You looking forward to Cruz’s VAT tax?
Where are any plans on entitlements?
You certainly post a (lot) of anti-Trump nonsense.
Just saying.
Almost like you’re advocating for someone else.
According to Trump, it’s not the giant, overreaching government programs that are the problem. It’s the people running them. So don’t expect anything to reduce in size or effectiveness under a Trump presidency.
Big bureaucrat layoffs.
He’s already said that he plans to increase tariffs.
National Review=TRASH
In order to get ANY spending under control, the unending swarms of illegal invaders must be dealt with first. They are the ones overwhelming the system, not Americans, and that is by design, by the way.
And we spread billions upon billions of dollars around the world for, shall we say, less than worthy causes that should be made available here.
Mr. Trump will get a handle on both. He understands the problem and has the intestinal fortitude to steamroll the liberal nonsense that’s killing us.
The others, even if they do understand what it will take to right this ship, simply won’t get the job done. Period.
No president can change the tax plan. It may be possible for the president to work with congress to change taxes. I see NO chance of Cruz doing that so his plan is meaningless.
I think Trump has a chance of getting congress to work. Business at Trump’s level is about finding win-win solutions and getting different, often opposing, groups to work together.
Trump’s plan shows us what direction he wants to go. It’s almost certainly not going to be passed as-is.
The 2 main issues are
1. WE NEED TAX REFORM
2. CONGRESS IS DYSFUNCTIONAL
Who is most likely be be able to overcome 2 in order for congress to do 1? Same goes for immigration, trade, health care, debt, and lots of other issues where congress has agreed for a decade we need to fix but has done nothing about.
In an election, you cannot say you are going to eliminate “social” spending without being excoriated by the mediots.
These are not entitlements, they are vote buying schemes. You are entitled to the air you breath....that’s about it.
Trump, or anyone else who intends to cut such spending would do well to not discuss their plans until after the election.
There is simply no reason to hand them the rope to hang you with.
This is the groaning BS the stupid elites pulled on Reagan when he proposed supply side economics. Reagan was right and the doom sayers where wrong, and so is the Nasty Review.
How many more anti-Trump threads do you have to start before you get paid?
To understand what is coming, just look at the different price level of America, even in the 1920s boom, and the price level today. And look also at today's $300,000+ homes that were trading under $10,000 in the 1930s, even after Roosevelt devalued the dollar to 1/35th of an ounce of gold.
Your & National Review's attempts to discredit Trump are only discrediting the anti-Trump movement. All Trump needs to do is cut a few programs out; make the remaining bureaucracy more efficient; reduce the tax consequences of repatriations of Corporate funds held overseas; restore confidence, and watch what happens, when those paper money reserves flow back into the market.
Do not misunderstand me. I was certainly not in favor of the Keynesian expansion of the money supply. But do not ignore the effect on the deficit--which admittedly cheats the bond holders--in you analysis. (Just because you deplore a policy--the Bush/Obama policy--does not mean you should ignore its ultimate effect.)
You CANNOT CUT TAXES!!!!!!
no WAY, no HOW, NONONONONO!!!!!!!!!!
Keep our GRAVY TRAIN just as IT IS!!!!!
When there are more jobs, because Trump reduces regulations, helps with a pro-American trade policy and encourages domestic energy production, then there will be more tax revenue coming in and less need for welfare, food stamps, etc. A simple restoration of the welfare reform that Gingrich & Co. forced down Clinton’s throat - which Barky got rid of - will also do wonders to reduce the size of the welfare state.
FYI, you might want to look up what he did with the Wollman skating arena in Central Park in the mid-’80s - the level of sheer incompetence and not giving a damn by government employees at ALL levels was stunning. He went in there and got the job done for a tiny fraction of the literal millions that NYC had wasted over 6 years to do less than nothing, and in 5 months had a working rink. THAT is what the private enterprise mindset can do.
Is Trump G-d, that he’ll fix all of the problems of 75 years of a welfare state in the blink of an eye - nope, not by a long shot. But he’ll do a lot more than virtually anyone else. The reasoning here is simple: because he will be held to the highest standards, he MUST perform or it will soil his legacy forever - and with an ego like his, that’s not something that he’s going to allow to happen. Whatever else you (or anyone else) thinks of Trump, he IS a man of action, he DOES get things done and he knows how to motivate people to do their best.
