I went back and looked through some of the past Republicans like Reagan and Bush and although I am fine with Clinton as President, my stocks did well....lol I think Bush knew something and the Republicans threw him under the bus for it. Reagan tried the whole Tariff thing, which in my opinion if used right can do good for our economy, but Reagan tried to push to much. NOTHING LIKE WHAT TRUMP IS DOING, but Reagan realized people were not going to "bite the bullet" and allow a rise in taxes. So he punted. When Bush said "no new taxes" he screwed himself because later he realized "oh crap, we gotta raise taxes to fix this trickle down mess". And he got voted out for it.
It blows my mind that all this chaos is happening people getting fired, government agencies shutting down, tariffs out the butt and actually ALL THEY NEED TO DO is not continue the tax cuts. THATS IT.....no one has to touch medicare, no one has to touch medicaid or social security. The biggest cost right now are the "tax cuts"....it blows my mind.
