Obama Who? After one year of a Trump administration, Obama era policies and directives are fast becoming a thing of the past, give President Trump another year or two and they may all be gone.
Last week the president signed a law repealing the “Obamacare Mandate” to buy health insurance, Obama’s signature achievement. Thus ending a significant year ridding us of many Obama misguided policies such as; abandoning Obama-era clean power plan, rolling back environment rules on infrastructure, EPA’s repeal of Obama’s “Waters of the US’ Rule” and EPA’s move to roll back 30 environmental regulations. The President has been busy eliminating many of President Obama’s useless rules and over 800 regulations saving our economy over $200 billion.
In addition The President has removed “Climate Change” from the list of worldwide threats, he has shut down CIA funding of Syrian Rebels and has sharply criticized Iran and the international agreement warning that he may soon pull out of another Obama era agreement. Let us not forget the “TPP” trade agreement and the infamous Paris Climate Accord which by most economists would have cost us billions of dollars in compliance.
All this house cleaning has not kept the President from “Making America Great Again”, check your IRA’s (DOW almost $25k), check the building around you (home sales at 11 year high), neighbors working (1 million jobs added), GDP at 3% compared to 1.5% last 7 years and as reported the U. S. Economy has reached its full potential output for the first time in decades.
This is only a smidgen of Trump administration accomplishments this year; a complete list would fill a page of the News Herald. In that page would be things like; US Military has control of 95% of territory once held by ISIS, Trump cuts Obama’s refugee target in half takes in more Christians, Trump signs VA accountability Act promises better care for Veterans, Trump slashes 11,000 government jobs, cuts White House staff by 20% and most important to some; Trump’s HHS defines life as beginning at conception.
Promises Made Promises Kept; creating jobs, cleaning the swamp, lowering taxes and repealing Obamacare is on schedule for completion. When completed President Obama may be just an honorable mention in the history books. To verify the accomplishments go to, www.magapill.com.
