February 27, 2017By Taegan Goddard
Stan Collender: Donald Trumps insistence that his tax and spending plans will provide an immediate kick to the U.S. economy and Wall Streets belief that the new administrations budget policies will lead to a quick boost in corporate profits now need to be tempered with a big dose of economic reality: The presidents promised fiscal stimulus isnt going to be enacted or take effect any time soon. If it happens at all, the soonest the economy will begin to feel the impact of a Trump stimulus is in federal fiscal year 2018, that is, starting 7 months from now on October 1. And even October 1 is optimistic.
Part of the reason for this is how long its taking for Congress to do what the day after Election Day was considered to be a slam-dunk: repeal the Affordable Care Act. The controversy between and among congressional Republicans is now so multifaceted, heated and chaotic that the delay could soon make it far more difficult for the House and Senate to deal with both ACA and tax reform.

Cryin and moaning when the price of their crops goes lower than whale poo at the bottom of the ocean because Mexico isn't buying their shit anymore!
Their hate and racism is going to carry a heavy price.
Elections have consequences assholes!
