We will have to see which policies of Trump's we progressives need to oppose. A president's first hundred days can shape his Administration more than the rest of his term. Trump will enter office in much the same position as FDR, with both houses of his own party, so big changes are almost guaranteed. We live in interesting times.

I don't know if he's read it (probably not) or even understands the concept of "multiplier" but the effect of leaving Social Security alone, if followed, will be positive for the economy, whether he or Paul Ryan believe it or not.
