Hope springs eternal.Just yesterday Trump was bragging about how he gave military personnel their largest pay increase ever. Only one problem. Military pay increases in both 2008 and 2009 were larger. All you have to do is to take a look at stock market activity over the last two weeks. The Fed has made it clear that between now and the end of next year it will raise interest rates 4 times and some traders are saying that next year you'll make as much off of 10 year Treasuries as you will from equities.
In addition there are growing expectations that the findings of the Mueller investigation will be turned over to Rosenstein some time after the mid terms and the end of the year. If the results are as bad as they appear it could add even more fuel to the recession fire.
