    I think businesses support the Trump tax cut because it is the only stimulus on the table. No support among Democrats for fiscal stimulus.

        Federal Reserve has already raised interest rate twice. Stimulus will only lead to higher interest rates to slow growth, stop inflation.

        Businesses don't need stimulus right now. Record profits. Record cash in banks. The middle class needs stimulus.

        I agree, but the best way to do that is by raising wages, which will happen when the demand for labor rises. Tax cuts won't help.

        Where do the workers come from? Houston can't rebuild due to a lack of skilled workers. Meth heads are not going to suddenly appear in the marketplace as responsible engineers.

        Whatever happened to the promised big infrastructure plan? I think there’d be plenty of Democratic support for a decent program.

        Democrats are waiting for the economic downturn from the Fed easy money during the Obama administration. They may be waiting for Godot.
