OK
America, there is an election coming up.
It will not be until November of 2020; but whether you realize it or
not…it has already begun. There are
basically three questions that all voters will need to consider. First, do you want the Republicans to
maintain control of the Senate? The
Senate is the body of Congress that, along with the President, will determine
the identity of the federal judiciary. Secondly,
do you want the Democrats to maintain control of the House? We as Americans have developed a preference
for divided government; but with the politically-poisonous environment we now have in
WDC, a divided Congress simply leads us to legislative gridlock. Some might prefer that; but I submit that changes need to be made and that requires legislation be passed. A unified Congress at least gives us the
option to vote up or down on the policies of the party in control. That
is a preferable choice to the gridlock we have watched the last two presidents deal
with. Third, do you want President Trump
for another four years? There is a
literal lifetime between now and when you will cast your vote and things…important things…will likely change
during that time period. But the
fundamental issues regarding the aforementioned three questions are pretty well
cast in stone. Look at the facts for
yourself. Read the following news reports
and note that they come from both sides of the political aisle…liberal and
conservative sources.
Do
you like what you’ve got now?
By
any measure you would like to choose, the U.S. economy is performing in an
outstanding fashion. It is no accident. Trump campaigned on tax reform, fair trade
deals, and less regulation. That is what
he has delivered and that is what he is continuing to pursue. This
is what it has resulted in.
Working
people are finally seeing more real dollars in their paychecks. Jobs are opportunities. A paycheck instills pride and ambition. The ability to financially support oneself
and dependents establishes a strong foundation for the growth and development
of families.
Ambitious
people who want to find better employment now have greater opportunities than
ever to seek those jobs; all people
from all walks of life. Working people can now aspire to fulfill
their dreams and ideals…to actively seek better-paying and more fulfilling
vocations.
Notwithstanding
all the dire consequences trumpeted by the liberal media, the booming economy
is marching forward without the dire consequences of hyper inflation. Economic growth is truly effective when it
outperforms the rate of inflation. This is real growth. This is gain that leads to a stronger society
and a better quality of life.
American
tax rates are the envy of the world these days.
Now if we can just get Congress to handle those tax proceeds in a more
responsible manner. It is not the time to
fall back to higher tax rates that will fund new spending that will, in turn,
simply add depth to the already-cavernous federal deficit and debt. It is time to establish priorities, eliminate
redundancies in government, and address the needs of the people that are
uniquely governmental in nature. Leave
the rest to our society. We must begin to
shrink the burgeoning beast that is our government.
Do
you like what the Democratic Party is promising?
Call them what you will, the new policies being proposed by the powerful left wing of the Democratic Party
are neither free-market or capitalist oriented.
They betray the founding principles upon which this nation was
formed. They remove incentives to work
hard, to be held accountable for one’s actions, and to accumulate wealth
through generational efforts.
If
this is what you want, you really need to understand how it is paid for. There is NO
FREE LUNCH in this world. There can
be a legitimate debate about how our government should function…what programs
it should handle and which might be left to the people. What cannot be denied is that government has
a cost and the more government you have…the higher the cost.
Every…single…Democratic
Presidential candidate is being pulled leftward. Do not be fooled by Joe Biden or anyone else;
there is not a moderate in the bunch. It
is a fool’s errand to think that a presidential aspirant can run on one set of
principles to obtain their party’s nomination and then do a one-eighty degree
turn to a new set of policies for the general election. Trust your instincts. Listen to the candidates. What you see is what you will get.

Now
here are some current issues with shared blame between Democrats and
Republicans that need addressing; but which
party can handle them best?
This
man was hired by Obama and retained by Trump.
Why and how are people like this
allowed to serve in government? Why are they even allowed to walk free among us? Can
there be any doubt whatsoever that money and raw power rules our country?
Both
national parties love themselves some corporate welfare and the Ex/Im Bank
delivers it in spades. This program
should be dead and buried.
No
matter what they may say during campaigns, neither political party has the
intestinal fortitude to actually be honest about the federal deficit and begin
to address it seriously. It is a curse
that is being manifested on future generations.
The
decision in November of 2020 will be yours.
Think hard about your choices.
President
Trump clearly needs to improve his
Presidential image, and performance, in some regards. His
threats, his tweets, and his bombastic rhetoric do not move the WDC political
needle in a positive direction. But
given the absolute improvements that we have seen over the last two years in
domestic and foreign policies, I believe it is a clear choice to give Donald
Trump an opportunity…at least at this point in time…to grow into a better image while continuing to implement effective
policies. Without a doubt, he has had to
function during his first two years in office with the anti-Trump cabal that has
literally tied one of his political arms behind his back. Now that he is freed up, perhaps…and
hopefully…we will see a more amiable, reasonable, effective, and mature President
Trump in days to come.
