    In fairness, it doesn't state what those numbers even represent, nor what the shift in numbers are for and/or why.

    Obama took office BEFORE he sold us out to China. Not even a nice try to hide a lie.

    Yeah I'm being a dick here, but if you don't instantly recognize this graph then you don't get to have any economic opinions. It is the most basic economic data. It's the Dow Jones Industrial Average

    Not everyone follows the markets out there. Hell, a simple labeling of what it is, or a short blurb of what and why you were posting wouldn't have hurt. To say someone doesn't get to have an opinion is retarded.

    Trump economic adviser appears surprised by CEO tax proposal response
    http://thehill.com/policy/finance/36...st-more-if-tax

    During an event for the Wall Street Journal's CEO Council, an editor at The Wall Street Journal asked the room: "If the tax reform bill goes through, do you plan to increase investment — your company's investment, capital investment?"
    People were asked to raise their hand.

    When few hands were raised, Cohn, the White House Economic Council director, asked: "Why aren't the other hands up?"

    If it's not a Flat tax it's not fair.
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
