Re: Cool, appreciate your insight on this topic.


Getting ready to go offline for the day. Will try to post more thoughtfully later. A few quick hits:

- I am for the corp cuts. I am against the personal changes (at least at the moment)
- You'll see div increases and share repurchases. But you'll see investment, too. Money flows to the highest after-tax returnunually. Companies (at least large companies) have war rooms of bean counters evaluating opportunities. This provides a significant funding source; a huge opportunity.
-I'm not making the leap to "gutting SS and Medicare". Independent of tax reform, these programs need adjustment (revenue and cost containment on Medicare, structure adjustment on SS).
- back to div cuts and stock buybacks, both should be highly beneficial to the Treasury. I know you're not a trickle down type, but it works (one may quibble with those advantaged, and I agree). and works here very well. Just follow a dollar through the ecosystem.

Anyway, more later.
