| The New York Federal Reserve is estimating that the fourth quarter GDP is going to grow at nearly a 4% rate. | |
| This is the Fed in New York. | |
| 4%. | |
| Investor optimism, the highest in almost 20 years. | |
| So I mean the numbers just keep going. | |
| Oh, I wanted to report this because this is a really important point. | |
| CNBC does this all American, they call it all American Economic Survey. | |
| And what they found that was over half of the people who responded to the survey think that the economy is good or excellent. | |
| And 41% think that the economy is going to improve in 2018. | |
| I think that's a relatively low number. | |
| Maybe people have been so crushed by the last eight years they don't want to believe it's gonna get better than it is. | |
| Uh, or maybe they don't like Trump or whatever the situation might be. | |
| But once this tax cut passed today kicks in, you're gonna see real economic growth. | |
| And this psychological component that I mentioned is so important. | |
| That's what the CNBC economic poll found. | |
| Over half of all respondents think the economy is good or excellent. | |
| That's in large part because they now have confidence. | |
| They now have optimism. | |
| They now believe that there is a president there who is championing them and who is there to deliver a strong economy, which is what he ran on. | |
| The guys delivering it. | |
| And of course, the press doesn't want to report any of this. | |
