The big money (corp greed) attacks have already begin. They have no issues to talk about how to keep the economy pumping away. Remember how bad things were when Regan/bush left and when bubba left. The greatest recession since the depression.

unfortunately the economy is not standing on its own, 7 years later.. we get headlines like this one today:

and we think the economy is humming along.. lowest unemployment claims in over 40 years, but we are still afraid to raise interest rates, which are next to zero.. and have been for 7 years.. why is that? because we printed money and spiked the deficit to 17 trillion +... raising interest rates takes that, um, *cough*, TRUMP card away.. raise rates by half a percent, and the house of cards collapses.. billions and billions of unfunded liabilities on Corporate and Municipality balance sheets.
the Democrats have no answer beyond "print money/keep interest rates around zero"..
