All that's really going to happen with the new administration is some minor tweaking of the dials, largely to the benefit of corporations and the wealthy and some non-significant tariffs and talk of big tariffs that won't happen. Most of what was said was just a lot of talk to appease the base, who are largely comprised of lower middle class and lower and will reap no benefits. Barring another COVID and/or market bubble, what's going to happen is the ultra wealthy will certainly get much more wealthy over the next 4 years. The rest of us? Not so much. We'll be pretty stagnant or worse at the end of 4 years. History repeats itself, just in slightly different but similar forms.
