i ahve no skin in the game since I live mostly on Social Security and savings, but it always the ones at the bottom that get hurt the worst. We are actually way overdue for one after 10 plus years expansion and I don't think presidents have much affect on the economic cycle but since the current one loved taking the credit when it was good he will get the blame when it flops. Bury him deeper.
