I think the country is in serious trouble.
Ken, I always enjoy your thoughts. But as previously pointed out in this thread...
Almost 4 million new jobs have been created since President Trumps election.
African-American, Hispanic-American, and Asian-American unemployment rates have all recently reached the lowest levels in history.
Womens unemployment rate has reached the lowest level in 65 years.
Veterans unemployment rate recently reached its lowest level in nearly 20 years.
The unemployment rate for Americans without high school diplomas is at the lowest level ever recorded, and the Trump administrations new workforce initiative will deliver job-training to more than 4 million Americans.
Manufacturing jobs are being created at the fastest pace in over three decades.
Nearly half-a-million manufacturing jobs have been created since the president took office. In the month of July alone, nearly 40,000 new manufacturing jobs were added.
Almost 3.9 million Americans have been lifted off food stamps since President Trumps election.
The president crafted the largest tax cut in a generation, which led to savings for more than 80 percent of households and pay raises and bonuses for 4 million American workers.
President Trump protected American taxpayers by asking Congress to rescind $15.4 billion in unused appropriations.
The president has hired/nominated an impressive number of women to senior positions in his administration, including the first female director of the CIA, Gina Haspel.
Hes appointed two Supreme Court justices, and the Senate has now confirmed 26 appellate court judges of his choosing, as well as Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch.
He successfully negotiated the return of four American hostages in one months time.
President Trumps Unified Agenda of Regulatory and Deregulatory Action has exceeded the 2:1 mandate, eliminating 22 job-killing regulations for every one new regulatory action.
President Trump signed the Right to Try Act to give terminally ill patients a chance to try lifesaving treatments.
The Department of Homeland Security arrested 796 MS-13 gang members and associates in FY 2017, an 83 percent increase from the previous year.
The president signed the VA Mission Act, which allows veterans who dont live near a VA facility or cant get an appointment in a timely manner to seek medical care from private health-care providers.
Signed the National Defense Authorization Act, which provides an $82 billion funding increase for the Department of Defense over the current period, including a $617 billion Pentagon budget, $22 billion for the nuclear weapons program and $69 billion for U.S. military efforts abroad, as well as new tanks, ships, and planes. The package includes a salary boost for service members, about a 2.6 percent raisethe biggest military pay raise in nearly a decade.
I view all the above as positives. Where do you think the serious trouble lies?
