A Letter to the Editor from one of our members. Worth the time to read it!

DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTS = BETTER ECONOMIES?
When I learned that Democratic presidents created significantly better economies than Republican presidents
since WWII, I was sceptical. I looked for official government documents that might prove or debunk this claim and
found an Oct. 6, 2024 report called “THE US ECONOMY PERFORMS BETTER UNDER DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTS” from
the U.S. Joint Economic Committee (JEC), a bipartisan U.S. congressional committee with members from both the
House and Senate. The JEC studies economic conditions, coordinates economic policy, and advises Congress on
achieving national economic goals like full employment, price stability, and growth. The JEC uses data from the
Bureau of Economic Analysis, Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. Census Bureau, the Federal Reserve System, the
Congressional Budget Office, and other federal agencies.
This report shows historical statistics that “total job growth, unemployment, economic growth, manufacturing
job growth and investment, small business creation, national debt status, and economic performance is stronger
under Democrats.” It further states, “While there are many factors contributing to these trends, the point is clear that
Democratic administrations consistently help the U.S. economy perform better than Republican administrations.”
Why is this? The report answers, “Republicans have prioritized tax cuts that benefit the wealthy and fail to boost
economic growth or pay for themselves, while Democrats have prioritized investing in the middle class, supporting
small businesses, and improving economic resilience after downturns.”

In summary:
-->Since the early 1980s, the unemployment rate tends to be lower at the end of Democratic presidencies and
higher at the end of Republican presidencies.
--> Since 1949, real gross domestic product (GDP) was 3.79% average for Democratic presidents vs. 2.6% for
Republican presidents.
--> A near record 19 million new business applications were filed under Biden-Harris administration, with more
business applications filed in 2023 in all 50 states than in 2019, notably higher than under the Trump
administration.
--> U.S. national debt increases: Obama-2013 thru 2016 +$3.11T (Trillion), Trump-2017 thru 2020 +$6.98T, Biden-
2021 thru 2024 +$2.84T. Increases are largely due to partisan tax cuts passed by Republican presidents that mostly benefited the wealthy and big corporations.
--> Of the 11 recessions occurred in post-World War II era, 10 of them have occurred under Republican
presidents.

I’m voting for Democrats moving forward!

For years, Republicans championed family values and moral integrity, yet they entrusted the highest office in the world to a man with a criminal record, a sexual abuse verdict, and a long history of racist comments—expecting Americans to see him as a leader. Cruelty isn’t excused for political gain, and principles shouldn’t be traded for a tax cut. Vote blue. Be the able to tell your kids you voted for democracy not for this GOP mess.

😡😡😡WITKOFF’S ANOTHER TRAITOR IN TRUMP ADMIN
The president’s special envoy flew to St. Petersburg this week and praised the man who invaded Ukraine as a man of compassion.

Steve Witkoff was there to talk about the war, a day after meeting Zelensky in Oslo. Russia released Stephen James Hubbard, an American teacher held for more than four years on accusations he was a Ukrainian mercenary, and Witkoff used the moment to flatter his host.

“You talk so much about my president, President Trump, being a humanitarian,” Witkoff told Putin. “You are a humanitarian also, sir, and I salute that.”

Thom Tillis answered first, without diplomatic language. “WTF, Steve?”

“Look up the definition of ‘humanitarian.’ What an embarrassing and outrageous thing to say,” Tillis wrote. “You should go back to Ukraine and ask the families of the children Putin has kidnapped and murdered whether they agree your friend Putin is a ‘humanitarian.’”

John Cornyn kept it short: “No. Putin is stone cold killer.”

Don Bacon called it “another embarrassment,” which by now is a long list.

Trump says enforcing the Russia sanctions Congress passed would have ended the talks that got Hubbard home. That’s how a sanctions waiver for a war criminal gets sold as a rescue.

Putin agreed Wednesday to resume three-way talks “in principle” with Washington and Ukraine, starting sometime after November 10. That’s one week after the American midterms, which is probably not a coincidence.
