    Beaulieu Forecast Calls for Good First-Half 2018

    Written by John Packard


    Economist Alan Beaulieu of ITR Economics spoke at the HARDI annual meeting where he advised HARDI wholesalers to expect good results during the first half of 2018. After that, there will be a slowing in the rate of growth that will continue into 2019.

    He told the group that 2019 could be a test year for the U.S. economy. It will also pave the way for the “roaring twenties” after which we then transition into a Great Depression by 2030. Remember the tens of trillions of dollars in debt the U.S. Congress has been building over the past 40 years? Payback time will result in the Great Depression.
