Democrats have been warning of a recession, but evidence that the economy remains strong keeps growing.

The latest: Super Saturday — or Panic Saturday, as shoppers think of the Saturday before Christmas — logged the highest level of sales in US retail history.

American consumers spent $34.4 billion on Dec. 21, a phenomenal figure that exceeded expectations and easily broke last year’s Super Saturday record of $31.9 billion. Between Nov. 1 and Christmas Eve, retail sales grew 3.4% over that time last year.

The markets, too, continued to hit record highs before and after the holiday. Unemployment, at 3.5%, remains at a 50-year low; the number of Americans filing for unemployment fell for a second straight week before the holiday. And weekly wages are increasing faster than inflation, putting more money in workers’ pockets.

Fact is, Americans all across the income spectrum have gained from the recovery, with many workers who’d given up on finding a job now reentering the labor force.

What’s behind it all? For starters, Team Trump deregulation, the 2017 corporate tax cuts, passage of the US-Mexico-Canada trade agreement and news of a Phase 1 deal with China.

And it’s driving a 20-year high in consumer confidence: A CNN poll just found that 76% of Americans rate the country’s economy very or somewhat good, up from 67% this time last year. Better numbers haven’t been seen since 2001.

Plus, with consumer spending fueling 70% of GDP, the country’s mood as 2019 closes suggests a good 2020 as well.

Maybe too good: New reports say US infrastructure is having trouble handling all the deliveries as consumers order more online. Yet even in that, there’s good news: A booming economy, after all, can generate revenue to boost infrastructure. Here’s to a happy — and prosperous — New Year!
