Trouble Ahead for the US Economy

America’s Economy Is No. 1. That Means Trouble.
Solid growth, big deficits and a strong dollar stir memories of past crises.
 
The overstimulated superpower
Ruchir Sharma:
Conventional forecasting models have been more off the mark than usual in this post-pandemic recovery. But why? Perhaps the most overlooked explanation for American resilience is that, far more than other developed countries, the US kept stimulating its economy well after the recession of 2020 was over.
Some of that fiscal and monetary stimulus is still coursing through the system, keeping growth artificially high and inflating both consumer and asset prices.
