If you read the Conservative Guardian, chances are you know the 2020 presidential election is a financial decision – and nothing more. Neither man is mentally or morally 100%. Biden’s a plagiarizing womanizer, who can’t remember. Trump’s an aggrandizing womanizer, who can’t play nice. Biden scares cops, Catholics and Israel. Trump scares stoners, professors and Iran. Biden tends to appease and Trump tends to alienate. Neither has a sure-fire plan to end the pandemic.
This is the year to vote your wallet, because neither Biden nor Trump will heal America’s divisions. It’s Show Me The Money time in America, starting with the scary national debt. The published US debt today is $26.9 trillion. The actual US debt is $134.7 trillion (source: Truth in Accounting). Your share of that debt is $872,000, and Democrats will stick your heirs with more debt by bailing out blue-state public employee pensions.
Now, if you don’t like President Trump because of what you read in the New York Times or watch on CNN, read the rest of this article closely. It’s not OK in 2020 to just go with the flow. Your income and nest eggs depend on Trump.
Median household incomes are at historic highs. Median US household incomes were $68,703 last year, the highest on record and 6.8% higher than 2018; the highest annual increase since 1967. Income inequality has fallen two years in a row. While incomes for the wealthiest five percent of households dropped 5%, the bottom forty percent increased 9.5%. Since 2017, median incomes have risen 15% for Asians, 10% for Blacks, 7% for Hispanics, and 6.8% for Whites (source: USCB)
Citizens left Obamacare for company-provided health insurance. Trump hasn’t ruined US healthcare because, since he took office, over 5 million have gained employer-provided health insurance coverage. Due to lower corporate tax rates and less regulation, companies hired folks and increased benefits. Bottom line: 2 million left Medicaid, and every state – even DC – reported lower uninsured rates in 2019 than in 2010 (source: USCB).
America’s 2019 poverty rate is the lowest in 60 years. Trump has been a blessing to the poor, lifting 6 million folks from poverty since 2017. Only 10.5% of the US lived in poverty in 2019, the lowest rate since 1959. The black poverty rate (18.8%) was the lowest since 1959, and the Hispanic rate (15.7%) was the lowest since 1972. No wonder Trump approval is now at 24% with black voters and 32% with Hispanic voters.
US retirement assets have never been higher. By the end of 2019, total retirement assets in the US totaled $32.3 trillion, up $7 trillion since Trump’s election. This is especially important in light of tax-and-spend Democrats at the state and national level, on top of record government debt. The choice is yours: Palm Beach pavilion or pup tent in Pensacola?
The US needs more tax-payers and fewer programs. Trump’s America is peace through strength and prosperity through gainful employment. Biden is the opposite: appeasement that opens the world to Iran and China, and free stuff that re-distributes your money. Trust Trump to keep America out of regime-change wars, attract investors, and boost gainful wages – and the churches, communities and families to do the rest.
You are not alone. The most accurate predictor, the Primary Model, gives Trump a 90% chance of re-election. This model has predicted 25 of the last 27 elections (missed 1960 and 2000) because it’s based on100 years of primaries and 2020 primary votes (55,000,000) that dwarf polling data. Hence, the Primary Model captures blue-collar votes that are missed by most pollsters. Here’s the big reveal: Trump ran un-opposed and still got as many primary ballots as Biden. That’s enthusiasm!
Even though CNN reports Trump’s enthusiasm advantage, it ignores his ground game with 1,500 field offices, 1,800,000 volunteers, and 70 million volunteer contacts. These contacts are important, because many are former blue-collar Democrats or first-time voters that are young or non-white. Mostly, they are counting on Trump to boost their incomes and make their communities safe.
