Sadly, I don't think they would help. Sanity would suggest a "oh no, they are taking away overtime from workers, that's bad!" reaction. Reality suggests a "good, *I* don't get overtime, why should those fat cats who work for THE GOVERNMENT get it" one.

you can never really explain why the stock market is doing anything and it's noisy as all hell so i wouldn't try to read into it too much. that said, the current rally since trump was elected is virtually entirely based on the assumption that republicans will be successful in cutting taxes. i would look at things in that lens: if it's because of DACA, it's more about if stuffing DACA onto the legislative calendar before the midterm elections makes it a little less likely taxes get cut.

Hi!

We moved into manufactured housing in the Bay Area because the mortgage, combined with lot rent and insurance, plus getting a car and insurance for that, was still cheaper than the apartment we'd been renting for 7 years. If we live here for 11 years (9 more), it will entirely pay for itself.

Nothing. Those assumptions are already priced in.

The only thing that would crash the market is an unforeseen event. And Trump being a shithead was definitely not unforeseen.

the market will likely drop if the market concludes that tax cuts won't actually happen because that tax cut is already priced in. that said, the other half of the bubble is there's nowhere else for the money to go: there's too much capital chasing returns because interest rates are still effectively zero, so we'll see: forcasting the stock market is usually a fools' errand because while it tends to always revert to the fundamentals, when it is going to do that is virtually impossible to predict

the collapse of bear stearns should have told everyone the jig was up w/r/t the subprime mortgage crisis but somehow the music kept playing for another half a year until lehman collapsed back in 2008

So, killing DACA can only lead down two paths:

A. This is the worst thing the administration will do to immigrants, and all subsequent policies will be *only* equally harmful or less harmful.
B. This is not the worst thing the administration will do to immigrants, and some subsequent actions will actually be *worse*.

The administration definitely wants B (we have every reason to believe that they will only get worse, not better), and ending DACA is probably a bridge to expanding action against legal immigrants or coming down harder on illegal immigrants. But what can they actually get away with that's worse than this?

i dont think the risk of tax cuts failing is priced in, but even if it is, that risk going from what it is now to 100% should move the market because it's a minority view that failure to pass tax cuts is even a 50% shot
