True, Trump took it off Obama's hands and made it exponentially better.
And when there is a downturn, and there will be a downturn, what will the government’s response be? Lower interest rates? Can’t. They’re already artificially low. There is no throttle left with its 2.9% growth model with rising debt.

This just feels like 2002-2006 to me. Cuts to regulation that protects the middle/lower class from the corporations and banking industries. Tax cuts that pour money into the stock market and give companies unrealistic profits. Massive spending bills and delayed payments from all levels of government. We have nearly full employment and record tax receipts yet fail to pay down dept and deficits. Sugar high can only last so long. I fear 2007-2008 is deja vu all over again.

Yeah, let's keep it stagnant so everyone will be unhappy and vote in a socialist.

Just delay the downturn until November 5th.
I’m in my 4th month of 12 of dollar cost averaging out of the market in my 401k.
That will put me at 50% of my investments on the sideline at Election Day 2020.

I usually max a Roth IRA for me and my wife. Didn't do it 2019. I've got till April 15. Stopped 401k contributions in January. By April it should be clear that BSanders will be the nominee without a brokered convention.

Markets will drop hard on the possibility of a communist presidency. At which point I'll drop 24k into Roth IRA index funds and put our 401ks back on maximum contributions.

Trump will win and keep America and my retirement great.

Depends upon how much truth is involved. I do think the president acts guilty as hell at every opportunity.

the narrative is now including democratic candidates. and to your point that candidate honeymooning in russia during the height of the cold war and voting against numerous anti russian iniatives would fit your acting guilty narrative. Maybe we'll wake up some day and realize that russia is not interested in picking a winner and very much interested in undermining our faith in our elections?
