Rainman2, I like the sound of these trends .....

U.S. GDP is projected to grow 2.8% in 2026, with quarterly fluctuations influenced by consumption, investment, and policy changes.
Projected Growth
The U.S. economy is expected to expand at an annual rate of 2.8% in 2026, with fourth-quarter year-over-year growth projected at 2.5%, slightly above the consensus estimate of 2.1% (Goldman Sachs Research)

Quarterly Trends
In the first quarter of 2026, real GDP is expected to recover from the 0.6% annualized decline in Q1 2025, which was influenced by import surges and inventory adjustments

. The fourth quarter of 2025 saw a 0.7% annualized increase, driven by consumer spending and investment, partially offset by decreases in government spending and exports

. These trends suggest moderate but steady growth throughout 2026.

Key Drivers
Consumption and Investment: Consumer spending and business investment, particularly in equipment and intellectual property, are major contributors to GDP growth

.
Government Policy: Tax incentives from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) are expected to boost disposable income and business investment

.
Labor Market and Productivity: Labor supply growth is limited due to lower immigration, so productivity gains, including those from AI adoption, are expected to play a larger role in GDP expansion

Interest Rates: The Federal Reserve is predicted to implement two 25-basis-point rate cuts in 2026, which may stimulate investment and consumption

Summary
Overall, the U.S. GDP in 2026 is expected to grow steadily at 2.8% annually, supported by tax cuts, consumer spending, and investment, while facing moderate fiscal constraints and labor supply limitations. Quarterly fluctuations will reflect inventory adjustments, import patterns, and policy impacts, with inflation remaining moderate at around 2.1% by year-end.

You fail to mention where inflation is now and will go.
Right now prices are up all across the board for the average American.

You also have to deal with trump and his mood swings where things can change in the blink of an eye.

Add to the fact of the open grifting in what Trump does. This doesn’t look good to the every day American. But he doesn’t care. Only himself and his inner circle.

Perception means everything, especially in the eyes of everyone.  Right now trump lacks this in the eyes of the every day American.

Are his ideas right? But you need proper perception in why you do things in life and trump clearly doesn’t have this and this is why we have the troubles we have today. If you push your agenda more politely, you have a better chance of it succeeding. You have a majority in both sides of the legislative branch and you fail to accomplish things because of his demeanor toward everyone including the people you need to help you be successful.

Do you think that there would be casinos at the tracks if it wasn't for the tracks lobbying for it?

Like Pompano?

Like Calder?

Like Hialeah?

Like Hastings?

Like Fraser?

Like Rid Car?

Like Aquaduck?

Like every dog track in Florida, NH, MA?

All got casinos or card rooms because the tracks (and the horse and dog people) wanted it, like you said.

But there are bright spots.
