2 weeks into a 4 year administration.

Start to worry after a year.

Right now the Dems are doing there best to stall even the cabinet positions.
Hell we don't even have the treasury secretary approved yet.

We haven't even so much as an announcement of the writing of tax plan.


Uh did you not pay attention to the GOP v POTUS on the border tax?

Also Trump and the GOP said they were focussing on Obamacare first and then moving on to the tax code. IIRC they said it would be stupid to redo the tax code and then repeal and replace Obamacare because Obamacare has so many tax issues entangled in it.

That's complete BS. My business is a small fabrication shop in which the war on coal almost put me out of business. It picked up the day after Trump won the election


Death of coal has to do with market forces and not regs. Sorry.

How do you figure that is not deregulating big business?

Ahhhhhh...POTUS Trump has not been in office a month yet. Look at what he's accomplished in 3 wks vs what Obama did not get done in 8 years. Hard to push a serious agenda bout anything when the DNC has been stone walling his Cabinet appointments. And I do mean the DNC.

Seems like there is a feeling out period going on. Trump is prob going to have to push alot to get these people to do anything. They really are a uniparty.
