Trump just did a live speech listing all the things he wants to accomplish. It was good stuff. Too much to list here. Trying to find a video clip online.

i liked it all, especially de-funding santuary cities.
i liked it bigly
Just for fun I looked at Politico. Their main page headline: "Trump, in Gettysburg, targets assault accusers." And of course the body of the story was fair and balanced.
There's lots to like in this. Of course the media will pick out the 2 minutes out of 40 they don't like.
You sure ain't looking for them to tell the truth now, do you! grin
I loved the speech. An awful lot of it sounds to me like common sense solutions to the problems we face. A few things I wonder about where the money's gonna come from, but overall he's got a good plan. I believe he's smart enough to pick good people to help implement it.
Only thing he left out was nationwide CCW, but he did touch on that in the third debate. Constitutional carry would be better yet!

My question for Trump is how will he return jobs? He (Trump Inc.) exported jobs for neck ties (formerly made in New York City to Hong Kong), jobs for shirts (formerly made in PA to Bangladesh), jobs for shirts (formerly made in Chicago to Indonesia), jobs for souvenirs (formerly made in USA to China), jobs for furniture (formerly made in NC to Turkey), etc. Without even being elected, he could get jobs back to the USA right now!.

In the 2012 election cycle, he was asked why he had Trump-branded products made overseas and he replied that "Americans won't work for $6 per day." Maybe he'll lower the minimum wage in the US to $6/day so we can get those jobs back.
So of the 6 points which is the Wall that kickstarted his campaign?

Now you have done it...You are asking these knuckle heads to think and defend Trumps actions...


Jobs are not part of his 6 point plan...


1. A Constitutional amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress
2. A hiring freeze on all federal employees to reduce the federal workforce through attrition except for military, public safety and public health
3. For every new federal regulation, two existing regulations must be eliminated

4. A 5-year ban on White House and congressional officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government service

5. A lifetime ban on White House officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government

6. A complete ban on foreign lobbyists raising money for American elections


This is more RED MEAT for the base and they will Chum It UP

Hillary opening borders and bringing in a million muzzy refugees will open lots of jobs up, especially in the criminal justice industry.

She wants to get us more jobs by raising taxes, i guess as irs agents.

She wants to defeat IS IS. Darn, wish she'd have told zero how to do it. Darn.

I guess Ireland lowering corp. Taxes to 15% and getting 8% job growth from it it too deep for a genius like you.

You say idiotic things and expect to be taken seriously.

Bringing jobs back here is simple.

All that matters right now is getting Trump elected. Please vote for Trump.

Everything else is Bullschiese and silent farts.

Bankruptcy laws is why they lost their money, The Government got theirs. The laws are written that the government always get theirs first and if there is nothing left after that then too bad.

There are a lot of benefits to staying here in the states. For many companies, most of their customers are HERE so being here makes shipping easier. Many companies do business with other B2B companies here in the states. And frankly, I think most companies WANT to provide jobs to Americans. On the other hand, the tax and regulatory overhead burdens here make it tempting to go with cheap foreign labor. It's all a balance. If the tax load and regulatory burden were less here in the states, it would no longer be financially advantageous to go overseas. The pluses would outweigh the negatives of higher US labor costs and companies would choose to stay.

In other words, there are many variables that factor into the equation other than a simple apples to apples comparison of labor costs. You are oversimplifying the decision making process.

The clintons have had several of their contracts filled (and drilled) in America.
This was a nice sized contract for clintons buds.

Im not going to worry about those jobs. Lower the corporate tax rate.Eliminate or substantially reduce capital gains taxes. Cut back on regulations here. Watch what happens.

You forgot the chicom steel he used in his Las Vegas hotel. crazy



I really hated to waste the time, but decided maybe you just have no business experience and a few minutes spent might give eyesight to the blind.

These are the corporate tax rates in the countries you mentioned:
Hong Kong 16.5%
Bangladesh 27.5%
Indonesia 25%
China 25%
Turkey 20%

Compared that with the US corporate tax rate of 38.9% and it is obvious why companies produce offshore. In this case it's like getting between 14% and 22% extra margin . . . automatically.

And some countries will negotiate down to 0% to attract the right business.

Factor in the low labor rates in some of these countries, and there is no choice . . . a CEO would be crucified if they didn't move their production.


BTW, do you really think Trump selected the vendor/source for his steel crazy Maybe he just selected the contractor wink

Architect specs what type steel to use, multiple steel firms bid on it and one with the lowest price usually wins. If only this type of steel exists readily and it comes from CHina what the F do the so called experts here expect? I guess they don't remember Japan and then China dumping steel on our market. What has the present government done about it ? NOT A PHUGGING THING

Do not try to talk sense into a bunch of dumbazz morons. Trump also employs what 38,000 people ? Kun-Ton only makes her foreign investor friends wealthy and could give a flying Phug about the Jerkoff's that support her.

A lot of US companies that have moved operations to China hoping to capitalize on that huge opportunity are now facing huge huge losses. Caterpillar for one probably wishes they never moved out there.
I personally liked it when hitlery she was going to essentially redo zeros tarp 2 deal where he gave 870 billion to 3500 companies that support the idiots in charge but she was going to do it (two us) more better.

She has no plan , has not gone into detail like Trump has and neither have addressed the 60% of our budget that goes to entitlements. Trumps plan will explode the economy , I have seen that in my lifetime what happens when an overregulated, repressed economy like this idiot Obongo has created is handed off to a person with a real understanding of how to drive an economy.

Still laughing my azz off at all the dumbphucks on this site and other places that actually believed all the jobs reports and economic reports Obozo put out. You people need to be either spayed or neutered and in some cases both because stupidity like yours is in a class of your own. You get the Gold Medal and a gold plated Shortbus to drive in .

They probably do not, it makes me sick to think of the crap . Bill Clinton put Nafta into law albeit that Bush before him wanted to move it as well but CLINTON could have stopped it. Clinton also undid Glass Steagall , so between having industries flee the US for mexico, he also allowed the financial meltdown of 2008 by allowing banks to aquire all those toxic assets. Is it not Funny how fudgepacker Barney Frank phugged over the US taxpayer with the housing crisis brought on by our stupid stupid Government. He needs to be tracked down and dropped in a boiling vat of oil that POS.

She is a continuation of Obongo until she drops dead.
Yep, economy is growing leaps and bounds with 156,000 jobs added last MONTH. Thats 6000 more than expected.

Oh, dont worry about that little 250,000 new unemployment filings last WEEK, and the WEEK before that.

Hell, adding 156,000 jobs a month is great. Forget loosing 1,000,000 jobs a month. Look at the great news reports on jobs. New Math. What a concept.

He has repeatedly said exactly how he is going to bring jobs back to the US. He has delineated his tax code changes and infrastructure spending, as well as now renegotiating NAFTA.

You can argue about wethet it will work all you want. But don't try to pass the BS lie that he hasn't said unequivocally how he plans to do, just because CNN hasn't run a story about it.
All the liberal dirkheads have is BS.

Oh yeah, Hitlery is great. And, uh, she cares about us pofolk. Youtopia is widin our gr-ass-p. smile
Great speech, even, just judging by the pinko responses it generated. ;-{>8

You want math? Hell I'll go you one better, here's a chart even a dunce can read -

[Linked Image]

That's a chart of civilian employment to population ratio. Notice anything? Wait, first you'll have to take off the dumocrat blinders. There, see it now? That tepid employment growth under obummer? That's what we got for trillions in new debt? That's what we got for shovel ready jobs?

It's time for someone else to take the helm, and it sure as hell isn't another corrupt democrap.
Compare that to GWB and his job growth lets say from 2004-2008...How do they compare. We all like to forget how bad the GWB/Uncle Dick days were. Those neocons turned a very solid economy into a $hit storm in a matter of 2-3 years. Go to war all you like but don't do it on a credit card
There's no point arguing with anyone on the left. They aren't capable of objectively analyzing data w/o agenda.
Obongo pounds his chest and proclaims the economy is on the upswing, Clinton on the campaign trail is outlining her plans to bring the economy back. LOL LOL

Hey Stoopid Trump planned on doubling spending and expanding obamacar or do you like to ignore this fact..

this was on top of increases to the cost of goods by around 35%.

RGinther stated profile-

Occupation: Technician

Yeah, I'm sure.

Hobbies: Hunting, fishing, beer n woman

So cliche. I guess the view down your nose colors your judgement of what it means to be conservative.

I won't bore you with talk of patriotism, you wouldn't relate in the least. My condolences.

Hey Fireball you still trolling me LMFAO

I guess your Lemming like death march continues on........

I gotta admire your convictions despite the absurdity of your choices

GO DONALD DRUMPF

Don't flatter yourself. I only noticed your posts because of the sheer absurdity of the viewpoint you espouse. It's really a sad situation to loath yourself to the point of self-destruction.

I love how all these geniuses always ignore who controls Congress when they wax philosophically. The economy was doing just fine until when??? It went to schit in 2006-2008 after the Democrats took over in Congress. Nothing else changed during that time.

The original Contract with America made me proud to be a Goldwater Conservative. It was full of details; not just soundbites. It gave people something to vote FOR.

To end its cycle of scandal and disgrace. To make us all proud again of the way free people govern themselves.
On the first day of the 104th Congress, the new Republican majority will immediately pass the following major reforms, aimed at restoring the faith and trust of the American people in their government:

FIRST, require all laws that apply to the rest of the country also apply equally to the Congress;
SECOND, select a major, independent auditing firm to conduct a comprehensive audit of Congress for waste, fraud or abuse;
THIRD, cut the number of House committees, and cut committee staff by one-third;
FOURTH, limit the terms of all committee chairs;
FIFTH, ban the casting of proxy votes in committee;
SIXTH, require committee meetings to be open to the public;
SEVENTH, require a three-fifths majority vote to pass a tax increase;
EIGHTH, guarantee an honest accounting of our Federal Budget by implementing zero baseline budgeting.

Thereafter, within the first 100 days of the 104th Congress, we shall bring to the House Floor the following bills, each to be given full and open debate, each to be given a clear and fair vote and each to be immediately available this day for public inspection and scrutiny.

1. The Fiscal Responsibility Act: A balanced budget/tax limitation amendment and a legislative line-item veto to restore fiscal responsibility to an out-of-control Congress, requiring them to live under the same budget constraints as families and businesses.
2. The Taking Back of Our Streets Act: An anti-crime package including stronger truth-in-sentencing, "good faith" exclusionary rule exemptions, effective death penalty provisions, and cuts in social spending from this summer's "crime" bill to fund prison construction and additional law enforcement to keep people secure in their neighborhoods and kids safe in their schools.
3. The Personal Responsibility Act: Discourage illegitimacy and teen pregnancy by prohibiting welfare to minor mothers and denying increased AFDC for additional children while on welfare, cut spending for welfare programs, and enact a tough two-years-and-out provision with work requirements to promote individual responsibility.
4. The Family Reinforcement Act: Child support enforcement, tax incentives for adoption, strengthening rights of parents in their children's education, stronger child pornography laws, and an elderly dependent care tax credit to reinforce the central role of families in American society.

5. The American Dream Restoration Act: A $500 per child tax credit, begin repeal of the marriage tax penalty, and creation of American Dream Savings Accounts to provide middle class tax relief.
6. The National Security Restoration Act: No U.S. troops under U.N. command and restoration of the essential parts of our national security funding to strengthen our national defense and maintain our credibility around the world.
7. The Senior Citizens Fairness Act: Raise the Social Security earnings limit which currently forces seniors out of the work force, repeal the 1993 tax hikes on Social Security benefits and provide tax incentives for private long-term care insurance to let Older Americans keep more of what they have earned over the years.
8. The Job Creation and Wage Enhancement Act: Small business incentives, capital gains cut and indexation, neutral cost recovery, risk assessment/cost-benefit analysis, strengthening the Regulatory Flexibility Act and unfunded mandate reform to create jobs and raise worker wages.
9. The Common Sense Legal Reform Act: "Loser pays" laws, reasonable limits on punitive damages and reform of product liability laws to stem the endless tide of litigation.
10. The Citizen Legislature Act: A first-ever vote on term limits to replace career politicians with citizen legislators.

Further, we will instruct the House Budget Committee to report to the floor and we will work to enact additional budget savings, beyond the budget cuts specifically included in the legislation described above, to ensure that the Federal budget deficit will be less than it would have been without the enactment of these bills.

Respecting the judgment of our fellow citizens as we seek their mandate for reform, we hereby pledge our names to this Contract with America.
In the fall of 1994, 367 Republican candidates from all around the country gathered on the West Front steps of the U.S. Capitol and signed the Contract with America.
That November, the Republicans regained control of both branches of Congress for the first time in forty years. House Republicans won control of the House (235 to 197), including twenty-two seats formerly held by Democrats. Senate Republicans gained a 54 to 47 majority, picking up seven seats—including two incumbent Democratic senators who switched to the GOP.
Gingrich became Speaker of the House. As the Contract with America's signatories promised, the entire platform was acted upon within the first hundred days.
Nine out of the ten items passed the House. Only an attempt to draft a proposed constitutional amendment involving term limits was defeated.
In the end, the House set an example by cutting one-third of House committees, along with one-third of committee staffs. Only two of the ten items, however, were passed into law. First, Congress would no longer be exempt itself from the laws, mandates, and regulations it imposed on the rest of the nation. Moreover, the federal government was prohibited from imposing unfunded mandates on state and local governments.
How about for congress and pres.
A Non sucking foreign dick for free trade, to get my election paid for act?
