Donald Trump Marks New High Among GOP Voters
It is likely Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton will face off for the White House, and if Americans want a prosperous future, they should pull the lever for Mr. Trump.
President Barack Hussein Obama would like Americans to believe things are getting better every day but average median incomes are down about $1650 on his watch.
Elderly women are working in record numbers, because pensions and retirement incomes are decimated by disappointing stock market returns and near-zero interest rates.
African Americans are quagmired in high unemployment and poverty.
Young people, bogged down by student loans, cannot buy homes and face rising apartment rents.
China’s economic miracle was founded on a cheap currency and easy lending from state-owned banks to build factories with few apparent customers and office and apartment towers with even fewer tenants.
Beijing’s answer to this crisis is an even cheaper RMB Yuan Vs the USD and to hoist bogus corporate bonds onto unwitting private investors.
In Europe, the Euro aka the single currency, is a bust.
Private employers and cynical economists voice the notion that cheap refugee labor from Syria and other war-torn locations will revive a moribund EU even though youth unemployment and underemployment is as high as 50% in some countries.
Is it any wonder that smart Brits want out of the EU, despite the costs. The Swiss run their own show.
Japan cannot grow, because young women are not marrying and having babies and its population is shrinking.
Nothing boosts investment in everything from appliances to apartments like new mouths to feed, youngsters to amuse and educate, and the career ambitions those responsibilities inspire in young adults.
Japan’s industrial powerhouse will be a museum by mid-Century because its leaders are too shy to engage young women about the crisis or accept immigration.
The policymakers in Europe and Japan have pushed down their currencies to flood US markets with cheap imports, American manufacturers are already quagmired in recession and the Obama administration responds with nothing talk.
Ok, US consumer spending remains reasonably strong, but too many of the products come from abroad where manufacturers desperately slash prices to meet debt payments. US exporters face declining markets for software, machinery, and banking services.
Growth slowed to just 1% in Q-4 as businesses refused to invest, and the trade deficit, except Crude Oil, continued to drag on growth.
Although economists expect some pick-up in Y 2016, estimates for the risk of recession run as high as 76% in the US.
Should the economy fail, Hillary Clinton will try to buy off voters with more Obama-vintage free stuff that makes creating jobs in the private sector very tough.
Sending more young people to college does not help them prosper if they do not learn a marketable skill there.
Free tuition will just drive more unqualified students in the classrooms, and now about 40% university graduates lack basic skills for White-collar work.
Expanding Barack Obamacare mandated benefits will push up prices for drugs, medical services and insurance premiums even more and cause employers to hire fewer workers.
Instead of more jobs, America will have more debt and more employers fleeing to Mexico where wages are cheap and the government more friendly to business.
Donald Trump offers a vision not of a society, where politicians bribe voters in the style of Roman Emperors passing out free grain at the Colosseum, but rather a strong America that asserts its rights in global commerce.
Like Donald Trump, even liberal economist Paul Krugman supports a tax on Chinese imports to force an end to the Middle Kingdom’s beggar-thy-neighbor policies.
America did not become a Superpower by being timid, and it is time for a President who understands this fact.
To that end Donald Trump has hit a new high among registered Republican voters and now enjoys the support of 40% of GOP voters, a just-released NBC News/Survey Monkey poll shows.
Trailing, and far behind are:
Marco Rubio, 21%
Ted Cruz, 18%
Ben Carson, 8%
John Kasich, 7%
Donald Trump gained 4 points since last week’s NBC News/Survey Monkey poll, with Marco Rubio gaining 5 points and Ted Cruz dropping 1 point.
The survey comes as voters in 11 states across the South and New England go to the polls in the Super Tuesday primaries and caucuses.
A large majority of Republican voters, 71%, believe Donald Trump will win the GOP presidential nomination by a large majority, the poll found.
The poll found among Democrats, Hillary Clinton holds a 10-point lead over Bernie Sanders, who has 41% support.
