_______________________________________ FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD 8-23-2018
Overall USA Economy continues to downtrend. Real Estate Home Sales are (-0.70%) for July 2018. The 4th straight month of negative Home Sales Results Nationwide.
RETV.News _______________________________________ EDITORIAL VIEWPOINT:.... The Federal Reserve Board Chair and Board of Governors share the concept of the socialist economic agenda.
Until their position changes or a change is made Americans and America as a Country will remain a more socialist like country ( a ruling party ruling the people) rather than a Democracy where you can achieve the "American Dream".
Trump's position is the American Dream that he is being battled on as he continues to achieve the reinstatement of the American Dream.
The opposing Democratic Party constitutes doesn't want any achievements because it takes away their power over the people.
That's really all your voting on in the next election. No Dream or the American Dream. RETV.News 8-23-2018 _______________________________________ REAL ESTATE 8-23-2015 USA HOME SALES Down (-2.6%) in 2018 MEDIAN PRICE - Down Month to Month 7-31-2018 $269,600 6-31-2018 $276,900 5-31-2018 $264,800 4-30-2018 $257,490 revised 3-15-2018 $240,000 2/13/2017 $246,800 11/30/2017 $248,000 9/30/2017 $245,100 8/30/2017 $253,100 7/30/2017 $263,800 _______________________________________ Editor's Viewpoint: Real Estate values continue to increase as only the wealthier American can buy.
FED's higher interest rates continue to squeeze Americans away from Home, Retail and Auto purchases.
For this reason Nationally for the first 6 months of 2018 Home Sales are Down (-2.6%) an Overall Average
Currently it takes 50% of Americans, a husband and wife working two jobs to reach the average income level in America today of about $56,516.
Over 50% of Americans are at the poverty income level. About 30% of the USA full time workers are also on food stamps.
The Median Income for a individual today, in 2018 is $32,111. In the year 2000 it was $31,514. The individuals personal income has Not Increased in 17 years.
Consumer Prices have increased 42.44% from 2000 to 2018. _______________________________________
Editorial Speculation: August 23, 2018
As the Big Picture of the overall USA Economy continues to improve there is still no stimulus plan in place to jump start the stagnate personal income economics. Tax breaks are not enough.
The FED is continuing with the Democratic plan from the 2008-2016 administration that has driven the Americans into a depressed financial position.
This is evidenced by a negative Real Estate Market nationwide for 2018- 20171nd 2016 and so on back to 2008.
The result of the home prices going up today and accompanied by negative Real Estate growth just means that real estate can only be purchase by the more wealthy American. The upper 50%.
When the Democratic led FED shut down the First Time Home Buyers re-entry into the Real Estate Market in Mid 2016 through approximately December 2016 this basically ended the middle class involvement in the markets.
Despite the Trump successes the prior Democratic socialist administration still holds the American People a financial hostage. The Democratic coup and their public media filibuster clearly evidences the party's anti America position at this time.

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.

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.

-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.

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 SUCCESS:
The onset of the Make America Great Again Plan has regenerated Manufacturing, Farming, Agriculture, some Big/Small Businesses and approximately the creation of Three Million new jobs in just a year and a half in office.
Consumer confidence is up with and the promise of better paying jobs for Americans is on the forefront. The problem that still exists is the purchasing power of Americans is still in the Democratic coups control.
Trump appointed an existing member of the FED Jerome Powell to the Chairman position of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Powell is proving to be a Bureaucrat and not a leader as Trump anticipated. Powell and the existing Board of Governors are showing no interest in the Let's Make America Great Again plan.
Instead the FED Chair, Powell is going along with the preceeding administration 2008-2016 socilaist agenda and out dated plan that continues to depress and surpress America and Americans income, home ownership and overall purchasing power that would otherwise allow Americans to elevate their financial position in the American lifestyle promised to them in a Capitalist Democracy economy.
The FED's current socialist approach of raising interest rates without cause ,only potential, is increasing goverment borrowing resulting in increased debt. The USA is already at the forecasted 2021 implosion level of debt. The USA needs to reduce debt not increase it.
Let's look at interest rates abroad: UK, England Prime Lending Rate is 1.75% with a jobless rate of 4.2%. Japan, the Prime Lending Rate is 1.0%, Germany Prime Lending ratew is 2.23%, Euro Area Bank 2.23%. Communist China is at 4.35% USA Prime Lending Rate is 5.0% and on a upward trend.
Due to the FED's ongoing Prime Rate Increases it is making large ticket items like Automobiles and Real Estate unavailable, undesirable or out of reach to about 50% of Americans due to the added expense.
Moving forward, Trump has made progress on the International scene. Trump and his administration has renegotiated or is in the processing of renegotiation the bad deals made in the last 24 years by the former administrations. This stems from the mid 1990 NAFTA deal that has cost American millions and millions of good paying jobs and shifting the Companies of those jobs to the China sweat shops.
In addition, the IRAN Deal that violated the Patriot Act when Obama and Democrats pushed it through Congress the purchase of 32 Metric Tons of Nuclear Water from IRAN in March 2016, to keep the Obama treaty within its limits. IRAN guaranteed that it was not selling Nuclear Water (heavy water) to Terrorist. Nuclear Water is the primary ingredient of Nuclear Bombs. Three months later after the purchase of the heavy water to the US, IRAN sold an undisclosed 70 Metric Tons of Nuclear Water to Russia.
Trump has moved America is into new productive markets worldwide. From Trumps efforts this is stimulating trade beneficial to America business.
Trumps foreign relations currently has eased the potential of new war zones and America's participation in the war on terrorism. In addition, Trump and his administration are securing America and its borders from the infiltration of potential terrorist.
This is so important as American does not want to have 80 million (8-30-2018 Editorial correction 80 thousand) potential terrorist in America like France is experiencing at this time. _____________________________________ Trump Speculation per Thousand Dollars: Trumps Initial Personal Income Plan Per from 1/20/2017: $1000.00 Earnings +280.00.
