Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –
The numbers below are from MarketWatch, but the same data can be found from a variety of sources.
What’s going to be surprising-to-some is that the tax cuts that boosted federal revenues for Presidents Jack Kennedy (D) and Ronald Reagan (R), has provided another early reward to the Trump Administration too.
A federal surplus for the month.
Here are the facts.
The Numbers:
“The U.S. took in $510 billion in receipts in April and spent $296 billion, leaving the Treasury with a record monthly surplus of $214 billion. The prior record, set in April 2001, was about $190 billion,” per MarketWatch.
What Happened:
“Tax receipts poured in during April, when tax returns and certain taxpayers’ quarterly estimated payments are due. Individual receipts climbed by $66 billion over last April, something the Congressional Budget Office has attributed to stronger-than-expected income growth in 2017, as well as “larger-than-anticipated payments for economic activity in 2018.””
That surplus occurred even though spending rose in April. It rose 8%, due to higher payments on Social Security and interest on the public debt.
The projections are still for a deficit this year. But the norms of history suggest that continued economic growth will in time reduce that budget gap. With a combination of rising federal receipts, adding some fiscal discipline, and other plans advocated by the Trump Administration for economic growth continue to take hold, the outlook is hopeful.
Of course, any number of factors could provide wrinkles to the plan and time line. But the fact that receipts are up over last year, after a big tax cut should be a wakeup call for all of those who failed to understand the historic lessons being applied by the Trump tax cut team.
It goes without saying that a healthy economy is good for the nation, and the manufactured housing industry. The Daily Business News will continue to monitor this topic.
