Don't you remember all the things Trump did to influence the economy? Like getting elected and... stuff.

within the first few months into 2018.
The surge of job losses by big corporations who received their windfalls from the GOP Tax Scam will be in the works. They have no plans to reinvest here or hire more workers at above Minimum Wage. Manufacturing in this country is currently at its highest point, and that is LOWER than it has ever been.
Unemployment will begin to rise because those of us in our mid to late 60's have been working most all of our lives and want to finally retire. We do not plan to work at Walmart for $8.00 an hour as a Greeter in our 70's or Food Demonstrators in Grocery stores..
Look for drastic funding cuts to Education, Infrastructure, Job Training, and Programs that help the poor and those lacking skills to be productive members of society. Look for Republican attacks on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid as reasons why there have to be cuts because the rich need more money.
VOTE in 2018 people. March, show up at your Rep's offices. Demand they address you in Town Halls and other forums. They may be able to run, but they cannot hide.

The stock market will surge because of the corporate tax cuts.... that extra money will go to shareholders and stock buybacks. The way this is set up is for a slow motion, frog in the pot collapse. Most people think short term and only look at themselves and initially there will be tax cuts for most people. By the time the crap hits the fan it will be too late. It will take decades, if ever, to recover.
