A lot of political analysts
and pundits are predicting that the Democratic Party will have a banner year in
the upcoming midterms. Goodness knows the Republicans are doing all they can to
help them.
Before you decide to
change your voter registration from Republican to Democrat and show your displeasure
with Trump, and the feckless bunch of Republican do nothings in Congress that
would rather investigate Trump than represent their constituents take a look at
what is happening around you.
The first debate featuring four of the Democratic
candidates for Florida Governor was an interesting affair.
If I had to pick a central theme(s) it would be
let’s raise taxes, shut down funding of charter schools, raise some more taxes,
put in some more social programs and continuing pouring money into a failing
educational system even though none of them knew what the education budget was.
In other words, these
candidates are proposing what Democrats do; replace governance with social
welfare.
You can check out the
debate at: FOX 13.
Florida has experienced
phenomenal growth over the last eight years. The economic infrastructure that
supports that growth has been carefully put together. Looking at the Florida economy
as an apple ready for picking could quickly undo what eight years of hard work
has accomplished.
Just electing a bunch
of Democrats to offices from the school board to the State house and Governor will
not cure anything. An old-line social programs Democrat in the Governor’s
mansion and one or both houses of the Florida Legislature controlled by the Democrats
will bring the current growth trend in Florida to a screeching halt.
There
are some adept sensible Democrats out there, but none were present in this first
debate.
The real questions are:
can any of these candidates morph into someone who can actually run a
government and not turn it into one massive welfare program and secondly are
there any of these candidates you want to bet your small business on along with
the education of your children?
The Republicans are up
next will they do any better or get “Trumped?”
