In less than two weeks, this country’s voters will go to the polls for midterm elections. Some believe this Election Day is the most significant one in years, especially in terms of the economy.
How will the composition of the 116th Congress impact investor and other economy-related decision-making?
If Republicans hold on to their majority, will it set the stage for party leaders to address deficit concerns? Or if Democrats take control of the House, can we expect to see legislative gridlock for the next two years?
Whatever the outcome, it will be time for postmortem analysis.
