I would certainly put my depreciating money on Porter and Greene over Ashworth any day.

It's curious and a bit of a non-sequitur that Ashworth would change his focus to the Canadian economy, but I suppose that may have been in response to a question and for some reason the writers glossed over the discontinuity.

I've been saying for months now that the US was approaching full employment and was reaching its capacity constraints. Furthermore, Trump's proposed fiscal stimulus, increased debt, tax reductions, decreased financial oversight, and protectionist policies would bring the US economy crashing to a halt.

That alone wouldn't be too bad, except, however you want to say it, when the US sneezes, Canada catches the cold. When the orange-coiffed twitter-fiend-in-chief gets his little hands on the macro levers, we are likely to all be in trouble unless someone with maturity and restraint has the courage to block him. However, these are the same people that gave us the fiscal cliff.
