been running at an 11% increase for 8 weeks.

They say that the consumer is about 2/3 of the economy.

That puts growth at about 7%.
And business spending is up.

The tax cuts are just beginning to kick into gear and the consumer sentiment continues higher each month.

We might see 8% growth in one quarter between now and next summer....and that's nearing the pace of China.

Wait till the Democrats choke on that news!!

I certainly hope you're right. I also hope that the retail sales are being paid for in cash and not on credit cards.
