Twenty Five Days

Twenty Five Days Food prices are high. Yep. They are. But "context" and "perspective" need to be essential considerations in determining who to vote for in 2024. I know that few, if any people, will even read this blog post. Heck! I don't even know if any people read blogs. But you never know so here I go. Former President Obama spoke in Pittsburgh last night on behalf of Vice President Harris. He brought up the point that he handed over a pretty good economy. He really did. The stock market was high, inflation was under control, interest rates were low and the United States was working with international partners to tackle the global challenges to help make our world a better place for all people especially people in the United States. The Affordable Care Act was all about helping all p[eople afford health insurance. Climate change was being worked on and he was leading the international community to stand up to Russia after the invasion of Crimea. President Trump really did inherit a good situation as he took office. Fast forward to January of 2020. Covid was at its peak. Dealing with Covid was a Trump disaster. We laugh about using bleach to get rid of the virus. But he really said it. The list of screw ups is too long for me to cover here but it led to record high unemployment, extremely high inflation, a nine trillion dollar deficit in his four years in office. Biden and Harris have lowered unemployment to record lows, brought inflation down and established a "soft Landing" that most experts never thought possible and is on track to reducing the defiscit in his four years compared to Trump. Are you better off now than four years ago? By every measure, most of us are and many still support Trump. Many are doing much, much better as the stock markets are at record highs. Yes! Context and perspective are critical as we decide who to vote for. Somebody might read this blog and consider these as we get ready to vote. That is my hope and I hope I'll take the time to do a blog a day until election day. I also want to thank anyone who might read this post.
