What the op doesn't understand is that companies must forecast demand, and import products accordingly (I own my own company). THEY (AND I) ARE LITERALLY IMPORTING LESS STUFF THE LAST 6 MONTHS (AND ESPECIALLY NOW) FOR FEAR OF NOT HAVING BUYERS. So in some ways, through import figures and job openings figures, companies best forecast the future state of the economy. Also look at bond yields (demand). All forcast decreased growth in stock market /real economy. BUT. If there's someone who will yank the thing around (for better or worse [but mostly due to politics and dogma])...it'd be Trump. Trump may refuse to allow a recession on his term. Perhaps that's what all this stimulus is. Kicks the can down the road even more, at future expense [of tax payers].
