Magnificent President Trump Leads US Economy To 3.2% Growth Rate In First Quarter

Let's hope that the working folks notice that their 401k's are tracking upward at a very good clip. As long as the Fed doesn't raise rates too fast the boom should keep going.
Don't celebrate too much, the Debt and Budget Deficit will bite Trump in the ass eventually. Trump and Congress need to balance the budget sooner rather than later. Here are the agenda items that I would like to see addressed:
1. Fix Medicare, and NOT by adding "single payer healthcare", here are a few suggestions, or its insolvent in 2026

2. Fix Social Security, or its insolvent in 2034

3. Raise the top tax rate, add a stock transaction tax, add a "remittance tax" on money sent out of the US, to reduce the Budget Deficit
4. Have another "Grace Commission" to study and eliminate waste in Federal spending

5. Increase the gas tax to pay for Infrastructure spending
6. If needed to balance the budget, add a Federal sales tax

If we don't address the Debt and Budget Deficit the cheering will be short lived, because the economic system will collapse due to the Debt interest exploding and crowding out other spending. Are we going to be the "grasshoppers" or the "ants"?
