Hell, I need to refi my house and the rates have already climbed enough just the past few months (because of the tax plan) to pretty much negate any potential tax savings I may get.

Additionally, do you know how much positive corporate investment and job growth happened since the recession which if announced today you'd be wetting your pants over?
I did wet my pants at what my IRA did during the obama years, and I always give him some credit for that. Unlike you, I can give honest praise and criticism on both sides.
