SUMMARY:How have Trump’s economic policies fared during the first two years of his term? Paul Solman sits down with the President’s top economic adviser, Kevin Hassett, to discuss recent stock market volatility, the Federal Reserve, tariffs, trade, and whether the tax cut has delivered as much as was promised.
IMHO: This is a 'duh' question. Answer, Republican Tax Cuts.

SUMMARY:With the close of the government's fiscal year, numbers out this week show the federal budget deficit taking a 17 percent jump from 2017, despite significant economic growth. John Yang takes a closer look into the data and speaks with political correspondent Lisa Desjardins, and David Wessel director of the Hutchins Center on Fiscal and Monetary Policy at the Brookings Institution, for analysis.
I am Retired U.S. Navy (22yrs) and a Vietnam Veteran. After my Navy retirement I was in the computer related industry, now retired. In 2000 I was a registered Republican and voted for George W. Bush. Six months of having Bush in the Whitehouse forced me to re-evaluate my political stance. I had always thought of myself as a Moderate Republican, but was a Republican by "default" NOT because of close examination of the GOP. Due to what has happened in America since 2000, I now consider myself a progressive, and registered as a Non-Affiliated voter.
