THE FACTS! THE OBAMA ECONOMY WAS BETTER FOR AMERICA

Right-wingers claim the healthy economy is Trump's achievement. 

FOR THE RECORD:

During President Obama's second term, we averaged 217,000 new jobs each month. So far under Trump, the average is 189,000 per month.

And Republicans have racked up $1.5 TRILLION in unpaid tax cuts. Remember when the Tea Party was hollering about the deficit?

Plus, Trump's 4.1% growth in the second quarter of 2018 would rank as the FIFTH STRONGEST of the Obama era:

5.1% 2014 second quarter

4.9% 2014 third quarter

4.7% 2011 fourth quarter

4.5% 2009 fourth quarter

When will WAGE GROWTH be sufficient for Americans to achieve the kind of upward mobility that defined previous generations? 

Trump's tax policies will only exacerbate federal deficits and the national debt, while INCREASING wealth inequality.

Push back against the "healthy Trump economy" argument and VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS in 2018!

A SHORT MESSAGE TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

Attention Republican Party! 

Young people will not accept putting the government in control of women's bodies, repealing gay marriage, demeaning people of color, ignoring climate change, or allowing weapons of mass destruction to massacre their friends at will.

If this is the Supreme Court you choose, you will lose at the polls for generations.

They will also rebel en masse against a healthcare system out of reach, the disintegration of public education, and staggering student loan debt. Especially as billionaires and the most profitable corporations in history receive massive tax breaks first. 

They know that other enlightened democracies have largely solved the puzzle of producing healthy, educated, well-paid and happy citizens.

These are our nieces, Maya and Sophia. They are proud, intelligent women who know their strength, love their gay uncles, cherish their POC friends, and care deeply about the health of the earth they will inherit.

They have already rejected your message of fear, hate, and ignorance.

The future is theirs, not yours.
