My views on the Trump-Vance platform
1 Seal the border and stop the migrant invasion
The USA was built on immigration. Sealing the border is self-entitlement. Legalizing immigration provides a much larger tax base.
2 Carry out the largest deportation operation in American history
Deportation will cost a very large sum. Granting amnesty will produce a larger tax base. Amnesty might encourage more illegal immigration. Create a more viable immigration policy instead.
3 End inflation, and make America affordable again
Not even economists have successfully ended inflation.
America is not equivalent to just the USA. There is also Canada, Mexico, Guatemala, Argentina, and all the rest of the continent. America to mean the USA is an attitude of "We are the world" rather than "We are a part of the much bigger world."
4 Make America the dominant energy producer in the world, by far!
Too ambitious a promise.
5 STOP OUTSOURCING AND TURN THE UNITED STATES INTO A MANUFACTURING SUPERPOWER
Obama wanted to reshore manufacturing and only got as far as near-shoring to Mexico. The new generation in the USA don't want to work in manufacturing anymore, but in high-tech, health care, and online jobs. This is an unrealistic promise. Even Boeing had to source various components of the 787 airliner worldwide.
6 Large tax cuts for workers and no tax on tips!
This is good!
7 Defend our constitution, our bill of rights, and our fundamental freedoms, including freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the right to keep and bear arms.
Good.
8 Prevent World War Three, restore peace in Europe and in the Middle East, and build a great iron dome missile defense shield over our entire country -- all made in America
This is too ambitious a promise.
9 End the weaponization of government against the American people
Good.
10 Stop the migrant crime epidemic, demolish the foreign drug cartels, crush gang violence, and lock up violent offenders
领英推荐
We focus on addressing crime. Have we looked at the other perspective? Why we have drug cartels is because of demand. Without demand, there won't be a supply. Let's focus on ourselves: why is there a craving for drugs? Demand is also stimulated by the suppliers. But with fortitude and temperance, we can resist that temptation.
11 Rebuild our cities, including Washington DC, making them safe, clean, and beautiful again.
Good.
12 Strengthen and modernize our military, making it, without question, the strongest and most powerful in the world
No comment.
13 Keep the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency
Good. The USD will be challenged by the GBP and EUR.
14 Fight for and protect Social Security and Medicare with no cuts, including no changes to the retirement age
Good. How will this be funded?
15 Cancel the electric vehicle mandate and cut costly and burdensome regulations
This is nonsense.
16 Cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, radical gender ideology, and other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content on our children
This is heteronormative, homophobic agenda.
17 Keep men out of women's sports
Refine qualification definition.
18 Deport pro-hamas radicals and make our college campuses safe and patriotic again
No comment.
19 Secure our elections, including same day voting, voter identification, paper ballots, and proof of citizenship
Good process.
20 Unite our country by bringing it to new and record levels of success
Very ambitious agenda for a very diverse USA.
