The US economy could turn around in 2017 — or crash

By John Mauldin

The reform effort could fall apart for various reasons. The Senate majority is narrow enough that just a handful of GOP defectors will be able to stop any given bill, assuming Democrats stay united in opposition.

An international crisis, a large bank failure, terror attacks—any one of a long list of unforeseeable events could conceivably derail this train.

Assuming no major surprises, I think the tax and regulation changes can boost GDP growth in the final half of 2017 toward the 2.5 percent range. That will be a small improvement from this year and could set the table for a bigger feast in 2018 and beyond.

Much also depends on how the Federal Reserve responds, as well as on any changes in its composition.

This market can go sideways for a lot longer than many of us who have a cautious nature can imagine.
