THE WALL STREET MARKET:
Wall Street as of the October 11, 2018 is down.
The reaction is due to the cause and effect of the recent FED increase in interest rates.
The is no cause other than this is an amount scheduled by the FED back in 2016-2017.
The effect is that the raises are unwarranted and the result is the continuing down trending of the USA economy.
Bond Yield 4.0% Not easy to find.
Bank Interest Rate 1.90%
1 Yr. CD Rate 2.35% to 2.65%
$5,000.00 to $100,000.00
Savings Rates 2.65% to 3.50%
Note: Savings rates on CD have risen. There is a substantial penalty for early withdrawal.

EDITORIAL VIEWPOINT:
The Federal Reserve Board under the Direction of Jeremy Powell is doing less than the expected job to rebuild America.
Can you imagine what it would be like if the FED was free from there actions? They are driving America into the ground with their decisions.
The FED is responsible to America first.

_______________________________________
Editor's Viewpoint: October 2018
With all other major sales figures down, such as Retail Sales at 0.1%. It was one of the lowest gains this year.
The 0.1% gain showed fall is mainly due from car sales and clothing and home furnishings. It was the 3rd similar fall -0.1% in January +0.1 %February and -0.1% in August.
Needless to say the +0.4% average for the year of 2018 is short somewhere between -3.1% to -4.6% percent.
_______________________________________
Editorial Speculation: October, 2018
The economy is not growing as quickly as expected.
Trump has put the FED on notice that he is unhappy with the recent decision of the FED which is to up interest rates.
Actually no decision, as the FED has proceeded exactly with their plan of 2016-17 and not with America's future.
Powell proving that he is a bureaucrat first.

REAL TIME ANALYSIS
Annual Report and Comparison
April 4, 2017
The TRUMP Trek begins to Restore America.
Obama leaves a trail of Debt for Americans.
US NATIONAL DEBT: As Of: 4-4-2018
-$21 TRILLION 115 BILLION Up from
-$19 TRILLION 963 BILLION 1/20/17
National Debt: Notes
In 2008 the National Debt as of January 9, 2008, was 9 Trillion 719 Billion. The National Debt has more than Doubled in the last nine years. -1 Trillion went to the Mortgage Crisis 2008-2009 from the G.W. Bush Administration. An additional 9 Trillion was added to the US National Debt by the Obama Administration. From 2009-2016 the National Debt more than doubled the amount that has been accruing since the 1960's
US GDP GROSS DOMESTIC
PRODUCT: Is Up +879 BILLION to
+$19 TRILLION 865 BILLION
FROM
+$18 TRILLION 986 BILLION
SHOWS SOME SIGNS OF CURRENT AND POTENTIAL GROWTH IF NOT CHOKED OFF
4/2018
US DEBT TO GDP RATIO: (-106.29) ^
Up From 4/2017 -104.49%
Worse in last 12 Months -1.88% ^
This is due to USA Debt exceeds USA Gross Domestic Product. Current Debt is increasing more than the Gross Domestic Product increase year to date.
Obama has increased the USA Dollar Supply
-963 Billion in 12/31/2016
-536 Billion 4/4/2018 Improved
427 Billion fewer dollars printed compared to 12/31/2016 IMPROVED 55%. Result a Lowered USA Debt and public tax burden to date.
Cost to each Taxpayer 12/31/2017
an additional -$2,962.00 Annual.
Down to -$1,629.00 4/4/2018 est.
With no apparent Benefit to the USA Taxpayer.
As of 4/4/2018 - - - - -
The above negative ratio indicates that the USA is spending more money than produces.
In 2018 Congress and President Trump passed 1 Trillion 300 Billion USA Budget.
This is the first realistic US Government increase since 9/11.
Budget Deficit listed below are for each year shown with a similar amount increasing annually for years not shown. Milestones.
Year Deficit Amount
2002 - -$158 Billion - G.W. Bush
2008 - -$459 Billion - G.W. Bush
2012 - -$1 Trillion 87 Billion - Obama
2016 - -$767 Billion - Obama
2017 - -$812 Billion - Obama >Trump
2018 est -$633 Billion - Trump
The increasing Debt of the war effort is approaching 1 Trillion Dollars Annually.
This amount is approximately the same amount that is being added to our National Debt annually. -$1 Trillion Dollars of Taxpayer Liability proposed for 2019.
Approximately -$1 Trillion Dollars of War Debt over the existing 1 Trillion 200 Billion 2018 Budget.
Without the expanding World War effort the USA in a very stretched sense would be within the proposed budget set for 2018.
The USA War Chest is approaching $700 Billion. This is more than 10x that of any other Country in the World.
In comparison, FDR Debt of World War II was -$21 Billion Dollars in 1942 and -$55 Billion in 1943 estimated Annual.
2016:
The Obama Administration and Congress is -$592 BILLION OVER THE 1 TRILLION 100 BILLION US 2016 BUDGET. Expressed as a percentage that is 53.81% ^ over budget. The Obama, US War chest is 548 Billion. The USA is not a healthy economy at this time.
AAmericans Living in Poverty exceed 42 Million or 12.96% 1/2017. This number has improved as of 4/2018 to just over 39 Million. 2017: Americans Living off Food Stamps is 41 Million1/2017. 4/2018: This number has improved to just under 41 Million. Both sets of numbers encompass different Americans with some duplication.
December 31, 2008, Comparison (year-end)
US NATIONAL DEBT:
-10 TRILLION 447 BILLION
US GDP GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT:
+13 TRILLION 976 BILLION
US DEBT TO GDP RATIO: +35.46%
The above positive GDP Ratio reflects a USA economy that has produced more than it has spent.
BOTTOM LINE: 1/31/2017
WORSE 2008 TO 12/31/2016 -41.83%
January 31, 2017 -41.15%
THE USA ECONOMY IS OVER -40.00%
WORSE AS OF JANUARY 31, 2017 THAN
IT WAS IN DECEMBER 31, 2008. Improving
This does not include random Money printing.
AVERAGE INFLATION RATE
COMPARISON
YEARS INFLATION RATE AVERAGE
2017 TO 2018 1.8% Moderate Low
2009 TO 2016 1.4% Recession
2000 TO 2008 2.9% Moderate
America as a Democracy powered by Capitalism should have a positive "Growth at a Rate." This includes Real Estate and Retail Sales as a Country.
In order to do so a 2.5% Inflation Rate is Low and a 3.5% Inflation Rate is Moderate High when compared to USA history and the current Global Economy.

TRUMP ADMINISTRATION:
As the Trump Administration continues to press forward with a America agenda the economy continues to improve somewhat.
Recently the Democrats, which have been going against the administration. Although they did approve by a vote an appointment to the Supreme Court.
The administration in the 3 months it took a loss in rebuilding substantial ground of America.
It seems no matter which way the administration goes there is a Democratic coup that does not want what ever it is.
So far Trump has played a important role in politics and the political structure of America. His accomplishments are many compared to other Presidents in the same time span.
Basically he has a political agenda for the people.
