Trade deficit has spiked in Trump’s first year and the same failed trade policies he attacked as a candidate are still in place. Outsourcing continues and promised actions remain undone. http://nyti.ms/2saio0x

Could it simply be a supply and demand issue? With the economy tripping over itself for so long. Then all of a sudden, nothing is tripping it. Now the Fed is caught with its pants down.

You could be waiting your whole life. Meanwhile being left behind by the economy. Wait, that is exactly what the people you follow are telling you to do.

Certainly paints a supporting picture for Trump's concern for Trade deals and Tariffs.

Recessions come and go. You can’t stop your life because a recession is coming. If you do, you will be affected by them all.

The last recession I recall affecting my family was in the early 70’s. I am told we looking for a new house in the 60K range at the time, but settled for one at 35K.

Recessions are buying opportunities.

That's what gets me, people want the government to set wage floors, which make it more and more difficult for anyone to enter the workforce, but they don't want to unionize and bargain for better wages for everyone. I guess there are those who want neither minimum wages nor unions, but they're usually business owners and workers who are happy being underpaid.

I was not fortunate, and I won’t be fortunate next time. But I will be buying again. People with your “poor mans” mentality and poor decision making had it bad.

Many people perceive Unions as another form of government.
For instance, I don't like Home Owners Associations myself.
