In this case, for all sides, it should be noted that just delaying also has direct real consequences: heath insurance cos. drop out of the exchanges. So uncertainty is basically repeal.

On a much larger level--global, actually--this is the story of the Trump Presidency. One cannot know for sure what is going to happen with health care, one cannot know for sure what is going to happen with NATO, or anything else.

The problem I have with passionate political people at this point in time has to do with this: they want to paint Trump as being good for the GOP platform. And then move on to a "them vs. us" thing. But that is not our current reality! Should be the main takeaway, the main important point right now: Trump is an iconoclast incomptetent nut, and is not going to let the "us vs. them" thing work! One day the House health bill is fabulous, the next day it's "mean", one day we are fed up with NATO, the next day we are pro-NATO. 

Uncertainty just makes all claims of those trying to practice polarized politics into liars.

But more so, "the economy" needs to know that what politicians say they are going to try to do,that they are going to try to do, not fip flop every day.
