We're in a bad spot. And they just keep compounding more mistakes on top of the ones they already made.

And investors getting hammered too. If on the day Trump was inaugurated, you pulled your 401K out of the DOW and put it into a high yield savings account, you'd be ahead today over where you'd be if you left it in the DOW. I realize no one is 100% in the DOW in their 401Ks, but the point remains. In 14 months, the DOW is up about 3% under Trump. It averages 10.4% a year over the last 30 years.

Things are going to get really really bad for the working class.
