Dear editor,
Liberal Democrats continually say one thing but deliver something else.
Obamacare: You can keep your insurance and doctor. (No, you can't!)
Our health system ranks 44th in the world, but we spend more per individual than any other country and have a lower life expectancy.
Open borders — they come here and our government pays them our tax dollars. We go there at our expense and may get kidnapped or killed; definitely not welcomed.
“America and the world are safer now than they have ever been.” No, just ask anyone who is a victim of a terrorist act (including terrorist wars) or Black Lives Matter shooting. Race relations have been divided under Democrats; even blacks are killing more blacks in the last four years.
“The American economy is great.” No, we have the most people out of work since the early 70s, and the most people on government assistance than ever before.
“America's stock markets are doing great.” Yes, if you have the money to invest, you too can do great — or lose everything in a fixed system, controlled by money.
“America's educational system is the best in the world.” No, it is run by the federal government and Democrat-supported teacher's unions; it teaches the fewest hours in our history.
We spend more money per student than any other country, and we rank 14th in literacy, 25th in mathematics, and 17th in science.
The political solution has always focused on spending more money, until recently where they lowered standards for earned grades, instead of focused results.
As a percentage, single-home ownership is down, but multiple home ownership is up.
America exports less products abroad but imports more American companies’ products than ever before because of cheaper labor for manufacturing costs.
The average American now has less savings, makes less money (lower-paying jobs), and now lives in a more expensive world!
America ranks 19th with satisfaction of its country's people. Only 33 percent are satisfied; China is No. 1 at 87 percent. Russia is fifth!
Is this the change Obama said you can believe in? This is the same continued change Hillary is promising! More of the same liberal policies!
