“Economists are divided about when the next U.S. recession will arrive, but they largely agree on this: the country will need to fight it with a massive fiscal program, and be ready to swallow deficits that may eclipse the trillion-dollar shortfall run by the Trump administration this year.”
USAGOLD note: Nice to know that the economists in attendance were all on the same page about infrastructure spending even if it was written in a lot of red ink. . . . . The real question is how far the federal government will go over that $1 trillion deficit, i.e., if $1.5 to $1.75 trillion is a more realistic target zone.
