HILLARY WILL MAKE U.S. ECONOMY BETTER. TRUMP WILL DESTROY US.

     After reading the commentary below, please express your own thoughts.  Instructions on how to do so are written at the bottom of this column.  Thank you.

     Let me get to the point...right at the outset.  According to the Fiscal FactCheck project's report...Promises and Price Tags: A Fiscal Guide To The 2016 Election...by the Committee For A Responsible Federal Budget...Donald Trump's budget would increase America's debt - over a ten-year period - by 11.50-trillion dollars.  But Hillary Clinton's budget would only hike our nation's debt - in that same decade - by 250-billion dollars.

     Now obviously, a rise in debt of any kind is not good...but Mrs. Clinton - as President Clinton - says she would appoint former President Bill Clinton...to tackle America's economy.  Therefore, let us remember...that when the 42nd President of the United States was in office...our nation's economy had performed phenomenally during President Clinton's two terms in The White House.  Furthermore...he has the all-time best record for job creation.  Let me emphasize that statement in a different way.  More jobs were created during Bill Clinton's two terms than any other President's Administration in American history.

     Additionally....President Bill Clinton is the only one of the five most recent Oval Office occupants - President Barack Obama... 

President George W. Bush... Mr. Clinton himself...President George H. W. Bush...and President Ronald Reagan - to have reduced the debt as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product.  The GDP is the monetary value of all the finished goods and services produced within our country in a specific time frame.  Simply put...GDP is a broad measurement of America's overall economic activity.  And while Bill Clinton held the keys to the Presidential mansion...there was the longest sustained period of economic growth since World War II.

     Americans can be concerned about national security and terrorism.  We - as a nation - can be troubled about a potpourri of political and personal issues that affect our lives.  But Americans - in fact, all people on this Earth - cannot live...truly live...without money.  And so I'll repeat a phrase that Bill Clinton's senior adviser, James Carville, is credited with coining back in 1992...when Carville hung up a sign in Mr. Clinton's Little Rock, Arkansas campaign headquarters.  "The economy, stupid."  That expression was quoted over and over again 24 years ago...resulting in it becoming a mantra for Bill Clinton...and part of our nation's political lexicon.  Those three words still apply today.

     FactCheck.org confirms information from the Congressional Budget Office...that during the Bill Clinton Administration...the U.S. federal budget was balanced...and the federal deficit was erased.

     As this column is being published...the U.S. Bureau of the Census says the estimated population of our country is...323-million 591-thousand 117 people.  And...the U.S. National Debt - according to the Department of the Treasury - is...19,450,273,507,830.88 dollars.  That's more than 19-trillion dollars...or a debt per citizen of 60,107 dollars and 56 cents.  Do we really want the debt for the United States to go up by eleven-and-a-half trillion bucks?  I don't think so.  Therefore...America can not afford - in any way, shape, matter or form - to elect Donald Trump as our President.

     I am confident that a President Hillary Clinton - along with former President Bill Clinton - will work together on our nation's economy...and Mrs. Clinton's approved policies will reduce the current proposed budget hike of 250-billion dollars.  The bottom line...there would be no increase.  Therefore...when the former Secretary of State leaves office as President...after 8 years...(I'm optimistic that she will be elected in 2016 and re-elected in 2020)...a new President...on Inauguration Day, January 20th, 2025...will be handed a country...with a surplus...as there was in 2001 when President Bill Clinton and then-First Lady Hillary Clinton...moved from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

     We don't want our nation's economy destroyed by Donald Trump...as it was by President George W. Bush.  Nobody wants to suffer through another "Great Recession"...which we did as a result of our 43rd President.  And under Donald Trump...economic experts predict that a crushed country is inevitable...with our stock markets crashing...leaving the United States of America in a worse financial disaster than the "Great Depression."

     So when you go to vote on November 8th... cast your ballots for Hillary Clinton as President...as she will follow in the footsteps...of President Barack Obama...and President Bill Clinton.  And a President Hillary Clinton...will continue to make America's economy...better and better.

     And that's The Controversy for today.
