I am afraid I have played a "jape" upon my followers. The economic indicators you have forecast are used in the derivation of the Kalecki-Levy equation, and taken together they impute corporate profits exactly (not a model, it's the definition)
Based on these numbers, US corporates will see an EBIT of $4 trillion in CY 2020, vs. 2019's $2 trillion EBIT. Amazing, and all the idiots on Wall Street are forecast a huge decline! Not even the most aggressive pro forma numbers have doubled
Feel free to check my work:
+4.7 trillion (average government deficit)
-0.5 trillion (average trade deficit)
-1.6 trillion (average household savings)
+0.9 trillion (average net dividends)
+0.5 trillion (average investment net of depreciation)

= 4 trillion
