“42%. That’s the percentage of active-duty troops that view Trump very unfavorably, according to an August Military Times poll. Support for Trump from members of the military has fallen since 2016, when 40.5% favored him over the 20.6% who preferred Hillary Clinton...

There are those that understand selfless service and personal courage and those that don’t. The choice is clear and those that are currently serving see it for what it is too. https://t.co/Q8rg2MI7IC

The strength of our country, our economy, and our quality of life was molded and shaped by many forces, but it was fueled by inexpensive energy and the backbreaking work of Americans that dug it out of the ground.

As we see the marketplace shifting below our feet during this pandemic that is accelerating the digital revolution we must look to the future and ensure hardworking Americans that certainly paid their dues aren’t left out of the new economy.

“Senator Duckworth’s bill is comprehensive and includes several programs and initiatives that would have strong, positive impacts on economically depressed communities in the coalfields, said Cecil E. Roberts, the UMWA president.”

@USNVETLUQUE I’m hoping for a peaceful transition of power when @realDonaldTrump loses in November, but am prepared if that doesn’t happen. Hope the best, but prepare for the worst. Does that answer your question?

What happens when confidence in that asset wanes? What happens when foreign markets, investors, and governments take their business elsewhere and engage in commerce with assets like gold instead of the dollar?

It was said that my perception of our ballooning national debt is a threat to our national security meant I wasn’t a “real democrat,” which is laughable considering the last time we had a budget surplus was during a democratic presidency.

Governments do not dictate the values of assets or the exchange of goods and services. We dictate them by our participation in the marketplace.

It won’t matter how much credit the Fed creates. It won’t matter how many trillions of dollars in bonds the treasury sells to feed government spending. Capital is fluid. Trade is global. Currency values fluctuate.

Here’s the reality. The debt doesn’t matter until it does. It hasn’t mattered for decades, but historical returns are never a guarantee of future outcomes. The dollar is an asset. It has value, because we believe it has value.

The pandemic is changing much about how we live our lives. It is changing economies, disrupting markets, concentrating wealth, and putting on display the limitations of government and why centrally managed economies fail.

You want to reduce the national debt? Do deficits really matter? I was asked those questions while campaigning. Some were shocked that I want to reign in out of control deficit spending. https://t.co/HijtoHJsdP via @YahooFinance
