Private investment is surging in the US, growing at 9.4% this year!
Trump has presided over that growth by lowering taxes, fixing energy policy, cutting red tape, repealing bullshit laws and putting America first.
The deadheaded dolt running the show here told us in December 2015 that innovation and his "Ideas Boom" would fix things up for us.
Wanna know how that went?

Private investment growth in Australia is feeble at best - in some sectors investment is contracting, severely - that means job losses.

It takes special skills in stupid to have immigration running at warp-speed while private investment in construction is contracting.
Congratulations on your achievement Chairman Mal.
