Trump gets his tax changes, the Fed is set to become more hawkish, but can they ignore Q4 GDP ?

Large vehicle auto sales in the US were down 85% in November with only 28 sales, potentially reflecting the increase in fuel prices.

Concerns over the impact of this (tax) bill on Federal Debt are justified; ultimately, it is expected to increase debt issuance by more than $1tn over the next 10 years, depending on the strength of growth. And here is the concern - GDP data has moved above 3% for the past two quarters, but only because Private Inventory Investment has been high, adding 0.8% to Q3, which would otherwise have been at or below 2.5%, leaving 2017 GDP near to 2.25%.
