What do they want us to do? Elect a RINO? No thanks. No Rubio. No more RINOS!

America's Economic Freedom Has Rapidly Declined Under Obama

EXACTLY what he wanted.

[1rudeboy]

In other countries that FReepers follow closely:

• Canada is ranked 6,
  
• United Kingdom is ranked 10,
  
• Germany is ranked 17,
  
• France is ranked 75, and
  
• Russia is ranked 153.

I have no doubt all of Americans freedoms and liberties are under attack by the DC hellions and their evil subordinate would be dictator minions.

Had no idea the damage was so significant. You know it's bad when Canada and the UK beat you. I'm sure, to many, the protection offered by the populists running for POTUS and congress is exactly what this country needs.

With their vision, maybe we can challenge France in the near future.

1. Trump will bring down government spending. He is frugal in his own affairs. He is used to managing a large organization and will select leaders who will bring a business sense to the various government agencies. What's more he knows how to measure progress and will be quick to change leaders and/or methods if progress isn't being made.
2. Trump has long complained against the size of the debt. He will bring it down by getting the American economy going again. Which will generate tax revenues without rate increases and decrease safety net payments.
3. Trump will restore market place initiatives for health care. He has indeed been against Obamacare from the start.
4. Trump is likely to reduce regulation. He will support bailouts if it's critical to our economy. But if he restores the tariffs, the need for bailouts will be sharply reduced.
5. Trump has plans to restore jobs and wages. He will restore the import tariffs and/or negotiate balanced trade deals instead of deals where they sell into our markets but don't buy anything but our debt and equities in return. He will also rebuild and repair our infrastructure. And he is a builder. He won't be channeling the funds to his "bundlers" like Obama did. He will be building infrastructure and the wall and anything else we actually need.
6. restoring manufacturing will improve our "economic dynamism and innovative capacity"
7. Trump wants to lower corporate taxes...tariffs and income taxes from people returning to work would give him the means to do that and lower individual taxes as well.
8. Trump is a businessman, he is more likely to remove red tape on starting a business than others.
9. Trump will restore the rule of law and work with congress when laws need to change.

94 million unemployed people agree.

[Article, quoting WSJ] American workers have the slow growth in jobs and wages to prove it [that it's all Obama's fault] ."

Of course, that slow wage growth wouldn't be a function of the huge and accelerating growth of L-1 and H-1B and now H-2B (unskilled) labor immigration shoving American workers aside in favor of lower-paid Asians, and the uncontrolled flood of unskilled and semi-skilled labor across the southern border.

Until 9/11 forced them to stuff a sock in it, the WSJ was constantly pounding the table for uncontrolled immigration. At one point, a WSJ editorial demanded that the Constitution be amended to read, "There shall be open borders", quote unquote.
