Trump Domestic Policy - Budgets, etc

Bob Corker believes in it, apparently. I'm sure he gave some rationalization about why he was going to do what he explicitly said he wasn't going to do, but I didn't catch it.

I’ve been preaching about not using one data point. What were the increases with Obama? I’m guessing the first couple years were huge but of course his situation was vastly different. 

 
YIm sure this Reich guy is just some looney “Lib”who’s losing his mind and spreading fake news   :sarcasm but he makes some good points here I think . https://www.newsweek.com/robert-reich-truth-about-trumps-booming-economy-opinion-1169901?fbclid=IwAR2l_GhDD5KRiMZ8e6lx5kPd3PT-u1d1zaH9LhLJ3bYk4SQoJxqcGV0NMM0

Too often, discussions about “the economy” focus on overall statistics about growth, the stock market, and unemployment.

But most Americans don’t live in that economy. They live in a personal economy that has more to do with wages, job security, commutes to and from work, and the costs of housing, health care, drugs, education, and home insurance.

These are the things that hit closest home. They comprise the typical American’s standard of living.

As someone else put quite nicely, he does this crap because he knows certain outlets will publish headlines like "Trump promises 10% middle-class tax cut."

He's literally pulling a phony tax cut out of his rear end because he knows it's election time and they're getting killed with the middle class. And there are no doubt some stupid people who will believe him.

 
Anybody notice how much of a cliff the stock market has fallen off lately?

I checked yesterday and looking at the charts, we've given up nearly the entire past year's gains the last month. Not exactly great for Mr. Super Fantastic Economy Man right before the midterms.

My 401k continues to look hilariously bad because I just started it at the beginning of this year. Last I checked it had a -7% return.
