The Time Now

As I write this, there are only twenty hours and fifty five minutes until Barack Obama is out of the White House for good.  And when I say "for good", I mean for the good of the USA.  As the seconds and minutes tick by, I keep thinking about all the harm Obama did.  His policies reduced economic growth by roughly 1.5% per year according to the experts.  After eight years, that's roughly 13% less GDP each year or more than two trillion dollars in production by the American economy that Obama got rid of.  That two trillion dollars of production would have created millions of jobs and raised pay for much of the middle class.  It would have cut the number of people on welfare, food stamps, and Medicaid.  It would have contributed something like 400 billion dollars per year to federal tax revenues.  In short, it would have brought the federal budget deficit down to roughly zero!

Then there's ISIS and Russia and Syria and China and Iraq and Iran and countless other international problems that Obama made worse.  It wasn't that he just failed to correct problems; he made things worse!

And let's not forget the wonderful improvement in race relations that Obama promised but never delivered.  How much more are the people of this country split than they were in 2008?  We can all thank Obama for that mess.

Tomorrow will be a great day.  Trump can go a long way towards making America great again just by getting Obama out of office.
