Re: How can a Christian vote for Trump
Democrats measure success by growing the size of government and increase its control over our every day lives, Republicans are successful because they reduce the size of government and give individual Americans increased ability to pursue life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It worked for the first 175 years of our existnece making us the most prosperous and innovative nation in human history.
We've been in decline since the end of WWII and the overreach of the federal government. FDR didn't save us from the Great Depression, he prolonged it. WWII saved us from the malaise. Obama hasn't saved us from the Great Rescession, he's only made its effects last longer. We are at almost zero growth and have been for years. China grows at a robust 6-7% annually while we languish. Why? Because Dems dont know how to grow an economy. Reagan oversaw the greatest expansion in history creating 25 million jobs. Clinton's butt got saved because Gingrich and the Republican Revolution happened two years into his presidency and the Information Age exploded. The government didn't create the computer or the Internet or Microsoft or online businesses. In fact we had to fight the Dems all through the 90s and 00s to keep them from taxing online Buisness and stifling growth.
The crash of 2008 was the result of the Clinton admin idea of giving people unworthy of credit easy access to home loans that caused the housing bubble. Bush and the GOP failed to address it admittedly, but then again the Bushies are moderates, and grew the size of govt and national debt.
