    ^^^^ Uh...

    Is there all of sudden going to be a lot more demand? From my perspective, 2020 in the beginning will be tough for manufacturing (Boeing, Coronovirus, trade war still going, persistent low oil prices don’t help a major producer like the US etc).

    proof that socialism doesn’t work

    for real, this is why you make the election all about trump and not so much about your ideas... he got so many weakness across the board you can attack on from mental illness to socialist policies to taxes, debt, trades, health care, corruption....

    The 1% and .1% did not have the vote power do get what they want, guess who is helping them? Yup, plenty of bottom half vote against their self interest. Self ownage at its best, just look at the MAGA crowd, how many of them are 1%?

    You’re trying too hard to derail the Trump train, just jump on a boxcar before it’s too late while some of us ride in first class saying we told you so. :)

    Which source are you referring to, the Commerce Department or the S&P 500 itself?

    All of it I guess. If you are going to blankety discredit what was posted. It seems to me you would want to stare why those specific statistics are wrong. Or something, I don’t know. It seems extremely disingenuous.

    Speaking of trump and the economy, our tax dollars were spent to send him to the Opportunity Now Summit in North Carolina. Now ignoring the fact that trump isn't supposed to be making campaign speeches using taxpayer money, just look at the speech trump is giving supposedly on "the economy"...
