Today I read that Eric Swalwell states that “Impeachment is
the only way to save the country.” We
hear this sentiment coming from the mouths of most Democrats these days. The ever-increasing mob of Democrat
candidates seem to all center their campaign on the argument that in order to
save us all, President Trump must be removed; if not we are all doomed.
I would like to ask just exactly what we must save ourselves
from. What are the horrible things that
the President is doing for the Country?
Let me list just a few of what he has accomplished despite being under
constant attack since taking office:
-Almost
4 million jobs created since election.
-More Americans are now employed than ever
recorded before in our history.
-Manufacturing
jobs growing at the fastest rate in more than three decades. Over 400,000 manufacturing jobs since Trump’s
election.
-Economic growth
last quarter hit 4.2 percent.
-New unemployment
claims recently hit a 49-year low.
-Median household
income has hit highest level ever recorded.
-African-American
unemployment has recently achieved the lowest rate ever recorded.
-Hispanic-American
unemployment is at the lowest rate ever recorded.
-Asian-American
unemployment recently achieved the lowest rate ever recorded.
-Women’s
unemployment recently reached the lowest rate in 65 years.
-Youth
unemployment has recently hit the lowest rate in nearly half a century.
-Lowest
unemployment rate ever recorded for Americans without a high school diploma.
-Veterans’
unemployment recently reached its lowest rate in nearly 20 years.
-Almost 3.9
million Americans have been lifted off food stamps since the election.
-The Pledge to
America’s Workers has resulted in employers committing to train more than 4
million Americans. The current Administration is committed to vocational
education.
-95 percent of
U.S. manufacturers are optimistic about the future—the highest ever.
-Retail sales
surged last month, up another 6 percent over last year.
-Signed package
of tax cuts and reforms. After tax cuts, over $300 billion poured back in to
the U.S. in the first quarter alone.
-As a result of Trump’s
tax bill, small businesses will have the lowest top marginal tax rate in more
than 80 years.
-Enacted
regulatory relief for community banks and credit unions.
-Obamacare
individual mandate penalty gone.
- Trump administration
is providing more affordable healthcare options for Americans through
association health plans and short-term duration plans.
-Last month, the
FDA approved more affordable generic drugs than ever before in history. Many
drug companies are also freezing or reversing planned price increases.
-Reformed the
Medicare program to stop hospitals from overcharging low-income seniors on
their drugs—saving seniors hundreds of millions of dollars this year alone.
-Signed
Right-To-Try legislation.
-Secured $6
billion in NEW funding to fight the opioid epidemic. Reduced high-dose opioid prescriptions by 16
percent during first year in office.
-Signed VA Choice
Act and VA Accountability Act, expanded VA telehealth services,
walk-in-clinics, and same-day urgent primary and mental health care.
-Withdrew the
United States from the job-killing and otherwise ineffective Paris Climate
Accord.
-Cancelled the
illegal, anti-coal, so-called Clean Power Plan.
-Secured record
$700 billion in military funding; $716 billion next year.
-NATO allies are
spending $69 billion more on defense since 2016.
-Withdrew from
the horrible, one-sided Iran Deal.
-Moved U.S.
Embassy to Jerusalem.
-Protecting
Americans from terrorists with the Travel Ban, upheld by Supreme Court.
-Concluded a
historic U.S.-Mexico Trade Deal to replace NAFTA. And negotiations with Canada
are underway.
-Reached a
breakthrough agreement with the E.U. to increase U.S. exports.
-Imposed tariffs
on foreign steel and aluminum to protect our national security.
-Imposed tariffs
on China in response to China’s forced technology transfer, intellectual
property theft, and their chronically abusive trade practices.
-Net exports are
on track to increase by $59 billion this year.
This list could go on and on.
The list of accomplishments looks pretty good to most Americans. It certainly does not look like something
from which we need to save the country.
The list does not look so good to Democrats who tried for years to
make America great again but failed miserably.
It probably embarrasses them that Trump, the man they love to hate, succeeded
where they failed. Perhaps that is why
their colleagues in the main stream media rarely report on these and other accomplishments,
but rather focus on the ways to destroy Trump and with him his powerful
Administration and its many positive results for the Country.
So from what exactly do the Democrats think the country needs
saving? Anyone who loves this Country,
including Democrats, should be cheering at America’s successes. But, instead, the Democrats tell us we need
to save the Country. “From what?” I ask. The only possible answer that comes to mind
is “from the Democrats” who would save us from our successes just for their own
lust for power. This is something that I
hope every voter remembers and for which every citizen holds his or her elected
officials accountable.
