What I think about this election.
Back from vacation. What a week!
Why did Trump win? I'll offer ten reasons why?
1 ) The middle class, which has slid backward about $5,000.00 a year is hurting. Their health insurance is going up ( Obama promised it would go down ), and working-class to middle-class jobs that do not require a college degree are becoming harder to obtain. I think the Republicans just changed the dynamics of the electoral map, picking up lots of white voters who used to vote Democrat in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsvlanina and Wisconsin and they will keep them once Trump gets the economy going. White women voted for Trump 53%, even with another woman on the ticket and him saying some inappropriate things in the past. Once able-bodied minorities realizes the Democratic support net was never good enough for them, they are welcome to join the party.
2 ) The deficit. If I were to tell you a black man with radical ties who listed his religion as Islam would be elected president in 2005, people would ask what science fiction movie is this? Yet it happened, and the USA is financially broken because of it. Obama, who is the only President not to achieve one-quarter of 3% or higher GDP growth has crippled the USA, accumulating more debt than ALL other presidents combined. Over 9 trillion in debt, and the interest on the debt alone financed by foreign nations is another problem, but the real problem is this: Only 1.4 trillion ( A trillion is 1,000 billion ) is printed, and this amount can not be paid back unless you have incredible inflation.
3 ) Iran now has 150 billion in assets coming their way and a path for a nuclear weapon is they want on. Sure, a nation who sponsors terrorism burns our flags and wishes us death, run by Islamic radicals on Sharia law can have a path to nuclear weapons. I'm sorry, but this is so bad its borderline treason. Iran gave 20+ million to Clinton campagin that we know about. Quid pro quo?
4 ) The labor rate. Forget unemployment ,the government doesn't count it after a person has been out of work for a year. The labor rate, the percentage of people working is at its lowest rate in decades.
5 ) Healthcare. You can keep your doctor and the average family will save $2,500.00 a year on health care coast. Lies, lies, lies.
6 ) Illegal immigration, the drug trade, and crimes against USA citizens. A wall is needed to curb all of the above. Over 500,000 USA citizens were victims of crimes from illegals last year according to FBI statistics. And the drugs from Mexico poison our youths, not pot, the hard stuff. Some say USA citizens won't take the cheap labor jobs. B()ll S&IT.
Supply and demand. Maybe an out of work guy will stay on welfare rather than cut grass for $10.00 and hour, but at $15.00 an hour he might do it, and by the time it hits $18.00 and an hour there will be more applicants than jobs.
7. Taxes. The USA has the 2nd highest corporate tax rate in the world. this is why corporations seek offices and business overseason. They'd rather pay 10% instead of the USA corporate 25%. Trump will lower the rate, bringing jobs back here. Taxes on the average USa citizen are also too high. Give the money back to the people. They will spend it in better ways.
8 ) The Military. Ours is falling behind. enough said.
9 ) Fair trade. The USA has the worst trade policies of any major nation.
A small tariff to balance the scales where they are very unbalanced is needed.
10 ) The Courts. Obama threatens basic rights such as the 2nd Amendment to bear arms, the rights of the unborn, and control under the guise of health care and environment concerns. Trump will preserve these rights and keep the government from forcing citizens to do anything.
In closing, Trump beat the media, corruption, a Bush, and a very crooked Clinton. Very impressive. Now America has a chance to be great again. I wish Trump good health. And judging by his ability to campaign day after day, he's got rare stamina for the job.
