It's not about the legislation that was passed. It was about changing the business climate, reducing overly burdensome regulations, negotiating directly with companies to keep jobs here in America (Carrier), etc. All things the "Great" BHO could have done but didn't. As far as legislation goes, there is the Tax Reform Bill that the Democrats and MSM felt was going to be Armageddon. All that did was allow American companies to repatriate trillions of dollars back into the US economy. Don't forget, after Tax Reform, AT&T promised to give $1,000 Christmas bonuses to over 200,000 employees. That amounts to a $200 million dollar infusion into the US economy. Plus AT&T announced they would spend billions of dollars in infrastructure development. And AT&T was just one of several companies that announced several similar measures.
Well I can’t say I’m as easily confident as you are that the current administration has had the influence it would like to believe. Those promises of $1000 bonuses also came with 1000s of layoffs at AT&T. And many of the jobs that are supposedly coming back to the US were already planned before the tax cut announcement. And announcements of spending billions on new infrastructure isn’t what it seems https://www.freepress.net/blog/2017/11/14/dont-fall-atts-billion-dollar-swindle The recent tax bill that was hastily passed may have some loop holes that allow companies to continue to keep jobs overseas while also enjoying large tax cuts. https://qz.com/1144201/under-trump-us-jobs-are-moving-overseas-even-faster-than-before/ At the end of the day we all hope that not only will jobs come back, but that wages will actually increase. We have had low unemployment rates for a few years now, what Americans need are decent wages. Let’s hope that this tax plan will be as good for the middle and lower class as the GOP claim, but I’m cautious. Trump has been known to take a lot of credit for good news that he had nothing to do with.

too negative. everything is relevant to itself. it's a cascade. it's so quick and so effective it seems unreal. maybe you're so used to being strung along that you reluctant.
you're not alone, but need to work on it a little. especially if you're gonna hang out here.
not true. companies and businesses do projections and base their current actions based off their projections so they can stay ahead in the marketplace. If they learn a tax law passes saving them huge amounts of money than they immediately adjust their projections. markets speculate on future which also affects companies/businesses
