August 2, 2019 ” A man shall not desecrate his word ”     Matot 30:3  

Promises, promises. Candidate Trump promised to bring back coal mining jobs, but only a paltry 1,500 jobs have resulted from $2B in coal subsidies and regulatory relief. For his first 30 months, 500K manufacturing jobs were added, 20% less than under the last 30 months of the Obama administration. His promised repatriation of corporate foreign earnings is at only 5.5% of those earnings. His promises of a new health care program, an infrastructure program, de-nuclearization of North Korea, and his promised Chinese trade capitulation have all been empty. And his empty promise to “drain the swamp”, in retrospect, might actually be a joke if the collection of influence peddlers, lobbyists, wife-beaters, and sycophants now running most of the government weren’t so dangerous.
