That's all well and good, but the GDP rates were through the roof during the Reagan years, they averaged nearly 3.5%. Far superior to what we see today. Workforce participation is at nearly a 40 year low, which completely skews most employment statistics that would likely be pretty meager today if considered. I was not implying you were toting Democrats, simply that what better realistic alternatives currently exist? Trump was in the private sector, ofcourse he would take whatever he could to improve his bottom line (As has every other business). I don't think many are painting Donald Trump as Warren Buffett. Then again, Warren Buffett isn't running for President. So above average in terms of investment growth, significant experience globally in business, private sector experience (employing 10,000+ people). I'd consider that experience tangible and light years ahead of "Wife of Bill Clinton", "Socialist promising the world", "Son and Brother of Presidents". And I suspect that this is a primary driver of why many support him. |
Again, we discussed Reagan's economic achievements months ago and the conclusion that I arrived at was that he was quite mediocre, much like Trump.
Why must one support Trump or another Republican / Democrat? If every candidate is unfit for office and both parties are corrupt then don't support any of them. I personally only vote in elections which actually have promising individuals that I actually have faith in.
Trump bought into the neo-corporatist system that is destroying America, he is certainly not the solution to the greatest threat to the peace, prosperity and liberty of the people.
I can certainly understand why somebody would view Trump as the best of a bad situation although I must disagree. He hasn't accomplished anything that I would regard as impressive and once you couple that with his other shortcomings I just see another failure waiting to happen. It doesn't matter though, the country is doomed in the long run no matter who wins this, or any other election.
