Of course he may be wrong, but he's pretty sharp.

I could see it, but still think Trump will pull any lever he can to inflate the market during his term.

We've been acting like budgets and spending your money wisely doesn't matter for the past decade. The debate over Obamacare seems quaint now - at the heart of it was a discussion about affordability and efficiency.

There's no real policy debate any more about healthcare, a responsible level of tax, education costs, debt, etc.

If this has to happen (which I hope it doesn't) - I'm glad it's happening during a Republican administration. It's the conservatives' responsibility to bring these sort of grown up topics to the table... not ignore them.

[Mik]

Agreed, but that hasn't happened in this millennium.
