Ball is in the Dems’ court now

HOWwill

we know if the Democrats winning the House on Tuesday is truly a victory?

Well, right now the US economy is doing very well, and unlike all other measuring sticks, economics is untainted data that is pure and knows no politics.

President Trump has been as busy and productive as a CEO, conducting the business of the taxpayers of America.

By all accounts the economy is in phenomenal shape, unemployment is at record lows, and GDP is averaging approximately twice what it was under President Obama. Wages are on the rise, and job openings are at record levels, with take-home pay on the rise after the tax cuts.

The country’s global competitive business appeal is greater than it has been in a generation, in part due to corporate tax cuts: We went from being one of the highesttaxed nations to one that is now in line with other developed nations, and better than many.

Presumptive Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will have to deliver some tangible economic progress to prove her party’s worth.

I can’t say I am surprised that the “Blue Wave” became a “Blue Belch,” because the Democrats had no economic message of substance for the midterm.

Free health care and universal income isn’t economics, it’s Fantasyland. Besides, Americans actually like to work, and we’d like our kids to work.

Whatever their “economic plan” was, the Democrats and Pelosi have to produce tangible beneficial economic results to the people’s pocketbooks, by working in a bipartisan fashion with the president and the Senate.

They have to produce, or their tenure as the House leadership will be short-lived.

Trump has demonstrated that he can work across the aisle, and Republicans have demonstrated that under his leadership they can deliver on the economy.

The spotlight is on the Democrats to make a contribution or risk becoming party poopers.
