and we have not have any of that now for 18 months. Luckily, we moved investments into safehavens when trump got elected so we didn't see the big push up nor the crash down and are actually better position at the moment than most of friend who stayed in the markets.

The chaos with trump and the GOP aint going away too soon and the talk on federal budget big $$$$$ deficits has been bare minimum as few financial TV people want to disparage the taxcuts that put of a lot money in THEIR hands at the cost of driving deficits and is the CHIEF reason behind NO federal budget and the operation by CRs....as the GOP in Congress do not want to throw out the "trillion $$$ deficits" as THEY & TRUMP OWN IT , their plan was to use the deficits as a mechanism to CUT social security, medicare and all other social programs as well as killing the prevailing wage ac, but trump's chaos as derailed that effort.
