It usually takes years to see an economic policy have an affect. The last significant one I can remember that had an immediate effect was when Mulroney brought in the GST.

Since Donald hasn't done anything but post angry tweets, I doubt he's had any effect. Markets love stability so one could argue he's done more harm than good and the economy would be stronger without him in the Whitehouse.

In any event politician's popularity almost always rises and falls with the economy so it's very interesting that his continues to sag.

As I've said before, the local Trumpites I know personally, have all but disappeared from Facebook and have hidden their MAGA hats

Obamacare had an immediate and severe negative consequence

NEP was pretty devastating in terms of gutting a national economy

As for the markets, they've done nothing but get stronger under the Trump admin

actually....I kinda feel for them. They were sold an"art o f the deal .....(and art of lying " and bought into it for their own personal reasons. They didn't realize that the so called "artist" was a master manipulator and pathological liar. His slogans WERE catchy and would appeal to many as was his simplistic basic and course language.. and current society seems to be conditioned for simple slogans and not to examine them or the bigger picture.


When they start burning those MAGA hats......then and only then will it be obvious that they have realized what they voted for.;-)

A lot more will start to come out now.......as the web that has been woven is getting untangled.

Another moment in US history.......and it is FASCINATING
to see all this get exposed .......

About the same as "growing Canada from the Heart out", "anyone but Harper" and "Real change for the Middle class"

Of course the Tupopheles are primarily concerned about the economy and their own incomes. They don't seem to care about the other critical aspects of the presidency.(which of course is their choice & their set of priorities.)

Well you have to make up your mind, which way it is does the leader play a role in the economy or not! Once you have that figured out then you have to remember it's the same for all times good or bad! :) You can't have it both ways!

Trumpites seem to be the only ones pissy about Obamacare. Perhaps it might have been more palatable had Barrack been white.

As for the markets, who cares? As I said, they just like stability. As long as Donny doesn't do something really stupid like nuking North Korea, all is good

You mean you haven't figured it out yet?? ;-)

as far as the economy.......the factors that influence it are varied and many. BUT folks tend to blame the pOTUS if it goes south and then commend him if it gets healthier ....Now whether that is based on FACTS.......is another question.

What?... a vindictive, ego-maniacal madman who can launch nuclear missiles if he happens to be in a pissy mood?

Nothing to be afraid of, there!

As of right now the economy is on Trump's side everything is streaming upward, we'll see what the third 1/4 results are shortly

Sorry Wally, but I meant to say raging psychopath. I know why you like him. Does he haunt you wet dreams?

Because he is a lunatic with his finger on the Big Red Button.

Yeah, I'm sure it's installed right on his arm chair! :) :) (I'm not positive but I think that decision has to get the "green light" from 3 top officials)

Yes, well, he surrounded himself with lunatics and yes men/women. so I don't think it would be hard for him to find two more psychopaths to help him out with that. Hell, at least 34% of Yankies still support him, so that means there are over 100 million crazies down there.

Well, for starters, folks that would be subject to penalties for not having insurance (see failed Obamacare legislation) and tehn the insurance exchanges failing might be somewhat pissed.

It makes sense that you don't care... You have no clue as evidenced by your belief that your local economy is booming but you apparently can't identify a single sector that drives said economy

Why is our economy doing better under Trudeau than under Harper? You really are pretty thick.

The question was why the economy didn't do well under BHO
