We need deregulation, tax reform, and corporate money from overseas this year for it to continue

The h*ll it is. Whole aisles of shopping malls across the land are shuttering their doors because the stores can't compete in today's economy. Even major banks like Wells Fargo are having to close hundreds of branches.

Obama needs to visit the current occupant of the Oval Office, and give him a little advice on how to properly manage an economy.

What, exactly, has Trump done to facilitate that?

It was only the weakest economic recovery in 70 years.

Even cnn thinks so. LINK

That's much more Wells Fargo's fault than it is Trump's.

How soon we forget (when it's politically expedient to do so)...

He's already done de-reg through revoking of Obama anti-business initiatives. And don't tell me he hasn't because the NYT has been bitching about how everyone is gonna die from it.

They complain that Trump has yet to accomplishing anything, then turn about face and say that our economic success couldn't possibly be his because he hadn't been in office long enough to accomplish anything.

Nothing that has passed Congress (at least not that I can recall at the moment), but his stances (and actions, in some cases) on illegal immigration, foreign trade and proposed tax policies have helped raise and keep consumer sentiment high.



Whether this transfers over to actual spending growth or not is too soon to tell but thus far indicators are looking at better returns than last year.

Yeah... And how is this trumps fault? They can't compete because malls are out dated. Not because of the economy. But because of things like AMAZON. And other ONLINE RETAILERS, where instead of wasting time and gas, people can pull out their handy handy cell phone. And order what they want, while taking a shite in their bathroom at home.

You are so willfully ignorant in your attempts to put the blame on trump it really is sad.

That's consumer sentiment. Consumer confidence index is a different metric and is even higher.

I cant tell if this is serious or not so I'm going to treat this as the dumbest thing I'll read today.

1) Mall aisles are empty because e-commerce and its convenience have changed the face of consumerism (ever notice why Amazon's stock goes up whenever Sears and the rest have bad news?). I know I would rather have my widgets delivered to my door.

2) Similarly, the shift to electronic banking, the additional features in ATMs, etc have largely made physical branches only useful for the elderly/technologically incompetent and in some cases those going through the archaic loan process our banks make you go through (even Brazil has more modern tech in this arena than we do). Have you never deposited a check using the mobile app? The average person has absolutely no reason to step foot in a bank anymore. Its 2017.

Have you been to a bank lately? Every time I'm in Chase I'm generally one of a handful of people. Why would you have branches a mile apart when you could consolidate, save the cost of the security, building, tellers, etc, and inconvenience literally no one?

This isnt even business management 101, this should be intuitive.

Don't feel bad, that's the normal sentiment from reading a tarzana post.

22% increase in Dow Jones Transportation Index since Election Day

Roads and Rails are packed with goods on the move.

Deny if you want LibTards. Your false narratives are falling on deaf ears.
