"Actual and planned capital investment" has nothing to do with Federal economic policy and everything to do with market confidence, but still.

What has Trump done, substantively, on the economy since he was elected?

The stock market's happy and market confidence is driving growth. But that has nothing to do with any actual policy of the administration's.

Any new GOP tax cut will shoot a hole in the bubble and we'll crash again and the deficit will scream skyward. Just like every GOP administration. Those guys are cargo cultists for tax cuts.

Making long term progress on our structural deficits will be far better for our economy in the long run that any short term juicing from tax cuts. Yes, we need to overhaul the tax code and remove all the BS therein, but ultimately revenues are going to have to increase some. Any denial of this fact is pure fantasy.

There isn't a single person around talking about how the Fed is going to reduce a 5 Trillion balance sheet of dogshit into a tapped global market, with rising rates, without choking off the bond market completely from everyone else.

I would have been embarrassed to make a post 7 months into Obama's term saying he would never do anything because he hadn't so far

There has been progress and some of it even shows up on the scoreboard.

Health care and taxes need to be addressed. Cut or raise isn't as important as knowing what the rules are going to be for the next few years

The hategasm in Charlottesville is causing moar cities to remove their Confederate monuments. Including cities that weren't even planning on removing them.

Yeah it's causing idiots to try and tear down the peace monument in Atlanta because they thought it was a confederate monument.

Create anticipation for tax cuts to make US manufacturing competitive.

You have to be a total bury-your-head-in-the-sanders to hide from what is happening today in the US economy with both foreign investment and USCorps planning to bring offshore money back onshore.

The theory sounds chinteresting.

Waiting to see results though.

Agree.

Let me know when the President and Congress come up with workable plans for either one.

You don't have one single semblance of a fucking clue.

Actual and planned capital investment is off the fucking charts right now. The single biggest problem/concern is the fear too much money will pour in too soon.

Link?
