President Donald Trump gave a speech at the Economic Club of New York this week. In the speech, he laid out his economic vision to Make America Affordable Again.
The underlying message of the entire speech is that we do not have to accept mediocrity, national decline, and unaffordability as a people. All the economic misery we are living through right now is being intentionally imposed on us. We all sense that things can get better for Americans. But how? Nobody in power seems to have a plan or even care to try to formulate one.
Donald Trump does have a plan for this. Here it is.
On his first day in office, Trump will issue a National Emergency Declaration. Under that declaration, he plans to use sweeping authority to increase domestic production of energy immediately. “Joe Biden” has thrown up every hurdle imaginable to stop energy production, while draining the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to its lowest level ever to artificially keep gas prices lower. We’d be paying $7 or $8 a gallon for gas right now if not for this artificial manipulation created by selling our oil and gas reserves to China.
Trump will cut through layers of bureaucracy and red tape to spark new drilling (Drill, baby, drill!) while building new pipelines, refineries, power plants, and reactors. Prices will start to fall immediately in anticipation of the new energy supplies. You’ll be paying less at the pump and less to power your home.
Next, Trump will eliminate the Green New Deal. Joe Biden, who just doesn’t give two effs anymore after his own party elders dethroned him, said the quiet part out loud this week when he went off script during a speech. He admitted that the “Inflation Reduction Act” was the wrong name for the bill that Congress passed (and he signed). They should have called it the “Green New Deal,” instead of the Inflation Reduction Act. Congress appropriated hundreds of billions of dollars for the Green Nude Eel that remain unspent to this day. Trump will return that money to the Treasury.
To further defeat inflation, Trump promises to eliminate ten regulations for each new one passed under his administration. During his first term, he promised the elimination would be a 2:1 ratio. It ended up being 4:1 and was part of how he grew the American economy into the best one that many of us had seen in our lifetimes.
Trump plans to create a Government Efficiency Commission. This was Elon Musk’s idea, and he has already accepted the idea of heading the commission. It will identify redundancies, waste, and fraud after conducting a full audit of the entire federal government.
Remember when Musk fired tons of dead weight at Twitter the first week after he bought it? Everyone predicted the social media site would crash and become unusable. Instead, nothing happened. He trimmed all the dead weight and undercover FBI censors on the staff and everything continued as normal—only better.
Then, Trump will make the 2017 tax cuts permanent. Those are going to sunset next year, by the way, if Kamala ends up in office. If you think you’re getting jammed up badly by the IRS now, just wait a year.
Trump plans to have no tax on tips and no tax on Social Security. Kamala may have stolen the No Tax on Tips idea, but Republicans already called the Democrats’ bluff on that one. Republicans in the California legislature proposed an amendment to end the tax on tips right now. Every Democrat voted against it and killed the amendment. Kamala is a California Democrat. She’s not going to cut your taxes.
Companies that choose to manufacture in America, thus creating American jobs, will get a corporate tax rate cut to 15% (as opposed to the current 21%). If you outsource jobs, you’ll pay the higher tax rate plus a tariff when those goods are imported into the US.
Trump has even deeper plans to encourage domestic production rather than punish it. He has a plan to make housing more affordable, which he laid out in detail. He’ll also create a Sovereign Wealth Fund for America, which will benefit our people for generations to come.
That’s Trump’s economic vision for the country, in a nutshell. Kamala Harris and Tim Walz don’t have a plan. It’s why they don’t do real interviews. The only thing they can offer is more of the same, which is exactly what America doesn’t need.
