I'm pretty hopeful that because our economy is so large, it'll hold up much better to hardships. There's a lot of diversity in this country, in resources, skill sets, etc. Maybe that size and diversity will add resilience and flexibility like our beuracracies.

It's interesting to see that last month Tillerson traveled with a small press presence and this month he is doing the same. If I had to guess, he probably just doesn't like the entourage. If I woke up one day to find that people would want to follow me everywhere and listen to what I had to say, I'd be pretty uncomfortable too.
