get any big tax breaks. And you are right, the economy of the US is driven by consumer spending...if one recalls, they were begging all of us to spend money back after the 2008 crash. Of course rump is going to be way behind the curve on this time around and the damage is going to be great and take more repair being that rump is org. the economy for him and rich cronies in the driver's seat. Another serious mistake on their part, in that they putting more money in the pockets of the rich, while increasing costs for everyone else in the meantime.

What did they expect? They are not driving the economy as it should be driven, but driving it for their tax cuts and these people don't spend it like the rest of us have to. Disgusting as usual.
