Doug Farrow: Trump not just our last chance, but our only hope

Over the last seven plus years our national debt has climbed to over $19 trillion and grows millions in interest every day. Every attempt by Barack Obama to improve the economy has failed. Your spendable income has gone down over those same years from inflation, raises that don’t match inflation and price increases where you shop.

A vote for Hillary Clinton will be more of the same and will lead to an unsustainable economy. The short term bailout will be printing more money. The long term outlook is a bankrupt America and the elevation of Russia, Iran and China.

Going into November, most Americans range from nervous to depressed. California is a potential disaster, yet can save America if we wake up and grow up. Donald Trump is not just our last chance, but our only hope.

I can no longer stand to look at nor listen to Obama, and now the same for Hillary. Lest you think me a racist, I am hoping for Condi Rice as VP. Trump will make the news more entertaining and informative, and from him you will always hear the truth.

Doug Farrow, Modesto
