I was referring to the thread title and "Get ready for four years of the greatest economic expansion in US history. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!" mostly. I thought about this thread in light of recent developements and the discussion here. I have to tell you your analysis of the situation in this and other threads has been pretty much spot on. I´ve never been motivated enough to discuss political and economic topics with most of the people on this board since they won´t move an inch from their mostly extreme positions anyways. But it´s allways interesting what you (and some other posters) have to say.
