I predict that Trump will pass a huge infrastructure bill in 2018, that will create jobs for millions.

I predict that the D's will attempt to indict Trump for Russian salad dressing, that failing will move on to some checkbox he failed to check on his 1983 tax return, that failing will try to jump on the #metoo bandwagon and open a investigation into sexual claims, that failing will change the definition of high crimes to parking tickets issued in the early 2000's.

Democrats will take back the House and then fail to get the votes for impeachment thereby incensing their loony left wing nut base.  GOP will hold onto the Senate, barely.  GDP growth will be 3.5%.  Tax reform will be more popular than unpopular.  Trump approval numbers around 40% as the 80% to 90% of Americans see tax relief....or more money from credits for those that pay no Federal taxes.  And finally.....there will be a 10% correction to the stock market in the fall as the Fed accelerates the rate increases.

as stupid FED thinks they must increase rates to justify their job--hoiusing purchases /construction will slow dramatically as mortgage rates hit 5%; theres still too much personal debt out there for borrowers to qualify at higher rates

I have been wondering what the new tax legislation will do to the second home market.  Unless people are buying all cash, it could put a real dent in the million dollar lake home sales around Lake Martin.

Obviously it will hurt only those homes over $750K and is grandfathered.  Just a quick look at zillow.com and it appears to me that most of the houses for sale on LM are less than $750K.  What I don't know is whether that limit is cumulative or not (i.e., primary plus secondary homes).  I suspect that many people don't buy a lake home for the tax deduction but no doubt it is a factor in the price range one would look at.
