Elections are just around the corner and it’s time to evaluate the progress of current Federal, State and county Democratic administrations.

Real unemployment is 12.7 percent, considering those who have stopped looking for work, and a lousy 62.7 percent workforce participation. Average income over six years has dropped $1,500 -$2,500 dollars. The debt is $17 trillion and increasing.  Stock market is booming for those invested; only 52 percent are benefiting.  The stock market flourishes with the Federal Reserve’s low interest and their printing of money.

Fuel prices are dropping because states with Republican governors encouraged oil drilling and fracking. Democrats refuse to authorize Canadian pipeline.

The war on ISIS in the Middle East is a disaster with no firm long-term solution. Ebola is an unknown with significant repercussions. The President attends only 42 percent of security briefings. The Administration’s policy of leading from behind is not working. Polls indicate 64.6 percent believe the country is going in the wrong direction.

For decades Democrats have controlled Washington State and failed to resolve DOT and educational systemic problems. Their solution is to throw money at the problem. Gov. Jay Inslee’s solution to his environmental agenda is to increase the price of gas by $1.25 a gallon.

Within Kitsap County, Democratic commissioners have attempted to defend the discovery of their Title 5 code compliance ordinance, which would allow warrantless searches, eliminates grandfather clause which criminalizes code compliance failures. To sell your home would require it be brought up to current code.

Vote out failed Democratic policies.
