Summary

This document consists of two presentation slides (pages 361 and 362) from a KPCB report titled 'USA Inc. | What Might a Turnaround Expert Consider?'. The slides provide a macroeconomic analysis of the US consumer's role in GDP growth, highlighting a shift after 2007 where wealth destruction (real estate and equity decline) and high unemployment (rising to 10%) forced consumers to increase savings and decrease spending. The document bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' bates stamp, indicating it was part of a Congressional investigation.

Beginning in 2007, Wealth Destruction + High Unemployment Forced Consumers to Save Again, Potentially Reducing Short-Term Demand for Goods & Services
3% average annual GDP growth (1981 - 2007) was helped as the average USA consumer:
1) Increased personal consumption as percent of GDP to 71% from 62%;
2) Decreased personal savings rate to 2% of disposable income from 11%;
Beginning in 2007, things changed as:
1) The average US consumer experienced a material decline in the value of his / her largest investment assets (real estate and equities) from 2007 to 2009 when peak-to-trough valuations for USA residential real estate declined 30% and the S&P 500 declined 56%;
2) Unemployment rose to 10% in 2009 / 2010 from 30-year trough of 4% in 1999, creating uncertainty regarding future personal income levels;
3) Personal savings rate increased to 6% in 2009 / 2010 of disposable income from 2% in 2007, as uncertainty grows and appetite for consumption ebbs;
All in, the key driver of US GDP growth – the US consumer’s ability to spend – is severely constrained in the short term as he / she aims to rebuild savings and contain spending. This raises the question – ‘How fast can US GDP grow annually over the next ten years?’ Determining ways to drive GDP (and related job growth) is crucial...
