Trump's 100 Days Plan
[Original here.]
[As always, my comments in blue. Alex Linder]
[article off NPR site]
What follows is my 100-day action plan to Make America Great Again. [O]n the first day of my term of office, my administration will immediately pursue the following six measures to clean up the corruption and special interest collusion in Washington, DC:
* FIRST, propose a Constitutional Amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress;
Meh.
* SECOND, a hiring freeze on all federal employees to reduce federal workforce through attrition (exempting military, public safety, and public health);
Good. Better to eliminate most federal govt departments.
* THIRD, a requirement that for every new federal regulation, two existing regulations must be eliminated;
In practice very difficult to do.
* FOURTH, a 5 year-ban on White House and Congressional officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government service;
* FIFTH, a lifetime ban on White House officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government;
* SIXTH, a complete ban on foreign lobbyists raising money for American elections.
In practice, these could easily be gotten around.
On the same day, I will begin taking the following 7 actions to protect American workers:
* FIRST, I will announce my intention to renegotiate NAFTA or withdraw from the deal under Article 2205
* SECOND, I will announce our withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership
* THIRD, I will direct my Secretary of the Treasury to label China a currency manipulator
First three are good.
* FOURTH, I will direct the Secretary of Commerce and U.S. Trade Representative to identify all foreign trading abuses that unfairly impact American workers and direct them to use every tool under American and international law to end those abuses immediately
Too vague, too hard to do in practice, I suspect.
* FIFTH, I will lift the restrictions on the production of $50 trillion dollars' worth of job-producing American energy reserves, including shale, oil, natural gas and clean coal.
Very good idea, and doable, and will have strong positive effect on economy.
* SIXTH, lift the Obama-Clinton roadblocks and allow vital energy infrastructure projects, like the Keystone Pipeline, to move forward
Also very good idea.
* SEVENTH, cancel billions in payments to U.N. climate change programs and use the money to fix America's water and environmental infrastructure.
Canceling UN payments is correct. Second is too vague.
Additionally, on the first day, I will take the following five actions to restore security and the constitutional rule of law:
* FIRST, cancel every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum and order issued by President Obama
Sounds good, but who knows what it means.
* SECOND, begin the process of selecting a replacement for Justice Scalia from one of the 20 judges on my list, who will uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States
Good. But make sure you know what you're actually getting. Republicans have a history of getting these choices wrong.
* THIRD, cancel all federal funding to Sanctuary Cities
Very good. This will result in legal fight, but it is a necessary fight. Use all means to destroy any political subunits favoring discoloreds over Americans.
* FOURTH, begin removing the more than 2 million criminal illegal immigrants from the country and cancel visas to foreign countries that won't take them back
Should be major focus, highly visible. Will receive immense support from public. Discuss this in speeches directly to public past the media as Reagan used to do.
* FIFTH, suspend immigration from terror-prone regions where vetting cannot safely occur. All vetting of people coming into our country will be considered extreme vetting.
Excellent idea, do it and defend it aggressively, public will support, media will whine.
Next, I will work with Congress to introduce the following broader legislative measures and fight for their passage...:
Middle Class Tax Relief And Simplification Act. An economic plan designed to grow the economy 4% per year and create at least 25 million new jobs through massive tax reduction and simplification, in combination with trade reform, regulatory relief, and lifting the restrictions on American energy. The largest tax reductions are for the middle class. A middle-class family with 2 children will get a 35% tax cut. The current number of brackets will be reduced from 7 to 3, and tax forms will likewise be greatly simplified. The business rate will be lowered from 35 to 15 percent, and the trillions of dollars of American corporate money overseas can now be brought back at a 10 percent rate.
Good ideas. Go after jewish banker criminals. Take burden off productive white middle class.
End The Offshoring Act. Establishes tariffs to discourage companies from laying off their workers in order to relocate in other countries and ship their products back to the U.S. tax-free.
Good idea if the tariffs fund the govt rather than income taxes. The US is big enough market. Anyone who wants to sell to it must play by same rules as our mfts. That's the least we can do for our country.
American Energy & Infrastructure Act. Leverages public-private partnerships, and private investments through tax incentives, to spur $1 trillion in infrastructure investment over 10 years. It is revenue neutral.
Don't know about this. Great if simple and graft free and privatized where possible.
School Choice And Education Opportunity Act. Redirects education dollars to give parents the right to send their kid to the public, private, charter, magnet, religious or home school of their choice. Ends common core, brings education supervision to local communities.
That's the key. Abolish department of education. Get feds out of K-12 funding. Restore local (ie, White) control, end (((ZOG))) control.
It expands vocational and technical education, and make 2 and 4-year college more affordable.
Get the govt out of loans completely, in all areas. End the Fed. Allow currency competition. This is what should be done. Short of that, move in that direction.
Repeal and Replace Obamacare Act. Fully repeals Obamacare and replaces it with Health Savings Accounts, the ability to purchase health insurance across state lines, and lets states manage Medicaid funds. Reforms will also include cutting the red tape at the FDA: there are over 4,000 drugs awaiting approval, and we especially want to speed the approval of life-saving medications.
All good ideas. Whatever makes a market in healthcare - govt getting out of the way - is correct. There is no safety. That's the principle peole must accept. All regulations do is force average people to subsidize regulatory parasites.
Affordable Childcare and Eldercare Act. Allows Americans to deduct childcare and elder care from their taxes, incentivizes employers to provide on-side childcare services, and creates tax-free Dependent Care Savings Accounts for both young and elderly dependents, with matching contributions for low-income families.
Ok but not ideal. Govt shouldnt be involved in any of this. Downsize govt to constitutional levels, let private employers and workers make such private arrangements as suit. Get rid of income tax, fund federal govt with tariffs.
End Illegal Immigration Act Fully-funds the construction of a wall on our southern border with the full understanding that the country Mexico will be reimbursing the United States for the full cost of such wall; establishes a 2-year mandatory minimum federal prison sentence for illegally re-entering the U.S. after a previous deportation, and a 5-year mandatory minimum for illegally re-entering for those with felony convictions...etc.
Great and necessary - and must be fought for. Public will even support stricter measures - shooting invaders.
Restoring Community Safety Act. Reduces surging crime, drugs and violence by creating a Task Force On Violent Crime and increasing funding for programs that train and assist local police; increases resources for federal law enforcement agencies and federal prosecutors to dismantle criminal gangs and put violent offenders behind bars.
The feds can no more cure niggers than any other group that's tried to. Restore freedom of association so whites can protect themselves from criminals/niggers.
Restoring National Security Act. Rebuilds our military by eliminating the defense sequester and expanding military investment; provides Veterans with the ability to receive public VA treatment or attend the private doctor of their choice; protects our vital infrastructure from cyber-attack; establishes new screening procedures for immigration to ensure those who are admitted to our country support our people and our values
Don't need new money for bloated military budget if we simply stop jewish wars. Where's the forcing foreign countries to pay for their own defense? That's a great and necessary idea and should be pushed.
Clean up Corruption in Washington Act. Enacts new ethics reforms to Drain the Swamp and reduce the corrupting influence of special interests on our politics.
All pols say this. So long as the govt is the size it is it D.C. will attract the customary type.
