Your odds just dropped according to many economists, though you can find a few that think it will be rosy. Some also say the world is flat, and that Obama was not born here.
"Perhaps a good thing for your family currently"

A good thing for a lot of families, currently. No "perhaps" about it.

"I am assuming you want your children to live in the future in a growing vibrant economy."

I do. Is that less likely today, than it was in Obama's last day? If so, how so?

"Your odds just dropped according to many economists"

Who? Paul Krugman, who said that the US economy would not survive a Trump presidency?

"Some also say the world is flat, and that Obama was not born here"

I don't say either of these two things. But I can say that Obama helped light a fire under the horribly sick US economy he inherited, and I can say that Trump has poured rocket fuel on that fire. And he did it in a way that helps my take-home pay, in a way that Obama never ever did.
