Would you describe the state of the nation's economy these days as excellent, good, not so good, or poor?

Who do you believe is more responsible for the current state of the economy: former President Obama or President Trump?

1- Not so good.

2- Congress.

And, I'd say it's going to get worse. I'm not a fiscal expert, but I think local jobs drive more income than big business jobs, at least in the last 30ish years. And policies that promote big business over small makes it hard for smaller businesses to compete, so they do less hiring and less buying. A guy with a machine shop in Toledo and 10 employees can't just get $10 million in state incentives to move his production to Mexico or automate it, instead he's got to make less revenue, hire fewer employees or raise costs that may make him uncompetitive.
