Trump's Policies Have Shaken a Once-Solid Economic Outlook

Sure, but it’s useful for the bond market and managing the massive national debt.<p>But also was the economy really solid? A small number of tech companies having runaway valuation isn’t the same as the everyday worker feeling stable. Social media is full of people complaining that the only people really spending are the top 10%. I think <i>that</i> problem is much harder to fix and neither party has a good plan for it.

People don’t seem to be benefiting in a uniform way from the “solid” economy we have had for awhile. We just had an election about this where there was a disagreement as to whether the economy was “solid” or not.
