Early last year, I predicted a growth in the US economy for the year
(in RGDP) of 2.3%.
I based this on the consistent dependance of economic growth on the
year during the terms of Republican presidents. The prediction was
greeted by a good deal of scoffing. The (preliminary) results are in.
2.2%
Not bad.
Now, history would predict helathy growth this year, but I'm not going
to follow history this time.
