One thing that should put a damper in your assessment is the growing budget deficit that is largely driven by corporate and personal income tax revenues falling far short of their projections.

The U.S. economic growth isn’t being driven by productive activity anymore. It’s being driven by massive government spending in increasingly useless and unproductive crap. Think of a $6 billion “investment” in an EV battery plant as a perfect example of this.

I wasn't making an assessment, I was describing the current state of the economy (i.e., the economy is stronger than it otherwise would be given the incompetence of DC).

An implosion of the country for whatever reason will certainly affect the economy.

Correction: I wasn't making an assessment of the future state of the economy.

Sorry bout that.
