http://www.charismanews.com/opinion...merica-now-that-donald-trump-has-been-elected The following are 12 signs of extreme optimism in America now that Donald Trump has been elected: 1. The U.S. dollar is once again the strongest currency in the world. It has soared in value since Trump's stunning election victory and on Wednesday the U.S. dollar index hit the highest level that we have seen since March 2003. 2. Stocks continue to skyrocket in the aftermath of Trump's win. On Wednesday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at a brand-new, all-time-record-closing high of 19083.18. 3. The University of Michigan's consumer expectations index has hit the highest level in 18 months. 4. The percentage of Americans who believe the U.S. will experience "continuous good times" over the next year has risen to 46 percent, which is up 11 percent from the reading in October. 5. Some other newly released numbers show that U.S. consumers are the most optimistic that they have been in a decade. According to the latest report, in some cases, Americans are the most hopeful they have been in more than a decade. For the first time since 2006, 37 percent of households said they expect their personal finances to improve in 2017. Also hitting decade highs: real income expectations, as wage growth continues to gain strength in a broadening swath of the economy. 6. Investor optimism about stock prices has risen to the highest level in 21 months. 7. U.S. manufacturing PMI has hit the highest level in 13 months. 8. The number of U.S. oil rigs in operation has hit a 10 month high. 9. The Federal Reserve appears to think that the U.S. economy is now "strong enough" for a hike in interest rates in December. 10. Now that Trump has won, gun stores are reporting that sales are down significantly as Americans embrace a more positive outlook regarding the future. 11. A new Gallup poll has found that 51 percent of Americans have become "more confident" in Trump's ability to lead the country since the election, and only 40 percent have become "less confident." 12. As I discussed just a few days ago, Gallup has also found that the percentage of Republicans that believe that the U.S. economy is "getting better" jumped from 16 percent just prior to the election to 49 percent after the election. I find it absolutely amazing that Trump is not even in Office yet....and he already has accomplished all of this!
And to think @Bobby Cole you were concerned Trump might have a problem with a preset budget. If he has already accomplished all of the above without even taking the Oath of Office yet and becoming our official next President...the preset budget will be resolved by that time too.
Yes, and I am still concerned. A preset budget has earmarked previously approved x amount of monies to be spent on whatever initiatives he wanted. As long as it has been approved then there is nothing the incoming president can do except to suck it up and try to offset the expenditures such as money that has already been promised for say.......climate change. It may not seem fair, but the books will still read that 5 billion or so was spent under the Trump administration for climate change while in reality he had nothing to do with it. Three or so years from now, if Trump decides to run for re-election those numbers will inevitably be brought up even though they didn't belong to him. Try explaining it on CNN, Meet the Press or even Fox and it'll still fall on deaf ears. I really do not worry about things that do not matter but when it comes to the math, everything matters: The good the bad and the ugly.
@Bobby Cole http://www.cbpp.org/research/introduction-to-budget-reconciliation I'm not positive, but I think this will help Trump change Obama's budget. I wish I had more time to look into this but this week is not going to give me much time for researching for sure.
Yeah, I know how it is. Okay, the presidents budget must be approved by congress and goes from October 1 thru September 30 of the next year. In other words, for Trump's presidential budget to kick in he has to wait until September of 2017.
Well according to that article, they can change some things about Obama's budget but it has to balance out with some other change. And anyway Trump can always say it's Obama's fault because he made that budget! And Trump is very loud and vocal about other people's mistakes!
There is even a few more not covered. Some unemployed now have are getting paid to protesting in anti Trump rallies. Universities expanding their curricula adding cry rooms and dog therapy. Jobs created on recounting votes in different states. So many good things happening
