At least the Nazis had some accomplishments to justify their air of superiority. Upon coming to power Hitler did the following:
-Rebuilt the German economy, allowing Germany the ability to adequately feed its own people
-Rebuilt the German military, giving it some ability to match Soviet military capacity.
-Greatly improved worker wages, allowing German workers a decent standard of living
-Improved workplace safety standards
-Reduced the workweek to 40 hours for industrial labor
-Greatly improved clean air and clean water standards
-An anti-smoking campaign
-The creation of the Autobahn
-The world’s most advanced rocket program and jet engine program
-Extended vacations and subsidized travel for German workers, allowing them to see much of the world
-improved physical fitness for the German people
Compare that with the accomplishments of relatively recent Democratic presidents.
Clinton:
- together with Gingrich balanced the budget
-Good economy
-Internet boom
Obama:
-CARD Act prevented many predatory credit card practices
-Recharging stations for electric cars
-Obamacare forced insurance companies to cover those with preexisting conditions
Biden:
- Got us out of an unwinnable and unnecessary war in Afghanistan. Granted the pullout was handled about as badly as it could have been.
There are simply not enough accomplishments on any of those three Democrats’ lists to justify an air of superiority.
