Well now...Lets think back owe eight years or so.
I knew at the time, with a newly voted in Democrat President, along with the Democrats controlling both branches of Congress - Was going to be an interesting ride.
Now eight years hence, we are in a similar situation but on the Republican side of the trajectory. I constantly think of the old pendulum from physics class
One thing that is different from 2009 is that the make-up of the 2018 Senate elections. Thirty-one seats total are up for a vote. Twenty-three being Democrat and eight Republican. With that ratio, I suspects if Trump doesn't step on his dick the GOP will maintain control of that house.
Now just my opinion here: Because of the Democrats play of the
"nuclear option", this has left open to the Republicans all kind of shenanigans possibilities. If they try something like ACA (Affordable Care Act-Obama Care) there is a very good possibility that the Senate could go Democrat in 2018.
May I suggest that forum members take a glance at the Hoover Administration to at least have an inkling as to what might be install for 2017-18. Keep in mind that President Hoover was a Progressive Lite, like Trump is.
Keep in mind leading up to Hoover's Presidency the stock market was booming and he never held an elected office before. Then in October 1929 the stock market crashed. This event sealed Hoover's fate and FDR won the Presidency in 1932. Interestingly in it's self, we all learned in school that Europe had a depression that started in 1931 with the crash of the Creditanstalt Bank in Austria. With the weak financials from the Deutsche Bundesbank in Germany maybe this depression will start in the EU and spread across the pond versus what happened in 1931-ish. Time will tell.
In closing, I have been beating the drum or
that economically, it mattered not who won the US Presidential election. Some gnarly times are a coming.
