President Donald Trump’s first State of the Union speech highlighted the soaring stock market and rock bottom unemployment.
With consumer confidence at a 17-year high and employees bragging about their 401(k) balances on social media, Trump sounded an upbeat note on the economy. “The stock market has smashed one record after another, gaining $8 trillion in value. That is great news for Americans’ 401k, retirement, pension, and college savings accounts,” Trump said.
