RE:The New Silk Road will have massive metals requirementsYou think America will have 3.5-4% growth in the next few years? How many years? Taking the other side of that bet.
Women already integrated into the work force (big reason for prior high growth rates), automation not really speeding up, Emerging Markets past their fastest years of growth. I think we're in for 1-3% for the forseable future in the USA.
