Looks like some moderates in the Senate need to move to the for front on this, One problem maybe that the Senate stepped forward in late Dec. of 2017 with a plan and believed they had an agreement with the WH only to have it blow up on them.

Once bitten twice shy

The multiplier effects on the economy will start to accelerate shortly 

IE ships not being able to deliver parts needed for car,heavy equipment, and airline manufacturing, could make for a very interesting spring.


and the people who have been and may yet be laid off will most certainly cut spending in the short term and most likely forgo spending in the intermediate term to build a rainy day fund.
