I know those of you in the MDL sure have your fingers crossed that the economy will tank

Not sure what "MDL" is.. but why would I want the economy to tank. 

If the economy is booming my work is booming. 

 

The biggest issue I have is how the growth is being spread( ya know... Equity).

Very ingeniously  made up in fact. Not derogatory at all. Just refers to a position because we use MDR to refer to the right also. Of course the MOR for middle of the road, but since I am the only one here I never talk about myself

It stands for Muddy Ditch Left . MDR is muddy ditch right and MOR is middle of the road, also know as Nature Boy.

 

We were joking around one day and said someone was so far left, they had run off the road into the muddy ditch.

   MOR should really be MDM. Cause it looks like this road has a muddy ditch in the middle too.

  Yeah I was just kidding. It's muddy ditch left, and we should really give NB full credit and royalties every time we use it.

   I have to say, we are getting a little loose with the term ingenious lately.

Trump has attained the unattainable. He also waved his magic jobs wand.

It much easier when you have give away budgets. The bill for this be due so sooner or later. I bet he's hoping to pin the downturn on the Dems. The screams for deficit reductions will once again be heard in the Republican party.

  Someone here likes to post that the GDP growth every quarter under Trump has been higher than any quarter under Obama during the entire 8 years. Best to compare annual growth to annual, or quarterly to quarterly.

 

  If that's even important I guess. I've said this before, but I do give credit to Trump for having a positive effect on consumer confidence. My wife and I take advantage of this ourselves to pick up extra shifts and hopefully finish paying off her new car ASAP. My own sense of consumer confidence tells me this economy won't last forever, regardless of who is president, and it also tells me the next downturn will probably be worse than the last one. Now is a good time to prepare for that.

Ide rather just slightly change the term so I can avoid such royalties. 

I'm stingy like that.

I am probably older than you, but I don't think we will see any downturn in our lifetime like the last one we suffered.  For sure the economy will have peaks and valleys.

I can attest to the economy being very robust.

I am a business owner and we are having an great year and it seems as if each month is better than the last. It  truly amazing how strong the economy is.

 

I suffered thru the 2009 to 2012 downturn and actually lived on credit cards back in that time period to survive.
