Truer words were never spoken. That's exactly what this is, and nothing more. Trump has no clue what he's doing, but his supporters are so ignorant that they will never understand this.

Yep. It's easy for you to make inane statements because you don't have any responsibility to the shareholders. At least you admit it.

And it is completely fine with me. I love what I do, and have been doing it for over 20 years now. Just need another 12-15 then I can enjoy the rural life permanently at our lake side cabin in Northern MI.

Nope, no liftgate here. As far as the full size SUV, you might like the next release. The 3rd row always gets the shaft though, there are cargo restrictions from the back, then 2nd row seating restrictions and all of it just compromises the 3rd row occupants. Do people really utilize that 3rd row though ? We joke here that the only thing in that seat is the family dog.

My good friend had to buy an Arcadia and I'm on my second Traverse. The 3rd row for me at least, is crucial. I looked at the Suburaban and Yukon XL and decided on the Traverse for the price point. What you get for the price of the Traverse is a lot a comfort and utility. I'm not sure why anyone would buy the current gen Tahoe/Yukon (reg size) unless they require the higher towing capacity. But yeah the 3rd row does get used a lot by a combination of kids and in laws.

Can't wait to see the next release of Tahoe/Yukon (reg size) maybe they'll have a fully usable 3rd row for adults with some cargo and same or better towing capacity, am I asking for too much?

Yeah, for me I would prefer the Yukon XL. I'd love a current model, it's just the wife, myself and a couple of King Charles Cavaliers. I do need the towing though for our winter and summer toys.
The wife currently has an XT5 and I just can't get into the small SUV thing. I wish she would have went with a CTS , but happy wife , happy life.

Trump gave away the farm to corporations with the tax cuts--so everything would be great for corporations here--right before he stabbed them in the back in typical Trump style.

How about $12 billion to the auto industry?

He's going to run out of money to give away to the victims of his policies.

If Trump can convince his numskull base that these tariffs are a good thing, he certainly could have convinced them that TPP was as well.
NAFTA has brought the trade deficit in line with Canada and Mexico. True, the US was running a slight deficit but not much compared to Asian countries. The TPP most likely would have helped with the deficit in much the same way and would have gone a long way in balancing trade.


The damage Trump has done to the economy, nationally and world wide, will take years if not generations to repair. It is something that takes fine tuning and adjustment over time and Trump has just walked in with a sledge hammer and started bashing away, wrecking havoc.

So, you are saying we are in worse shape then from 1990 to 2010 ? 5 million jobs lost to manufacturing alone.

I'm saying Trump can't see the forest for the trees. He is reactionary and myopic. Virtually every expert that has spent their lives studying economics and security and politics are advising Trump and he ignores them all. He thinks he is superior and knows everything. That is foolish and makes Trump a fool.

Every organization in the world has specialists and experts whether it is accounting or waste disposal. No CEO worth a damn ignores his advisors like Trump does. He is a bull in a china shop and sooner or later someone is going to have to pick up a lot of broken glass.
