Hi Bob, good to hear from you again. I suspect that you are being overly generous in your praise of Trump Low unemployment...it was low when he took office 5% a year ago to 4% now High consumer confidence ...same as when he took office Improved trade agreement ...nothing has been done yet...just a lot of talk Obama Care mandate... yep he got rid of it ,....but this may be a big negative in the 2018 elections The jury is still out. Huge regulation streamlining????? Like What??? Most of these regulations are codified into law and cannot be changed without legislation from the house and senate Energy Deregulation.....this may be good news for Houston but it could be bad news for the rest of the country.. As crude prices rise (Crude USA $ 67.83 and Brent is now $72.80). Houston booms and the rest of the country pays more for gasoline.When gas prices get to $3.50 to $4.50 a gallon....Trump and the Republicans will get the blame. Personally I think that crude prices are being manipulated by Saudi Arabia.. Here's why the Saudi's could be to blame. The more crude prices rise the more valuable the Aramco IPO .become.Aramco will be the first trillion dollar IPO. So if the Saudi's with hold crude from the market, crude prices rise and Houston booms. Democratic Obstructions????? Give me a break....Republicans control both chambers of congress plus the white house....If they can't get things done then its time to put them out to pasture. >With growth all of America benefits< last I heard....the wealthiest taxpayers in the top 2% income bracket got 98% of the tax breaks.... Bob...I think you are a good man....but you have to cut back on watching FOX News. Jerome
