8. Okay, thank you. I have a few more questions.

I think you already answered one. Most Republican presidents allowed the fed's to control interest rates, but Trump is actively trying to influence a decrease?

I was thinking along a tangent, Republicans only seem to be a one trick pony. Deficit spending. In other words, tax breaks and tax rebates that increase the U.S. deficit. Or, the sugar high policies. If these policies also have the effect of lowering the interest rates, isn't this a huge boon-dongle for those who were never in need to begin with? They not only keep what they have, but can expand their investments, while everybody else is hanging on for their lives?

Thank you for the explanations, especially the internet bubble. What a mess. It's like we have one pile on after the other with policies that create pyramid concepts and the expected crashing results.
