First, the stock market is once again strong (up from 800 to 1,400 100 short of all-time high). Last month, we didn't lose 500,000 jobs (as the country was doing in the Great Recession); we added 114,000 jobs.
And much of Utah is turning itself inside out with new residential and commercial construction (just take a quick tour of South Jordan).
Second, remember what happened the last time we elected a Republican president.
Third, promises are ideological, but measurable improvement is reality. I cautiously suggest it's time to dust off an old adage: Stay the course.
