    What happens when Republicans control it all...

    Stocks soar when Republicans control it all
    November 10, 2016 - Starting in 2017, the Republican Party will hold the big trifecta…

    it's better than a trifecta!! Republicans control more state legislatures than ever in our history, not to mention 35 governorships. Perhaps most people now see that liberalism is based on pure ignorance?? Lets hope so.

    We shall see what happens to the stock market over the next few years. I warned this forum about Trump's penchant for tariffs. He seems to believe he can and should wield them like ransom monies. Increasing tariffs would wreak havoc on consumers and businesses that rely on imports (food and bev, airlines, tourism, computer industry, jewelry, the list is inexhaustible).

    The best repubs can claim is they limit taxes and regulation...which is a solid foundation but raising tariffs would undermine that foundation fast and in a hurry.

    I have spoken.

    actually he has a penchant to renegotiate trade deals so that their markets are as open as ours. Hope you understand now?
