I believe that Mr. Trump has retained a surprising number of former Goldman Sachs people for his administration. I guess the best way to 'drain the swamp' is to bring the swamp into your home.
Goldman Sachs are largely Democrat supporters, and LIBS in the Jon Corzine mold. Goldman was huge Obama, and Hillary supporters with huge donations to both.
no, it would be good, it just wouldn't be a vindication of their policies, since it was a foregone conclusion.
so, if the economy improves consistently and workers take home pay improves in the next few years, it is "a foregone conclusion". there is no further discussion with you if you hold this mindset. credit will not be given to republicans if the tax bill does these things as, you say, these results were inevitable.
Poor people don't create jobs, but they do have the ability to go to work for an expanding, or start up company. Rich people invest in private businesses to get RICHER. They create jobs, and buy expensive items that are made, repaired, and maintained by laborers, technicians, tradesmen, and engineers.

Yes your right but those job are ALL overseas and will stay there. You mentioned Goldman Sachs in another post, Trump hired Steven Mnuchin of Goldman Sachs and others.
"I know the guys at Goldman Sachs. They have total, total control over him (Ted Cruz). Just like they have total control over Hillary Clinton," Trump said in February 2016.
Trump's latest Goldman hire is Jim Donovan, a two-decade veteran of the Wall Street bank, who was nominated to the No. 2 position at the Treasury Department on Tuesday.
They go where they money goes which once AGAIN shows that there is no difference between the two parties.
Hate to burst your liberal, anti-Trump bubble but Goldman Sachs and all investment banks have always been giving out year end bonuses. It’s the cost of business in that industry, to retain and award the best and brightest, who otherwise may go over to another company.
This has been the practice for as long as I can remember and I am in my mid 40’s under all presidential administrations, including your Obama, who BTW goes to NYC regularly for his speeches and “fund raising” to the Wall Street crowd.
the economy is already growing, it has been for years. a rise in GDP and jobs is expected. its part of the business cycle and would be the case regardless of the tax cuts.
the test, in my view, is the labor market, wages, and deficit in the next 3-5 years. I expect GDP to rise as global corporations become more wealthy, what I want to know is whether Americans at-large will benefit from that GDP growth.
I've never heard anyone explain how a cut to the nominal corporate tax rate will stimulate investment considering the low effective tax rate corporations actually pay. The release of the Paradise Papers showed us that some large corporations are paying an effective tax rate of 0%.
