Since Trump’s election there has not been an economic boom, rather just steady growth that began before he took office. On top of fading economic forecasts, the Senate health bill Trump endorsed could slash hundreds of thousands of jobs and stunt growth in the healthcare industry.<\/p>\n

“After Donald J. Trump won the presidential election, Americans' optimism about the economic future soared. But midway through the year, that optimism has not translated into concrete economic gains… For all of business executives’ apparent enthusiasm, the nation is adding jobs more slowly in 2017 than it did in 2016, and investment spending by businesses is growing modestly; new orders for capital goods are up only 0.7 percent so far in 2017.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
