Re: FogSailing's Account Talk
So, for the first time in many years the GOP control the political agenda of our country. The have the White House, the Senate, and the House and even a majority of State Governors. It’s time to see all the growth they always promise. A very good opportunity for redemption from the mess they left last time. I’m routing for them to get it right this time.
But the reason for my post is this: I would like to get some input about any benchmark\s you think would a good measure of the economy (i.e. we're better off now than we were in 2016) for 2 years down the line. It could be GDP, DJI price, housing market, unemployment, tax rates, wars, debt reduction, etc from November 2016.
In BURRO fashion, I think it would be fun to establish some "expected parameters of success" and then set up something similar to what Tom does for the Jobs Report, and see who are the best 5 prognosticators of the nations condition TWO YEARS from now; just before the next mid-term elections. We could even all provide a little TSP Silver to the pot and pay out to the top 5 for example.
Just an idea. let me know if any of you would be interested.
