There is an odd parallel to Trump there, with his express, intentional policies of delivering economic results to working class and minorities that have been promised things by the left for years that were never delivered.
Yet another driveby derogation of "the left". Name one policy that Trump has implemented that "delivers economic results" to those groups.
Sure, tax relief, focus on returning American jobs, which increased both manufacturing jobs and all jobs generally, focus on freeing American ingenuity to operate. There's a reason unemployment is historically low and inflation hasn't jumped through the roof. There's a reason every minority group is at record low unemployment. There's a reason that real wage growth is occuring and that the poor are seeing improvements in their situations. It isn't decades of unfulfilled Democratic promises on handouts.
How about:
Healthcare (it would be easy -- not!)?
What has Trump done to harm Healthcare? Seriously. This is near impossible to fix. There is absolutely no will to fix it. Lie to yourself all you want the Dems won't agree to any fix, whether it works or not, unless it gets more healthcare under government control and makes more people dependent on hand outs. It's just a simple truth, they've been buying votes for so long they see anything that actually works to make people independent as a threat to their own power.
And this is 100% reflected in the Dem candidate's announced policies, very heavy on the hand outs, and no sense whatsoever when it comes to paying for it, heck a lot of them just lie about the impact on the middle class and poor. You know I don't trust economist's predictions, but I saw an article saying that the market should expect a 10% negative contraction if Warren is elected. Talk about misery.
Education (Screw people expecting loan forgiveness)?
School choice. The left only opposes it because the teacher's union owns them, even though it hurts their own minority constituents. You'll note too how rarely the affluent left lets their children be harmed by public schools. They always live in school districts with good teacher, and even then send their kids to private schools, yet they oppose school choice? They get it themselves by moving, and then lecture those who don't have the economic means to use that option themselves and have kids stuck in and harmed by failing schools.
As for loan forgiveness, it's a garbage solution to a garbage problem the left created. Every time the left authorized more loan guaranties to ensure that everyone could "afford" a college education, and to ensure a steady flow of guaranteed government money to the schools, the schools reacted by raising their tuitions and hiring more and more administrators. Not one of those programs held those schools accountable for the lack of success of their students. Now that they've created a monster (and they were behind the loan guarantees and bankruptcy protection to ensure that lenders would enter into the market without consideration for the qualification of the student - how else does a student get $250k in loans to major in basket weaving). The "only" solution of course is to take it over with more government, free college, and government paying for all the loans. More free stuff, promised if you elect the Dems, paid for by someone else (really we promise, someone else, just don't actually think about he economics - oh wait, you're not going to major in that anyway).
Can't allow any correction in the higher education market since it's totally controlled by the left, and supports massive and bloated amounts of reliable blue voters.
Tax reform (if you're a rich worker or corporation)?
Tax reform delivered benefits to everyone in the lower 80% and only some of those in the upper 20%. Corporate tax reforms has brought massive amounts of equity capital back into the country, boosting the economy and created massive job growth - exactly what the left always claims that government spending will do (but that it fails to do as effectively).
Trade tariffs (farm bankruptcies highest since 2011)?
Leading to improvements in trade deals and resurgence in jobs in American industries the left declared were gone for ever.
Payroll protections (rollbacks of pay protection guarantees, anti-union policies, mandatory arbitration)?
Not sure what you're referring to here, but at least for unions the correction was long over due. The left hasn't been out of the union pockets in my life time and it wouldn't be inaccurate to say that most every policy they push has a thumb on the scale in what should be a balanced equation.
Retirement savings (rescinding rules forcing investors to work in the best interests of their clients)?
That's just a gross mischaracterization. Just because someone puts "best interest" in the name of a rule doesn't mean that's what it actually does. Go to any registered investment adviser and they are required to treat you as a fiduciary with your interests ahead of theirs. Go to a broker and they are only required to determine if a product is suitable before they can sell it to you. Pick the person you need.
Whew, my typing arm is getting tired!
I don't believe that. Again, despite the failed promises of the left, it's Trump that's bringing real wage growth, real job opportunities, prison reform, and renewed focus on improving the impoverished places where the poor live (opportunity zone legislation). Maybe talk to some people in that demographic, they are much more optimistic than they were under the previous administration.
