There are only TWO economic “plates” that they “spin”. The USA plate and the rest of the world’s plate. The European and other economies are doing fine, so no more spinning for them. They stopped spinning the USA plate in mid 2014.
It obviously was determined in late ’16 that its time to re-spin the USA plate before it slows down. They were just talking about my view this morning (late is better than never I guess) on Bloomberg News. Everybody else is fine, and the USA has some “baggage” uncertainties building up.
