Then vs. Now: The State of Two Different Unions!
In 1984, President Ronald Reagan famously asked the American people, “Are you better off now than four years ago?” Back then, the American people answered yes resoundingly.
As the president prepares to deliver this State of the Union Address, it is critical the American people ask themselves that basic question, “Are you better off now than you were during the Trump administration?” When it comes to the economy, personal finances, crime, immigration, and world affairs, the answer is a resounding “NO!”
During the Biden Administration, Americans have endured record-high inflation, out-of-control crime across major U.S. cities, new wars and global instability, and an unmanageable number of illegal immigrants crossing our porous border. Compare that to during the Trump Administration – pre-pandemic – America’s economy was booming, our cities were safe, there were no new wars due to peace through strength, and the border was becoming increasingly secure. The policy differences between administrations could not make this clearer, and as our survey shows, Americans feel the same – our Nation needs the policies that put Americans first.
