Is the American Dream Alive and Well?

As our nation approaches the mid-terms anyone who pays any attention to what's going on knows that things have gone from bad to worse; or has it?

If we look at the political situation - the leftists doing everything they can to slow down the achievements of President Trump - then it seems that our wagon's wheels are getting wobbly to the point of possibly falling off.

However, if we look at the turn around that President Trump has done to this country just short of two years, it's amazing that things are looking as well as they are when looking at the statistics of employment, unemployment, production, trade, etc. In the last four months I've seen more signs on businesses and heard more advertisements on radio nearly begging skilled workers to work for them in my little corner of the country.

Yahoo Finance recently posted an interview with Ken Langone; co-founder of Home Depot. The title of the interview was the same as the title of this post. His remarks about our nation's place in world history is a treat because it provides a real world perspective from someone who came from very humble beginnings and made the most of the opportunity for success that our nation provides.

Only you can decide whether the "American Dream" is alive and well, but I believe you'll enjoy watching it!
