In reply to the discussion: A record 7 million Americans are 3 months behind on their car payments, a red flag for the economy [View all]IronLionZion
(45,433 posts)14. Trump's economy is a steaming pile of BS
Millions of Americans are left behind or worse off because of his policies. The stock market and jobs numbers don't tell the whole story. People who don't have money invested in the market and don't have high income tax bills won't benefit much from a strong stock market and tax cuts.
The one consolation here is the auto loan industry isn't big enough to take down our economy the way mortgages did.
