He may be my president, but, he is your "guy." Otherwise, you would not waste your time trying to prove he is great. As for construction, Census Bureau data show that construction spending in the U.S. has been rising since February 2011—when it was just shy of an annualized $755 billion—to $1.09 trillion in September 2015. The current and continued growth is credited to demand and low interest rates, instituted by the Federal Reserve in the last years of George W. Bush's term and continued through Obama's eight years. The kind of growth seen in construction, given the need to plan, design and do al the other stuff needed, could not possibly be an outcome of the tax cut. Besides, I can find no evidence that large portions of that money was invested in anything other than buying back stock. Buying back stock does not cause growth in the building industry. What we are seeing is more likely a continuation of unmet need, turning into demand once the economy recovered from the Great Recession..
