Schumer has said Democrats will promise “A Better Deal: Better Jobs, Better Wages, Better Future” yet they saddled us with Obamacare and hundreds of additional job killing regulations. They have slowed the economy with eight years of legislation that can take the life out of any economic growth. They handed us an anemic gross domestic product, job loss, and low wage growth.
Senator Schumer actually said “In the past, we were too cautious; we were too namby-pamby. This is sharp and bold…” Isn’t this what Donald Trump has been trying to accomplish? Aren’t they standing in his way?
Let’s get this straight – they killed our economy and our health care over eight years, providing a worse way and now they tell us we deserve a “Better Way”. You mean, better than the train wreck they have turned this country into.
Schumer provided some insight into a “A Better Deal,” which would include:
-
a $15 per hour minimum wage, which has already proven to be a job killer where it has been enacted
-
a sweeping child care proposal – isn’t that what Ivanka Trump is working on
-
a $1 trillion infrastructure package – didn’t they do this eight years ago by adding to our debt with little to show for it? Hasn’t Trump already offered this as part of his plan. Apparently, he intends to do it right with little pork.
