Even though after you hear this top monologue, i think youll agree we shouldnt be. First complain how political news interacts with stocks in general and then drill down to the specifics. Facts. Biggest single legislative push out of of washington this year is effort to repeal and replace obamacare. Maybe thats not how President Trump wanted it to play out. I think he favored tax to promote economic growth. Did he compromise with republicans in congress . Did his allies hijack the agenda because hated obamacare so much couldnt think straight .
