The longest economic expansion in American history is 120 months.
The Trump budget projects our current expansion will surpass 220 months of consecutive growth.
the beginning of the end of America the world superpower (or are we in the middle already?)

As a candidate, Trump promised to eliminate $19 trillion in debt over 8 years.
Instead, by his own very rosy scenario, he will add almost $1 trillion per year to the debt.
White House response is that you shouldn't take Trump's promises literally.
Of the US as a superpower...I agree. Of the US as the main broker of power in a unipolar world?
That Imo is clearly ending way before it otherwise would have.
America's internal fights will take away from its international power.
