[QUOTE="Grendelshooter, post: 3292849, member: 44870"] I’m not an economist by any means, but what does all this actually mean for the common man? I travel all over western Oklahoma and most of what I see are farm towns dying and blowing away. On the left coast the plebs are drowning in debt just to maintain something of an existence above the ever rising poverty line. What’s good for the coastal elites doesn’t seem to do well for the yeoman farmer, as we approach a point where the ruling class controls nearly as much wealth as the rest of the population ($35 trillion top 1% vs $36 trillion for the rest iirc). I’d be happier with Trump if he delivered on the rest of his promises: Immigration bans, concrete walls, ending birthright citizenship (and sending back everyone who didn’t have family here prior to Hart-Sellers would be freaking sweet!), and pulling our troops home from our wars for other states. I’m not trying to be obtuse but I just don’t see what’s so great about the economy right now except that it’s not as bad as under Obama? [/QUOTE]
