[Script for a closing ad for Democrats]

WHY DEMOCRATS ARE MUCH BETTER ON THE ECONOMY

People have forgotten just how bad things were in this country when Joe Biden took office and the Democrats took over the Senate. Under Trump and the Republicans, unemployment was at 6.8% and rising. Hundreds of thousands of people were lined up to get free food baskets in order to feed their families. [SHOW VIDEO OF CARS LINED UP FOR BLOCKS AT FOOD DISTRIBUTION CENTERS]

Trump had also miserably failed in responding to the worst health pandemic in 100 years. Over 3,000 people were dying from COVID every single day. [SHOW COVID HOSPITAL VIDEO]

In short, Biden and the Democrats inherited two of the worst crises in U.S. history.

They immediately got to work to respond to both crises. Lets start with COVID. When Biden took office, only 2% of adults were vaccinated. He immediately went to work and had the federal government provide free and easily available vaccines everywhere in the country. In a little over 1 year, 70% of the public was vaccinated…and anyone who was unvaccinated was that way entirely by their own choice. [SHOW CLIP OF A SMILING PERSON GETTING A VACCINE SHOT]

As for the economy, the Democrats passed (without a single Republican vote in the Senate) the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, which provided immediate financial assistance to families and businesses around the nation. Tens of millions of families received much-needed cash to get through the crisis. They next passed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the first major infrastructure bill in decades, which has stimulated good paying jobs all over the nation. In less than two years, Biden and the Democrats have added a record 10 million jobs, and brought unemployment from 6.8% down to a historic low of 3.5%.

Of course we now face a bad case of global inflation - - caused by global factors like the COVID disruption of international supply chains and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. But who should you trust to solve it in a way that helps average citizens? Democrats have already passed the Inflation Reduction Act (again without a single Republican supporting it) which will cap prescription drug costs for seniors, cap insulin costs at $35 a month, and allow Medicare to negotiate lower drug costs with the drug companies. And they pay for those and other solutions by having large corporations that currently pay no federal taxes pay a minimum of 15% income tax. Republicans have vowed to overturn each of those policies if they take control… plus cut Social Security and Medicare!
