Economic booms are usually defined by “greater productivity,” increased foreign investment, “reasonable” interest rates, “energy production,” and “plentiful deregulation and tax cuts.” But will any of this happen in 2026?
Hanson predicts we’ll “see an economic bonanza” in 2026 as “there’s going to be more oil,” “ new technologies,” and “all sorts of tax cuts” and “more deregulation than we’ve ever seen” in the Big Beautiful Bill on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”
“ Add it all up: We’ve had an unexpectedly—unexpectedly, unexpectedly—good third quarter. I imagine the fourth quarter might be just as good if it were not for the government shutdown—the longest in history—that occurred in the fourth quarter, but we’ll see. But more importantly: more foreign investment, more tax cuts, more deregulation, more energy development, lower interest, and I think you’re gonna see an economic bonanza.”

Russell Vought should not be allowed within 1,000 feet of any government facility.
Wait! What? Who is the ebullient young fellow with the optimistic view of the economy and policy? Could that be Dr. Hanson? Where is Eyeore? Could this be more AI chicanery? I'm gonna watch it again to be sure!🤣🙄🤣
You left out the sword of Damocles hanging over our heads: the massive national debt and the Fed printing money to buy our own debt because foreign countries don't want it and the cracks showing up in household and corporate credit markets and the bubble in the stock market and housing. I don't think we are going to have a booming economy this year. We will be lucky not to have the economy drive over a cliff.
Great podcast
Stop buying cheap products from China! I ordered two LED drawing pads! It took a month to come and not before Christmas then one box has a kid’s fist size hole on one box but the wrapping was fine! Then the USB connect is so old it doesn’t fit my phone iPad etc! So for not a cheap price they are useless! More absurd is their video to show how to use the drawing pads the wiping clothe doesn’t work at all then the demonstrator wet the cloth and the color drawn smeared all over!!! So ridiculous I will not buy any more ad on YouTube again! Twice they are all from China and really cheap junk
Reality is,
will the next administration carry on American First policies ;
enforce the Constitution & American laws .
It counts for nothing if half the population can't afford food
with AI and Wall Street libtards : they know what's going on with the economy: Only the press uses the "Un expectedly" word ….. but hurt little ppl.
President Trump- “Everything will
fundamentally change!”
The American electorate enthusiastically voted to fully support these new policies and changes!
Trump- “America First!”
“Make America Great Again!”
All Politicians lie and the partisan losers lie and are traitorous criminals possibly – don’t believe the lies anymore 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I'm not sure I can believe the latest economic news. Could they be rosy because Trump wouldn't have it any other way?
You obviously have not studied history of what happens when feds start cutting rates. SMH
Everything keeps getting more expensive, and even those with steady jobs are finding it hard to keep up. A lot of people are really feeling the pressure right now.
Prayers and well wishes for VDH.
Hanson is such an idiot. Trump thinks he is entitled to Venezuelan oil and Greenland!
Wishing all the best Sir. Russia's interest in fighting Ukraine is deemed to be evil, while the US taking over Venezuela is an act of what? We live in a crazy world and crazy times.
ALL OF THE NUMBERS ARE LIES. -BJNG.
Missing my Top News in 10 to start my day!
Everything is going great booming economy. And all the democrats can offer is gas light criticism
The U.S. is keeping the price of oil low to prevent the exodus from the “PetroDollar”.
Pres Trump is setting the US Citizens up for economic recovery from the Democrat neglect.
Historians make poor economists
Well said😊
Drill baby drill 😊
You are a true treasure, a wonderful intellectual knowledge and experience of true events that are happening around the world, you have a true gift of explaining them to us in a fabulous way we can comprehend! We also enjoy how you are telling story and teaching us about what's really going on!
Thank you
God bless you
Democrates destroy….they dont build….anything😮
Bad toupees stifle real economic growth😊
GOD Bless, protect and heal professor Hanson.
