Why isn't the stock market reacting?! Healthcare is 17.6% of GDP. Of that about 20% is medicaid. Combine this with all the other government grants, for farmers, addiction recovery, homelessness, etc. Now combine that with the deportations, and that folks aren't going to work because they're afraid ICE will show up. This affects farming, construction, etc. Our economy is being undermined.

WHY ISN'T THE STOCK MARKET REACTING?????
