Fighting for drug-free communities
Families
across the country are affected by the dangers of substance
abuse and dependency. President Donald J. Trump's was no
different.
“I
had a brother who had a really big alcohol problem,” the
President said from the White House this afternoon. “A very
tough thing for our family.” Now, a new crisis of addiction is
leaving its mark on America: “Sadly, in 2017, an estimated 134
Americans die each day from opioid-related overdoses.”
So
today, in honor of the 20-year anniversary of the Drug-Free
Communities Support Program grant awards, President Trump
announced $91 million in grants to a record 731 local drug
prevention groups across all 50 states. “We’ve never done
anything to this extent. We’ve never done anything this large.”
The
program works, the evidence shows. “The Drug-Free
Communities Program is a proven success, cutting alcohol and
prescription drug abuse by an average of nearly 20 percent among
high-school students and participating communities,” President
Trump said. “Incredible what they’ve been able to do.”
We knew growth was strong. It just got stronger.
Last
month, President Trump addressed Americans from the South Lawn
of the White House. “I am thrilled to announce that, in the
second quarter of this year, the United States economy grew at the
amazing rate of 4.1 percent. We’re on track to hit the highest
annual average growth rate in over 13 years.”
Turns
out, the news is even better. With more complete data now
available, a new Commerce Department report released today reveals
that America’s economy grew even faster than initially estimated
in the second quarter: a 4.2 percent annualized rate.
The
second quarter was the first full quarter with President
Trump’s tax cuts in effect. More money in the pockets of
America’s working families—along with historic
regulatory reform and new,
America-first trade deals—has the U.S. economy setting
records by the day.
The
big picture: 85
percent of blue-collar workers optimistic about future
