The American middle class is
rapidly going the way of the dinosaur and the dodo bird. And California, where
mansions and homeless people abound, is the template Democrats want to bring to
America as a whole. Because it suits their needs. Big money donors and poor
people in crisis who think they need ‘compassionate’ Democrats’ help.
The
‘American Dream’ was that any normal person that worked hard could have a house
and a relatively comfortable—and meaningful—life and expect to live better and
longer than their parents did. That dream has turned into a pipe dream for
many.
Why?
Political leaders from both parties have presided over the extinction of
manufacturing in the United States. We have let millions of jobs go overseas,
and, with them, the hopes of millions of Americans. We don’t make
anything anymore. Worse, we rely on China for vital products like our drugs and
pharmaceuticals. We even rely on a few friends and a couple of enemies for some
of our military hardware and software. This is beyond reckless, beyond
dereliction of duty. It is an existential and insane threat to our existence.
“Made in America” used to be a mark of excellence and a badge of honor. Now we
have service industries, consultants, and gender studies experts.
Our
debt situation and trade deficits are just as big a threat. No nation has ever
been $37 trillion worse than broke. No nation has long survived a 125% debt to GDP
ratio, which is where the U.S. is at now. If nothing changes,
that ratio could go to 200% in the near future as an interest bomb explodes.
What’s
more, millions of illegal aliens have flooded the country, draining it of
money. Many have obtained social security numbers allowing them to receive
Medicare and other benefits. (And vote.)
Add
this all up and it is absolutely unsustainable. The United States is heading
for a catastrophic fall.
President
Trump, almost alone, knows this. Let me state this very clearly: if Trump’s
policies are allowed to proceed, they will work, that is 100.0% certain…if
Americans are willing to bite the bullet for the short term. The one real
struggle would be with China, in so far as we would have to be willing to pay
more for certain goods—or do without them—for a period of time. This should be
a point of patriotism and pride. Tough? Hell, yeah. I am in my 60s and have
seen my retirement fund shrink significantly. But, it doesn’t matter, it is for
the greater good. Even if I die shortly and my family has to make do with less,
we all must be willing to sacrifice a bit for the good of the country as a
whole and for the benefit of future generations. Period.
What
scares me is my belief that the president and his administration won’t
succeed. Again, if his policies, tariffs most definitely included, are allowed
to proceed unimpeded they will be successful in making America great—and
wealthy again. It is illogical and immoral that we should let other countries
take such economic advantage of us through unbalanced tariffs, subsidizing
their companies and industries, utilizing near slave labor to drive down the
cost of production, and having virtually no pollution standards in place
whatsoever. (Yeah, talking to you, China.)
Unhinged,
unelected rogue federal and district court judges, an apparently cowed SCOTUS
(Roberts and Coney Barrett), an extremist far-left Democrat Party, its
sycophants in the mainstream media, academia, ‘entertainment,’ Hollywood, the
uncountable throngs in The Deep State and The Swamp, the protesting and
terrorizing mob that deep-pocketed provocateurs like George Soros can summon on
a moment’s notice, as well as the always squishy and ishy RINOs, present a
formidable obstacle to Trump’s—and America’s—success. As do those who’d like to
kill him.
I
promise you this: for better or worse, we are living in defining times. Forget
what’s happening today and tomorrow.
Check your portfolio in 12 to 18 months. If Trump is allowed to prevail,
the country will have an unprecedented rebirth, one that may well last for
decades to come. This, sickeningly, is what really scares Democrats, because
the outlook for Republicans, at least those of the Trump mold will be similarly
rosy. If he fails, the country will never recover. And neither will
Republicans.
18
months. It’s all Trump has, for, if things haven’t turned around before the
2026 elections, I believe it is overwhelmingly likely that the short attention
spans and propensity of many Americans to panic will hand Congress over to
Democrats. And that, as they say, would be ‘game over.’
