Trump favors the rich at the expense of the rest


During the 2016 campaign, Trump promised to eliminate the nation’s debt, then at $18 trillion, in eight years. In less than four, he has added more than $4 trillion, and his own budget predictions raise the debt to more than 28.5 trillion by the end of his second term.

We don't need to look too far into Trump's tax returns to see that he is running our economy the way he has always run his personal and business finances—giving the rich tax breaks, just like he gave himself, running up irresponsible debts and pretending (probably to himself as well as the IRS and American workers) that he is just a clever fellow who has played by the rules and won. Worked for him? Maybe for a while. When you try it with an entire economy, that economy will crash into chaos. We can't let that happen to our children.

Pushing debt into the future is something that many of us (me, for example) have tried, even when we didn't break any laws. But the debt is now catching up with us. What's more, Trump's get-rich-at-any-cost policies are threatening our health care and our climate.

Vote for Biden. And don't let Trump force his death policies down our throats and into our fragile future by appointing a Supreme Court judge who will repeal our health care and murder our environment.

We matter too much to each other to let that happen.
