Predicting the future is never easy.    We have some brilliant professionals that are constantly analyzing  potential future outcomes under a myriad of scenarios.    I'm sure the best are trying to be rational in their analysis, but it's difficult not to make a ton of assumptions without real time evidence.

Have you heard the term 'fuzzy logic' Motley?    It comes from software programs that instead of calculating a single course of action using a complex logic structure, it allow thousands of calculation to redirect a course based on the flow of the most current information.  (If we're talking about servo motors, those corrections are made in milliseconds.)

When we are trying to predict the future, it becomes increasingly more accurate the closer we get to our target date.   That's why I'm trying not to jump to conclusion about the consequences of this administrations actions so early in the term.
