Wall Street has been brimming with optimism since President Donald Trump’s election, but Main Street’s optimism soared as well. Some say the new GOP health insurance bill may keep that going.
CNBC reporter Kate Rogers said that “Main Street’s outlook post-election is still holding at historically high levels according to the National Federation of Independent Business.”
“While this month’s reading dropped 0.6 points to 105.3, it remains well above the group’s historical average of 98,” she added on CNBC’s Squawk Box March 14.
She told viewers small business owners are happy that the “employer mandate is not a part of that new GOP healthcare plan,” and that could “definitely help keep optimism a little higher.”
