That's a pretty common tactic for businesses, but that might be all those years in NYC that make me biased. I can recall the constant griping in the daily papers as New York and New Jersey competed for businesses by offering all kinds of tax breaks and other incentives. If Trump does this on a federal level --or gets enough states to do so locally-- we could be looking at four years where the economy looks good as the government pumps large amounts of subsidies into businesses. If Trump manages not to trip all over his own feet --or brashly dismisses his gaffes to the delight of his support base-- and somehow manages to make people forget the growth of debt over the next four years, we could be looking at a landslide in 2020.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
