No - but right now its helping a lot and when you're not doing well, you can't look five years down the road. You maybe look a few months ahead.

For the first time in a decade Average Joe is getting a wage increase and getting the number of hours worked that he wants to. Business and consumer confidence is back. And right or wrong trump gets the credit because of the messaging that all his initiatives - cut red tape, reduce regulations, cut taxes, end illigal immigration, make trade deals a better deal - would make the economy great again. And the economy is on fire - ergo, republicans are winning on the economy.

There is no blue wave. Because as morally bankrupt as the Republicans might be...the economy, stupid.
This is the dumbest thing I read all night. Thanks, I needed the chuckle.
