For those fearful the U.S. economy stands on the edge of a dark precipice, economist Alan Beaulieu counsels against despair. One of his most prescient calls, made when oil prices had slipped below $35 and were dropping like a rock, was that they would end 2016 at about $50 to $55 a barrel, which they did. To those anxious about Donald Trump moving into the White House, Beaulieu said the U.S. economy is at heart politically agnostic regarding the party or person in power. It rises and falls on decisions made by millions, not one person.
