2. Repair and heal the Nation within by tackling issues like Opiods. Unemployment. low/stagnant wages. Inner city/small town poor and working poor non participation in labor and reliance on entitlements. The Trump platform is attemtping to heal the american individual by getting the individual back on a healthier basic lifestyle of an honest days work for and honest days pay.
1) We want to push for an increasing share of a shrinking pool - might be a good short-term strategy but not a good long-term one.
2a) Opioids - nope - nothing done.
2b) Stagnant wages - nope - nothing done.
2c) Healthier basic lifestyle - you mean like Trump? There has been nothing done on this front either.
2d) Reliance on entitlements and greater labor force participation - 2a wasn't tackled - incarceration rates weren't tackled - I have a very healthy skepticism on this one.
2) Basically, promises, promises with smoke and mirrors. And like previous administrations - kicking the ball down the field.
Come on!!!!! Its only been 1 year and 4 months!!!!!!!!
This is the first president EVER to make such
bold statements to get elected and stick to them. Evidence in israel today!!
and its been
the most scrutinized first year ever in office for any administration. ever!!!!! he has over 300 unapproved political appointees!!!!!! His USAG recused himself out of the damn job 4 months into it!!! he cant even get the current acting director of CIA approved without a damn circus!!!!!!
I outlined "the plan." Come on!! This stuff doesn't happen over night!!!!
Trump has not had one single day in office yet where he has not been under tremendous scrutiny of russia collusion(which is non-existent), then obstruction (of russia collusion investigation-which again is non existent), and now stotmy gate which they are trying desperately to tie to campaign finance.
Contrast and compare this to the obama administration*that went virtually unscathed by main stream media which afforded him high rating with the public which affored him leeway with his poliitcal capital<--and he barely got a damn thing done!!!, or the even the bill clinton administration that went 6 full years before the independent counselor was assigned. Trump has been under tremendous scrutiny both in multiple house and senate investigations. MORE THAN Half of his own party was against him up until elelction night because he effectively turned the party upside down. and then of course the 91% negative coverage from main stream media.
In spite of all that... all of these policies are "in motion" and gaining more and more momentum.
Wages<--this is all about securing the border and making UE rates miniscule. Once labor gets scarce, corps will have to PAY MORE for the same labor to keep the individual.
Closing the border is a huge part of solving this problem!!.
Opiods<--Only TRUMP wasn even talking about this in 2015, and 2016. Now everyone is talking about it. ummm. heloo!! tallking about it is the beginning to fixing it. Now everyone is talking and WORKING to fix it. Thank TRUMP!!!! And Trump has signed legislation and executive orders going after pharmacies, doctors and manufacuters for over supplying and prescribing within the past months.
Closing the border and getting rid of illegal opiods is a huge part of getting rid of this problem too!!
I said
healthier lifestyle in that "going to work for honest days pay" is healthier than sitting at home watching TV. and playing on the internet. Than sitting at home doing nothing and waiting for a monthly entitlement check. A restless mind and body wanders. and often gets into trouble. Trump is putting the american worker
back to work at historic rates. eating greens, nuts and berries is
NOT the only healthy choices to make in life.
Entitlements<--Trump is attempting to close our borders to illegals which will
effectively affect UE rates and wages in a positive manner. YOu put more people to work and it will keep them off the streets at night and you get them off of entitlements. thats the way it goes. You get them off the streets and back to work and your entitlement costs go down and your healthcare costs go down and your opiod usage goes down. You close off the border to illegals AND "street" opiods and opiod death go down. Likely usage as well due to lack of access. You punish doctors and pharms for supplying and "legal" access also goes down.
Additionally,
Trump HAS NOT even taken on entitlement cost drivers YET. He wanted to last year but all the scutiny held him back. They are waiting until after the 2018 mid terms. Then all the free lunch is going to go away for able bodies that can work for their keep.
A big part of this is another look at retirement age and benefits paid out as well as big pharm cost drivers which are already being addressed with studies and reports.
Trumps trade and tariffs with foreign nations speak for themselves. he is bringing jobs back by good foreign trade negotiations.
Trump is doing all of this. As all of us are aware.
Some/most of it is being slow walked due to congress not funding his wall. Democrats do not want this man to succeed. Even if the country suffers, so long as the Trump agenda is not the cause of "american success." Even if we lose jobs oversees. and wages remain stagnant. And kids keep killing each other on the streets of chicago over drug "turf" while selling drugs that enter our country through the porous southern border. and Kids and even middle aged adults keep killing themselves on illicit opiods that enter our country through access through our souther border. Dems dont care. Libs dont care. Bernie Socialists dont care. Because under no circumstances does anyone want to see the American poor and working poor advance via trumps "bootstrap" agenda. they dont want this class of people to advance and FULLY participate in the labor force so as to realize the american dream via jobs and hard work. because they will LOSE VOTERS.
The Working class does NOT like to pay excessive taxes. Study after study shows that excessive number to be between 25-30% for the working class making less than $120,000.So it will take time to see results. And you know it!!
bottom line. NO ONE.
not a single soul on the entire planet was even talking about any of this let alone implementing an actual plan to tackle these issue besides trump. NO ONE!!!! It was Trump and Trump alone taking on these issues. Thats because Trump, the builder, employs the working class. Surprisingly, This billionaire understand them better than a guy down the street making $150,000 per year. His instincts are better than yours.
Since Trump took office
all of these issues are being addressed by his border, tax, trade and tariff policies. and I say that these are the most important domestic issues of our time. Jobs, Wages, taxes, illegal and legal drug use.
His foreign policy in terms of national security is swinging for the fences in Israel, North Korea, and now Iran. Its late in the 7th inning in israel and north korea and he up 2 runs and about to bring in his ace closer. In Iran his leadoff hitter just drew a walk. We will see how it goes. In terms of ISIS, he swept the series and it wasnt close. It was such a badass and stunning victory that North Korea is scared shxtless and I suspect Iran will follow suit and Israel is going to take care of a lot of that I suspect.
Foreign trade(keeping manufacturing jobs at home) speaks for itself. Again, its only been a little over a year.
like i said, its a full rebuild.
