It took George W Bush about a year and a half to turn the Clinton economy around...

It appears that Trump may take even less time to turn around the Obama economy?

Bush came into office talking about how the surplus was the "peoples money" and they deserved to have it back in a huge taxcut. He almost accomplished it in the first year but by end of the second year, we were returning to huge deficits. (It had been forecast that if we had stayed on the growth and tax path that we were on, we would have paid off our entire debt by 2011) The debt is now unofficially at $21 trillion dollars. So much for having a balanced budget!

Now, the brilliant economist, Donald Trump, has his own plans on how to make America great again and people with money bought it for awhile. Now the exuberance is becoming a "sobering up" party. The questions about tax and trade policies are being re-questioned? The stock market doesn't like it and it's just a matter of time until the entire economy faces the reality of a dumbass in the White House.

Anyone who worked in tech in Silicon Valley at the time - for example, me - knows that Clinton's Internet bubble began to burst in 2000! Then in 2001 9/11 made it worse.

As for turning "Obama's economy" around, that began soon after Trump was elected, and growth has been accelerating ever since.

Trump's bold moves on tariffs to try and get a more level playing field for the US will temporarily cause some ups and downs.

The only problem will be if politicians don't have the balls to back Trump's plan to even up the trade situation. Of course, the democrats will oppose him from the start, and many of the republicans and democrats will oppose him, because of who is contributing to their campaigns.

This is a good thing. It means the damage Obama did can be quickly overcome.

Somebody must have checked out of the net at the end of 1998, and never gone back through the old news after waking up a few years later.
