The Middle Class is disappearing and shrinking because of a lack of good paying jobs.

The establishment politicians basically told us over the last 8 years that it's all over for us. No more "good times" economically. All good jobs are gone and never coming back.
GDP can never be more than 1.5% again.

All doom and gloom.

I never believed a word of it.
Pres. Jimmy Carter pretty much did the same thing in the late 1970's with his "Morose Speech".
America's greatest days were behind us and recession and high unemployment and low wages were going to be the new "norm".

Then Reagan came along. It was "Morning In America" (simple slogan...big results).

I've seen this play out in my own lifetime.

And if you look back at history you'll see the same thing over and over.

The only difference was Pres. Obama ended up winning re-election after failing to deliver on the "Summer of Recovery" of 2009.

Carter got his ass voted out of office for allowing 4 long years of economic disaster.

Obama got a pass because...he was our historic first black President.
Romney should have chewed him up because of the bad economy and his failure to do anything about it in 4 long years.
So we ended up with 8 long years.

Now..."Make America Great Again" is the new "Morning In America" slogan.

You are seeing it happen with your own eyes...but for some reason you have convinced yourself that you MUST hate Donald Trump.

You're not alone. Half the country seems seized up with hatred.

It's not healthy. And it doesn't reflect reality.

By the way the economy was NOT "abused" by Bush. It was doing very well.
The HOUSING MARKET collapsed. THAT is what destroyed the economy.

One of the things that Bush had nothing to do with.

But all of the Obama-pologists constantly repeat that ignorant mantra.

So once and for all...BUSH DID NOT HURT THE ECONOMY.
The housing market crashed. Banks were left losing billions of dollars on mortgage loans that were now all "underwater".
And like dominoes things went down.

Both Bush and Obama handed out a TRILLION dollars each...to the banks.

They COULD have handed out 2 trillion dollars to all the homeowners and let them pay off their mortgages and still saved the banks AND re-ignited the economy AND stopped a lot of misery.

But they both chose to hand money to the wealthy bank corporations instead.

And the middle class shrunk.
And during Pres. Obama's presidency...the workforce participation fell to it's lowest in over 40 years among qualified people of working age (not retired senior citizens like the Obama-pologists tried to claim...they are NEVER counted in the workforce participation numbers). Food stamps were at a high. People on welfare at a high.
And the wealth gap grew much, much larger than before.

You be honest Porn Nerd...Obama woke up at home plate and had already been declared the home run king without ever doing anything in his life.

Trump is a brash, loud mouthed, New Yorker who is full of himself.
BUT...he is getting shit done and the economy is roaring at higher levels than Pres. Obama claimed were even possible.

That's the truth.

This year long melt down of the Media, Democrat Party, Establishment Republicans, and the millions of people whose feelings get hurt by mean old Trump's tweets? It's beyond boring at this point.

Can't you guys just wait?

No matter how good things are going now...sooner or later...something is gonna go bad. The economy will hit a bump. Stock market will take a dive. Etc., etc.

But folks like you are like the "boy who cried wolf" over and over and over.

So when the shit really does hit the fan...none of CNN's "Breaking News" is going to have much effect.
People have become desensitized to all the anti-Trump hysteria. It's a punchline to so may jokes I hear people telling at the gym, nightclubs, casinos, etc.

And here in Vegas...it's a very concentrated "melting pot" of people from all over the world and all walks of life on any given day on the strip.

The most common things I overhear are "snowflake" jokes and people laughing at Hollywood stars and their bombastic political "statements".

It's simply become too much.

People are numb to it now. And you, the media, the Democrats...all have no one to blame but yourselves for that.
