Sorry but no.  Trump is trying to fix the sins of the last 30 years but 
I do not think that they are fixable.  Congress is trying to spend even 
more money than we don't have.

Bad times are coming.  There is a documentary already written about the 
economic collapse of the USA: "The Mandibles: A Family, 2029-2047" by 
Lionel Shriver

The disaster starts in 2029.  Yup, just under four years from now. 
Better have a plan.
