7/14/18......Economy is on fire.

[vanzandt]

I always like to look at the Saturday traffic.... as opposed to the regular weekday quagmire. Man people are spending money like all get out. Malls and strip centers are packed. Help wanted signs are everywhere. I'm trying to think back to when things were last like this. Its been awhile.

So....Is this Trump or would it have been this way with Hillary? Part of me says the economy is like an ocean, its gonna do what its gonna do. But there is no denying the psychological effect that Trump has had. I'd be willing to bet, Trump supporters among the people of color, as rare as they are.... are the ones who own businesses. How could you not support the guy? Eliminating regulation is the greatest thing of all time. It has nothing to do with clean water and clean air. No one can deny the BS that so many small businesses have had to endure.

All that being said.... this too shall pass. Capitalism inevitably will witness a strong correction. But for now.... ya gotta ride the wave. Apple is not worth a trillion dollars. Nor is NFLX worth a PE of 263.
So who knows..... but there WILL be a correction. You will lose a pile of money betting that way however.

Look at GWB's thread on Pence's oil company and tell me regulation doesn't help keep clean water?

To answer your question though, I think you'd seen a positive yet smaller performance under Hillary. And you point to the right points why that would be so, most small business owners being trumpers (I reckon) and being unafraid to put money into their business.

Unfortunately, this is due to manufactured fear in my opinion, that the left is going to take your business/gains, much like gun nuts thought Obama was gonna take their guns. So the fear keeps small business owners from spending.

No accounting for inflation though...sure I've been spending more money for the same stuff lately.

As to why I can't love the guy? Some momentary lapse in economic growth is not worth eroding the electoral process, undermining the rule of law, environmental damage, losing the supreme court, the loss o allies/trade partners and international standing, and stomping basic human rights.

I've seriously been considering a move if the way things are going continues....I'll just trade American companies taking advantage of cronyism from some other country where I'm glad to pay taxes to.

Get over it. Trump is better than Obama. You lost and the democrat party has been gutted.
