It's gotta suck to be a loyal Democrat and have to get up every day and try to spin-away American progress.

Business is good, no fcking doubt about it. All my divisions are firing! And with the net gains in the corporate tax cuts, this is allowing me to use more of my money to expand my inventories and I am opening up a new office/warehouse in Va Beach resulting in hiring new employees. Of course all these new employees are already employed and I am having to pay more money to get the better talent (Phillips Curve).

I will say one thing though, there are several factors to todays economic growth, the massive credit/debt expansion that started under Obama and the Fed is continuing under Trump and the Fed. The economy is addicted to the cheap money like crack. Deficit spending is just as big under Trump than it was under Obama and our debt is just not as attractive as it use to be.

In the end, it will be the debt and the interest rates that brings the whole house of cards down. We spend money and valuable resources like drunken house wives in a finite world.

Watch the bond market, especially the State and Municipal bonds.

Very true. We cannot tax cut or tax increase our way out of this mess. Real pain needs to be passed by legislators now or we will suffer catastrophic pain later.

Smaller government!! Let's do it!! We need to get these govt employees to get off their duffs and start producing something. How much energy do you think they are producing at the DOE? How much production is the giant Dep of Agri responsible for? How about the Dept of Education? I'm not at all happy with their "product." Ever wonder why the "deep state" is kicking and screaming so much at Trump? I don't. Trump is trying to stop their fraud.

I agree wholeheartedly. The DOD now has more paper pushers than soldiers. Just look at the size and expense of staffs our wonderful legislators have.

That only gets worse as the stupid and corrupt politicians give each agency an automatic 3% plus increase each year regardless. For example the IRS received huge increases due to Obamacare and continues each year getting massive increases. Remember, Trump only received 4% of Washington DC. Geez, I wonder why?

All this corrupt monetary stupidity does have an expiration date. Not sure exactly when, but it will eventually come sooner than later as the world turns to other alternatives for a new reserve currency within a new world order. This is always the end game of a fraudulent "Let it be so" paper currency. This will bring about another world war.
