  1. Your kids and grandkids were facing this problem long before Mr. Trump got into office. The theory is that perhaps a growing economy taxed at lower rates will actually bring more revenues to the government than a stagnant economy taxed at higher rates. John Kennedy and Ronald Regan both believed that and ran their administrations accordingly. The basis for that theory is that a dollar in the hands of the private sector is much more productive than the same dollar in the hands of a bloated bureaucracy.
  2. I suspect Center had a letdown following the upset of Silsbee
  3. If you get a response, will "grab em" be in the statement?
  4. Surely you aren't saying that they possibly don't "care" as much as they say they do?
  5. The labor participation rate was what many complained about during the Obama years rather than the unemployment rate.
  6. You can call it all you want and there arent many times when I am 100% sure of something but , in this case, I am.
  7. Apparently the voters thought things could be made better
  8. Funny, that's what I said 8 years ago when I heard someone say "change you can believe in". If you think a certain stock or piece of real estate or a business is going to rise in value substantially, do you buy it before it rises or do you wait for some economic indicator to say it has already appreciated? That sort of describes perceptions and perceptions have improved considerably since investors perceived that taxes would drop and so would regulations. And a 3% annualized GDP rate says it better than anything else. 3% was never seen in the last administration
  9. Been dealing with market perceptions for over 30 years so I believe I have a pretty good feel for cause and effect. Markets always move on perception. That's why they are one of the index of leading economic indicators.
  10. The stock market is up 5000 points since he took office but he once said "grab em" in a two man conversation.
  11. The markets have moved on perception which was followed by action( that being reduced regulatory environment and the imminent passage of the tax bill) The following is NOT false news and DID NOT happen during Obama tenure., Three consecutive quarters of 3% annual GDP growth.
  12. Wasn't Manhattan supposed to be under water by now?
  13. " Intelligence" from my experience and perspective is a very relative term.
  14. Pray tell- exactly who are the "sharpest knives in the drawer" and exactly who is qualified to make that "declaration"?
  15. Was just wondering how this individual was able to gain an audience with the congressional committee since he lacks credibility?
  16. TxHoops- Are you stating that the article, since it is so "poorly written" is void of facts?
  17. Everybodys 401-K ( except for Tobies) is up meaningfully
  18. Additionally, the Hispanic unemployment rate is also lowest it has ever been.
