It's been a month of Trump and market is up only 0.5%.
Trump was supposed to be "good for business".
He may be good for business, but he is not good for inflation which is where ~50% of equity gains have come from the last few years.
It will be interesting if the reduction in regulations can spur enough growth to offset the reduction in government spending and jobs in the economy.
I think it'll be painful for little awhile. Pretty sad fact that the crazy government spending has made up the lion's share of GDP over the last 4 years. Otherwise, GDP probably would have been negative.
It ain't gonna be just a little while. My definition of little while in this situation would be 3 years
This is a big ship that needs correcting. Drop that govt spending is going to ripple for several years. Then gotta get people comfortable and stable spending. But considering most Americans are in debt like the government that's going to take years by itself.
Hopefully savings they get balances budget, maybe pay down some debt and then reinvest some in projects to help the country....power grid, bridges, air traffic system, education system....
It's a pain process we need for our children's future..... Heck even if I want some of my ss money in 15 years!
