Jim Bianco on What a 'Mar-a-Lago Accord' Could Mean for the Economy

The so-called “Mar-a-Lago Accord” has suddenly become a hot topic on Wall Street, with some investors and analysts starting to take the idea more seriously, holding meetings with clients and publishing research notes about the rumored plan.
