President-elect Donald Trump will inherit what I consider the strongest domestic economy in 50 years .

Peter Bergen : Job growth, wage growth and GDP growth are strong, inflation has returned to normal plodding path.

He says we should expect a big expansion in political appointees to civil service, from 4,000 to 20,000 .

Bergen says most of Project 2025 builds a bigger, more expansive and intrusive federal government.

Michael Hicks : The U.S. economy has dominated the world for most of the past century and continues to do so today .

He says the economy has endured a lot of very bad economic policies, but continued to thrive.

Hicks: Trump ’s conduct while in and outside of office makes mockery of the rule of law.
