I would rather see an article with a respected economist predictions rather than some anonymous survey by the WSJ. Most do predict solid growth of just under 3 % and that is a good thing but we will see if this holds true, better to wait until the end of 2018 to judge.
I accessed off of Drudge, which I can do for most paywall sites, in addition to going in through the various realclear tabs, markets, policy, politics, investigations, religion, world, so on and so on. There is generally still a monthly limit, but it does enable me to access a number of sites I could not otherwise. You are welcome.
I use incognito and type the specific link
I did find the article but the article didn't tell me much about what i was looking for.
So, we can expect no more more negative or sourpuss comments from you when a bonus or across the board raise is announced with the 2017 Tax Cut and Jobs Act is credited? That is, until 2018 is in the books.

Like I said a few posts ago, I'm looking for the names (and hopefully organizations) of the economists that were surveyed.
I want to get a feel for whether they're legit, i.e. an intellectually diverse group of people, or whether it's just a bunch of 50 right-wing talking heads that the WSJ keeps around.
I didn't get a clear answer on that bc I couldn't figure out the composition of the survey members.
You know it is kind of hard to have a real conversation when someone betrays a bias in their wording, like you do..."or whether it's just a bunch of 50 right-wing talking heads that the WSJ keeps around." Might want to think about that attitude. Yeah, I'm bracing you.

You have provided no information about what I'm looking for, so pretending you've "spoon fed" anything is just you being ridiculous. Anyway, I don't think the information is available to the public or I would've found it the first time I looked.
I just gave you eight or nine names from their December survey. They don't change. This is a monthly survey, You didn't take much time to reach you predetermined response. Got no time for this. 8-9 names, organization how they fared on consensus, third party take. But, nooooo, opie knows more. Right.

If this elevates the disparity in middle class wages I will give credit, right now this is just speculation. Put the pom-poms down and lets see how this turns out, in the mean time I don't need to hear each company that gave out bonus checks as if this is new territory.
This is not a jobs act, no economist worth his weight has even remotely made that claim.
