After trump has claimed its the greatest ever shows he lied. If it were really stronger like he claimed it wouldn't be doing as bad as it is now. Now watch as he tries to give all the breaks to businesses that pay zero in taxes , and we pay a lot more in taxes while they screw us over again. No business paying zero in taxes should get a dime of stimulus money. Any Democrat that hurts Social Security in any way by giving payroll tax breaks should be voted out of office. The top 5% should have their tax rate increase ASAP 5-7% and give the poor and middle class a bonus of $2500 to $5000 each to us directly.
