UNITED STATES - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
The US has the most technologically powerful economy in the world, with a
per capita GDP of $59,500. US firms are at or near the forefront in
technological advances, especially in computers, pharmaceuticals, and medical,
aerospace, and military equipment; however, their advantage has narrowed since
the end of World War II. Based on a comparison of GDP measured at purchasing
power parity conversion rates, the US economy in 2014, having stood as the
largest in the world for more than a century, slipped into second place behind
China, which has more than tripled the US growth rate for each year of the past
four decades.
In the US, private individuals and business firms make most of the
decisions, and the federal and state governments buy needed goods and services
predominantly in the private marketplace. US business firms enjoy greater
flexibility than their counterparts in Western Europe and Japan in decisions to
expand capital plant, to lay off surplus workers, and to develop new products.
At the same time, businesses face higher barriers to enter their rivals' home
markets than foreign firms face entering US markets.
Long-term problems for the US include stagnation of wages for
lower-income families, inadequate investment in deteriorating infrastructure,
rapidly rising medical and pension costs of an aging population, energy shortages,
and sizable current account and budget deficits.
The onrush of technology has been a driving factor in the gradual
development of a "two-tier" labor market in which those at the bottom
lack the education and the professional/technical skills of those at the top
and, more and more, fail to get comparable pay raises, health insurance
coverage, and other benefits. But the globalization of trade, and especially
the rise of low-wage producers such as China, has put additional downward
pressure on wages and upward pressure on the return to capital. Since 1975,
practically all the gains in household income have gone to the top 20% of
households. Since 1996, dividends and capital gains have grown faster than
wages or any other category of after-tax income.
Imported oil accounts for more than 50% of US consumption and oil has a
major impact on the overall health of the economy. Crude oil prices doubled
between 2001 and 2006, the year home prices peaked; higher gasoline prices ate
into consumers' budgets and many individuals fell behind in their mortgage
payments. Oil prices climbed another 50% between 2006 and 2008, and bank
foreclosures more than doubled in the same period. Besides dampening the
housing market, soaring oil prices caused a drop in the value of the dollar and
a deterioration in the US merchandise trade deficit, which peaked at $840
billion in 2008. Because the US economy is energy-intensive, falling oil prices
since 2013 have alleviated many of the problems the earlier increases had
created.
The sub-prime mortgage crisis, falling home prices, investment bank
failures, tight credit, and the global economic downturn pushed the US into a
recession by mid-2008. GDP contracted until the third quarter of 2009, the
deepest and longest downturn since the Great Depression. To help stabilize
financial markets, the US Congress established a $700 billion Troubled Asset
Relief Program (TARP) in October 2008. The government used some of these funds
to purchase equity in US banks and industrial corporations, much of which had
been returned to the government by early 2011. In January 2009, Congress passed
and former President Barack OBAMA signed a bill providing an additional $787
billion fiscal stimulus to be used over 10 years - two-thirds on additional
spending and one-third on tax cuts - to create jobs and to help the economy
recover. In 2010 and 2011, the federal budget deficit reached nearly 9% of GDP.
In 2012, the Federal Government reduced the growth of spending and the deficit
shrank to 7.6% of GDP. US revenues from taxes and other sources are lower, as a
percentage of GDP, than those of most other countries.
Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan required major shifts in national resources
from civilian to military purposes and contributed to the growth of the budget
deficit and public debt. Through FY 2018, the direct costs of the wars will
have totaled more than $1.9 trillion, according to US Government figures.
In March 2010, former President OBAMA signed into law the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), a health insurance reform that was
designed to extend coverage to an additional 32 million Americans by 2016,
through private health insurance for the general population and Medicaid for
the impoverished. Total spending on healthcare - public plus private - rose
from 9.0% of GDP in 1980 to 17.9% in 2010.
In July 2010, the former president signed the DODD-FRANK Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act, a law designed to promote financial
stability by protecting consumers from financial abuses, ending taxpayer
bailouts of financial firms, dealing with troubled banks that are "too big
to fail," and improving accountability and transparency in the financial
system - in particular, by requiring certain financial derivatives to be traded
in markets that are subject to government regulation and oversight.
In December 2012, the Federal Reserve Board (Fed) announced plans to
purchase $85 billion per month of mortgage-backed and Treasury securities in an
effort to hold down long-term interest rates, and to keep short-term rates near
zero until unemployment dropped below 6.5% or inflation rose above 2.5%. The
Fed ended its purchases during the summer of 2014, after the unemployment rate
dropped to 6.2%, inflation stood at 1.7%, and public debt fell below 74% of
GDP. In December 2015, the Fed raised its target for the benchmark federal
funds rate by 0.25%, the first increase since the recession began. With
continued low growth, the Fed opted to raise rates several times since then,
and in December 2017, the target rate stood at 1.5%.
In December 2017, Congress passed and President Donald TRUMP signed the
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which, among its various provisions, reduces the
corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%; lowers the individual tax rate for those
with the highest incomes from 39.6% to 37%, and by lesser percentages for those
at lower income levels; changes many deductions and credits used to calculate
taxable income; and eliminates in 2019 the penalty imposed on taxpayers who do
not obtain the minimum amount of health insurance required under the ACA. The
new taxes took effect on 1 January 2018; the tax cut for corporations are
permanent, but those for individuals are scheduled to expire after 2025. The
Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) under the Congressional Budget Office
estimates that the new law will reduce tax revenues and increase the federal
deficit by about $1.45 trillion over the 2018-2027 period. This amount would
decline if economic growth were to exceed the JCT’s estimate.
