    Most care about both. Most have a 401k or other investments for their future and those that don't are not to smart.

    That's exactly the point!

    Stimulus spending is artificial and is temporary. It cant go on forever.

    The government can't continue to steal people's money to keep the economy going.

    That’s a patently false statement. Ever struggle to afford groceries?

    I have struggled to afford groceries. More Americans do than we admit.

    But my primary point is that its wages not stock gains that most Americans primarily care about.

    I've never called for permanent stimulus spending.

    Taxes aren't stealing.

    From Jan 01, 2018, NASDAQ has risen 13.36%, S&P500 has risen 4.78%
    Your broker couldn't answer that question?

    Bullshit.

    The market started a bull run the day after the election.

    That wasn't a coincidence.

    Business feels more comfortable spending money and investing under business friendly administrations.

    The Dow Jones from Jan 1, 2015 until election day 2016 rose an anemic 0.47%, badly failing to keep up with inflation over that period. The market was not impressed with Obama as much as you were.

    Same Federal Reserve that kept interest rates artificially low for Obama has been rapidly raising rates under Trump to spark a huge market correction

    Taxes are stealing. Taxes steal from the American people.

    Taxes are not stealing. They are constitutionally authorized.

    Since Trump made NO changes to US economic policy at all during his first year, thanking Obama is entirely appropriate.

    In your case, I suggest a fee for service arrangement.

    You will need to have your checkbook handy if you ever need a policeman or fire company. And we'll put a tool booth at the end of your driveway.

    Understandable.

    But only if it were true.

    Remember, the left's media ministries have been in hyperdrive since day one predicting doom and gloom for the economy based on the President's agenda.

    Were they lying when putting out so much ink on the subject?

    Do some homework on federal regulations as well as tax reform and consumer confidence during Trump's first year in office.

    Anyone saying that Congress or Trump made any major change to the economic tools in 2017 is lying.

    Anyone denying words and agendas don't have an impact on business activity is ignorant, and/or, unfamiliar with what prompts economic activity.

    Anyone who claims that Trump or Congress did not have a positive effect on the economy is delusional.

    The Alt Right bots and trolls can't show that Trump or Congress made any significant change to Obama's economy in 2018.

    I said most. Of course there is a group at the very bottom of the economic ladder living hand to mouth but that's a small percentage.
