Our country wastes billions on wars, helping other countries, etc yet we let our own people suffer. Some people truly lack empathy.
    i don't lack empathy. Just have been trying to figure out why people are thrilled Trump won and think he is doing great.

    This taxpayer is sick of her money going for pointless wars and limitless greed. Trump's main accomplishment is making himself rich at our expense.
    But that is not the way many Trump supporters see it.

    The stock market is doing great.

    I didnt vote for him and don't like him, but I think at those who are not recognizing positive economic news ushered in by Donald Trump are myoptic to the detriment of this country.

    As a wag said today, "there is nothing that upsets progressives like real progress.."

    I don't know anyone that is thrilled. It sounded to me like you were listing his accomplishments like it was a good thing and actually it is all bad.

    In another thread, Rob made an interesting comment about the market:
    "About your ending Trump quote, as seen from the realities of life in the 85006: It is true the stock market has been doing well, VERY WELL in fact, of late. Now for the reality of the 85006: The stock market truly no longer trades on economic fundamentals and these high valuations are way above historical averages and are begging for a correction, especially since as I said the market today is not trading on economic fundamentals but instead speculation."

    I have been wondering the same thing, will this "Trump market" turn? Are you at all concerned about that, IL? I don't know what to think, myself.

    Oh hell yeah, the market is inflated. Lets all enjoy the ride while we are feeling rich, ok? Of course it will come down.
    Didnt it drop anout 10% a few weeks ago and news sources like the NYT could barely contain their glee? But I was a little relieved, I like it to come down and be a bit more stable over several years.

    but whatever, it is going to do what it is going to do.

    IL: it is not all bad if you have lots of $ and don't care what happens to other people. Children, elderly, disabled are the ones that will be hurt the most by many policies they are trying to push through. Like Kelly Conway said: those lazy people should get jobs with health insurance. I bet the job market is big for old people with dementia and kids.
