To restore the balance of the Republic then we must get rid of the 17th Amendment.
Trump isn’t talking about anything really except that he is running as the Martyr Candidate.

I haven’t heard him talk about the out of control Budget and Spending, Medical Costs, Interest Rate Expense, Bloated Defense Budget, Etc.. He has no plans to deal with any of that at this time.

Trump himself added $6 to $8 Trillion to the national debt and by the time Biden is through will have a $40 Trillion Debt. He wants a $7 Trillion Budget and no way to pay for it. No way he can raise taxes enough to cover this. Medicate Taxes would have to be raised 6X and then what, people would have no money for any of the basics of living.

Trump needs to be hitting all these things hard, but I don’t think he will. The biggest thing to deal with is the Health Care Costs in the budget, $2.5 Trillion and Trump could have done something in his first term if he had let loose the DOJ Anti-Trust on the Medical Insurance companies and the Health Care Cartels and drive cost down to 5% of GDP and yet here we are with costs at 20% of GDP and nothing being done.

I agree that getting costs down is important, but if Trump heads into the territory of “austerity” in his messaging, then he’s gonna lose people.

Inflation is an issue, Trump has frequently acknowledged that. Let him fix it his own way while dealing with real issues that he HAS ALWAYS talked about: Securing the border, deporting illegals, and keeping us out of expensive foreign entanglements.
