Donald Trump’s Devastating Effects On The Economy

Ronald 5 Comments

President Donald Trump’s economic policies have had a devastating effect in a multitude of ways, as outlined in a NY Times article.

The economy is growing at under a 2 percent rate.

The deficit for the present fiscal year is going up by more than $2 Trillion, and the total national debt level is reaching $40 Trillion.

Tariffs are causing great disarray, and much of the amount collected has been ordered returned to corporations, but meanwhile alienating America’s allies and friends.

Manufacturing employment is declining, despite claims otherwise by the Trump Administration.

Inflation is eating away at the average wages of tens of millions of workers.

Gasoline prices are still above $4 a gallon.

Housing costs are rising, making it impossible for millions of younger Americans to consider purchasing a home, and the interest rates are high.

Health care costs are causing massive harm to tens of millions of Americans, as many who had been on “ObamaCare” no longer can afford it, and Medicaid cuts of massive amounts are on the horizon in 2027.

Donald Trump ran his campaign in 2024 promising a better economy, but the exact opposite has occurred.

Government Paralyzed As Health Care Costs Skyrocket!

The US government is under lockdown, while Donald Trump has been gallivanting all over Asia, ignoring the reality of massive health care cost increases, due to the passage by the MAGA Republican Party majority in Congress of the so called “Big and Beautiful Bill”, which gave massive tax cuts to corporations and billionaires.

With massive cuts to Medicaid, SNAP (Food Stamps) for 42 million people, and the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare), it means tens of millions of lower middle class and poor Americans will face hunger, and lack of health care protections, a totally outrageous and cruel reality.

No one in America should face hunger and starvation, or inability to have medical coverage, in a nation which professes the “right to life” of fetuses, but once born, no concern on the part of the Republican Party and Donald Trump.

Victims Of Aurora, Colorado Massacre Also Unable To Afford Life Insurance Or Health Care Coverage In Many Cases, So Victimized In A Different Way!

Twelve people died in Aurora, Colorado, due to the insanity of James Holmes.

It is certain that many did not have life insurance, being young and not concerned about such things, and also unable to afford it, and now their funerals are a financial burden on their families.

Also, 58 people were wounded, many seriously, and it is certain that very few had health care coverage, so for those with severe wounds and lifetime disabilities, they will face a medical bill for life of millions of dollars, not able to be paid by them as things stand, but ruining their credit for life!

We have millions of Americans who mourn what happened in Colorado, but will we see the wealthiest among us volunteer, including Mitt Romney, to contribute to the health care costs and funeral costs of the victims?

The answer is most certainly NO, as those who are fortunate among us have no concern for anything but their mounting wealth, and to avoid taxes!

Why should they contribute to help the needy, when the Republican philosophy is to have no concern for those less fortunate?

This is the biggest scandal of all about this tragedy, and is another argument for the idea that ALL Americans should be entitled to health care, no matter what the cost, as health care should be an entitlement, not a privilege, for all!
