The question is not will there be an economic slowdown, it is when and how bad will it be? The elephant in the room that no one wants to address is our unsustainable national debt, which has never grown either so large or faster. It is not political since both parties are responsible and no one from either side wants to address it. Pretty soon 100% or countries revenue wii be needed to service the interest on its debt! Just look at Greece or Puerto Rico as examples of what unstanable debt eventually leads to. The bigger the debt gets, the worse things will be when the bubble eventually bursts.
