Save this for your friends!-----Trump economy shows signs of major turnaround after Biden's poor policies | Fox News

Five important reasons why the Trump economy is about to really blast off - E.J. Antoni Fox News
  • If you’re struggling to make sense of the economy today, you’re not alone. 
Many so-called experts completely whiffed their forecasts, while positive economic data — the Dow Jones Industrial Average at 50,000 points — seemingly contradicts negative survey responses. 
But understanding five key elements reveals we’re about to be off to the races.
  • First, 2025 was a year of transition for the economy. Under Democrat President Joe Biden, particularly his last two years in office, job growth was disproportionately due to government hiring. Similarly, government purchases played an outsized role in growing overall economic activity, as measured by gross domestic product (GDP).
  • The second element is the distinction between inflation and prices...
  • Even if Congress doesn’t act, the good news is that income growth is helping solve the problem, albeit more slowly, and that’s the third element which has changed significantly in the economy...
  • Because the economy is growing faster, tax receipts to the Treasury are up 11.8% this fiscal year...Shrinking the unproductive public sector while growing the private sector is a welcomed change, but it initially shows us as a negative in many economic metrics...
  • That brings us to the final element: investment. Between tax and regulatory cuts along with Trump’s trade negotiations, trillions of dollars in investment are pouring into the country...
That’s all incredibly bullish and paints a picture of an economy that has just rounded the turn and will soon blast down the straight. 
After years in the doldrums, the finish line of prosperity is fully in sight.

We are not the same!

  • This is yet another illustration of a major problem the United States faces right now: 
  • We have, on our southern border, what is essentially a failed narco-state, where the cartels hold enormous power, and the government seems unable – or unwilling – to dislodge them.

And the kids can't read!-----MEA calls $34k-per-student district ‘woefully underfunded’

Benton Harbor uses online instruction to fill staffing gaps - Jamie A. Hope 
Benton Harbor Area Schools, which receives more money on a per-student basis than almost every other district in Michigan, is hiring virtual teachers to fill teaching vacancies — a move the Michigan Education Association cites as evidence of inadequate funding.
The state teachers union blames lack of spending. ”This is clearly an example of a district that is woefully underfunded,” said MEA spokesman Thomas Morgan.
  • “The virtual teacher is able to do everything an in-person teacher does, except he/she is not present physically,” Macek said. 
  • She added that there is an adult in the room to monitor students...
