If you've been watching the Democratic National Convention currently
taking place in Philadelphia, then you should have a feeling swelling up from
deep inside your body - a feeling of happiness and bliss. All is well in
America! Everything is great, the economy is on track, and there are jobs
galore. Wait, what?
The media and their political handlers have always tried to paint a rosy
picture since the 2008 crisis began. They have engaged in a level of MOPE
never seen before in our history and have thus been engaged in an
unbelievable campaign of deception.
The everyday men and women of America know that the job market is in fact
worse, not better. They know that the corruption that caused the 2008
economic crisis has not been dealt with, but in fact has increased. They know
that the threat of terrorism is real and it needs to be dealt with, yet is
being largely ignored by our current leaders.
If you watch the Democratic National Convention, in which Hillary Clinton
is being crowned - err, I mean nominated - then you will be shaking your head
in absolute disgust and confusion.
How can they be so delusional? How can they stand up there on stage and
preach to the American people that they need to continue down this path of
"prosperity"? Change, real change needs to happen and they seem
utterly and completely ignorant of this hard fact.
Just to run through a few of the things that have been reported on TODAY
ALONE:
- Homeownership rates have crashed to their lowest levels since 1965.
- The stock price of Ford is plummeting as they state that they "won't see any
growth" and that the auto industry in the United States has
plateaued.
- Additionally, the Atlanta FED has slashed Q2 GDP estimates to 1.5%, foreseeing a
slower than expected growth.
Perhaps this is why so many Americans are in disagreement with the message
that the Democrats, led by corrupt Hillary, are trying to ram down their
throats. This isn't up for debate, as nearly 2/3rds of Americans now say that the country is on the
WRONG track.
This doesn't bode well for Hillary, or her shrinking support. The
corruption that surrounds her is one thing; the false message that her party
is preaching to protect Obama's legacy is another, and the final straw that
is breaking their backs is Donald Trump - a strong, seasoned businessman that
has real life experience and who doesn't mind putting things bluntly, unlike
the mass majority of politicians that surround him.
The time for change has come and the status quo is shaking in their boots.
A revolution is on foot - the only question now that remains is, is it too
late? Can America and the rest of the West turn itself around before this all
comes crashing down on our heads, or will the hard choices that need to be
made, be made and the journey towards real growth be adopted once again?
Only time will tell, but we can hope, even if the chances are slim.
