Tommy, I remember you saying that and believe me, we are on the same page. I also just purchased some more physical silver during this recent price dip. It could be our last chance to get some on the cheap.
It's the Senators on the Freedom Caucus that are trying to do the right thing. Everyone wants to call them down because as You said they're just doing what they were elected to do. They want to reign in this big, bloated, government and they're being criticized for it. I applaud them.
IMO Trump won't follow their example because he's not a real conservative at heart. That's the underlying conflict between him and the conservative faction of the Rep. Party. I don't know if you saw it, but the other day when he had his White House meeting with the Rep. Senators about getting the healthcare bill passed he said just get a bill passed and I'll sign it. He doesn't give a damn about it being a good replacement for Obamacare or not, all he cares about is getting SOMETHING passed and not having egg on his face in the end. I'm really skeptical of Trump making it through one term.
IMO they may not get tax reform done THIS year and as I said back shortly after Trump was elected...all the crap he's been promising is not going to happen before the shit hits the fan moment comes. I'm sticking by that prediction.
I'm skeptical of QT ever starting too depending on the timing of future events, but even if they do start QT it will be reversed in short order. They will most likely wait to start it though because they don't want to look any more stupid than they currently are.
Like you, I'm expecting to see a big rise in the PM sector when all this crap finally comes to a head. FFMGF should benefit greatly.
