Sat next to a trumper on the plane today who actually believes trump is going to solve our problem

[liberal N proud]

He was just sure that ythe economy was going to skyrocket on January 20th. I said, I remember reaganomics differently.

He just kept insisting that it was going to be great. They are dumber that they look.

3. I use robotic investing, but my real fear is the algorithms aren't developed to handle a Trump win.

4. Yes they are!

The collective stupid is simply astonishing..

I'll never look at small town America the same again. The bastion of Christian values that looks past a man who thinks it's OK to grab a woman by her privates, call Mexican immigrants rapists, ban Muslims based on their religion, slander a Gold Star family, get sued by the Justice department for housing descrimination, and mainstream bigotry and hate as he did.

They are all a bunch of hipocrites!

5. The economy will indeed zoom...

...for the 0.1 percent. That sucking sound we hear will be the great transfer of wealth from those of us who create it (the 99%) to our 0.1% overlords. Welcome to the new fuedalism.

[Jean-Jacques Roussea]

7. MAGA- a simpler time when pleasing our corporate masters was an honorable privilege

6. and the economy will improve, for a while. thanks obama! but of course, they'll take credit.

the economy is much improved from 8 years ago. moreover, the republicans will do things that will help in the short-run.

first, they will spend; if not on the wall, then at least on the military, as they always do. this may be stupid, but it helps the economy in the short run.

second, they will cut corporate taxes, or at least have a tax holiday, enabling a ton of overseas money to come back to the u.s. this will help *our* economy, though it will probably push europe into a recession, which in turn would damage our economy (weaker orders for our products). but again, there would be a short-term gain before the longer-term problems.

i'm leaving out any benefit from cutting personal taxes, because i doubt there would be much. they'll slant it heavily toward the rich, who won't increase domestic consumption.

even deregulation will help the economy in the short run, though of course at the expense of consumer, worker, and public health and safety.


the question is, when comes the fall....

[Wellstone ruled]

8. It will boom for several months

due to positive Economic Measures. If the Rethugs blow up their Budget and not agree by April. All bets are off,Reagan/Trump Recession hits and hits hard.
