It's the Economy, Stupid

Wage increases reported by highest number of companies in 18 years, survey finds.

WSJ: The New Tax Law Is Roaring Through U.S. Companies.
“Just weeks after the federal government adopted the biggest tax overhaul in three decades, the effects are rippling through corner offices and boardrooms, with companies large and small dusting off once-shelved plans, re-evaluating existing projects and exploring new investment in factories and equipment.”


It never gets old:
"If the question is when markets will recover, a first-pass answer is never."

It's the Economy, Stupid

I'm willing to accede that "it is the economy, stupid," but I realize too that it's also this:

It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a "dismal science." But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance.
-- Murray N. Rothbard
​

What does it take to exit the state of ignorance about economics? Well, minimally, mastery of the concepts and analytical techniques one learns here (or in similar places):

• Fall 2017
• Spring 2018

Armageddon for the Dems. I don't know what they can say in the face of this kind of positive economic growth. I don't why anybody in his/her right mind would vote democratic, they got nothing going for them right now.
