The only thing I want government to do for me is get the hell out of my way.

I expect the mass deportations and closing of the immigration valves will lower housing/rent costs (plus for renters like myself) and put the pressure on employers to start investing in Americans again rather than H1B.

Pay all of my bills, buy me a new car, wipe my ass.... Oh... and scratch the itch in middle of my back when I'm driving with a winter coat on.

When did he even suggest that?

Reform education and the criminal justice system in the US.

Reform education by taking monies from public schools that are already suffering?
Throw people in jail without a trial?


Legalize marijuana.

You're dreaming.

Expand State power by doing away with various Federal Agencies.

So a gay person, for ex, had better not take a job in NC?


Lower cost of higher education.

Are you on something?

Fix Healthcare system. Make it inexpensive and increasingly available.

It will be an open, greedy, unregulated market that ordinary people will not be able to keep up with. Corporate providers strive for corporate PROFIT.


Fix housing market and lower rates. Increase availability of home loans for first time buyers.

Yeah sure, with dopey unfit Ben Carson taking the lead, he being against rent subsidies and all.

Illegals don't arrive on H1B visas. Employers use lots of Asians on these visas for IT jobs because they can pay them a lot less than American employees.

Most illegals live with lots of family members in low rent areas or trailer parks. I doubt them being gone will lower your rent.

Now if you are looking for a landscaping, roofer or maid or nanny job, the reduction in illegal workers may help you.

Raise the military end strength, and associated civilian support staff back to levels that allow the Armed Forces to actually have the ability to conduct their assigned missions. Get our Veterans the care they deserve. Stop targeting military retiree benefits as a first action to save dollars for other initiatives. Finally, stop using the military as a giant social experiment.
You do realize expanding the military and civilian staff will greatly increase the national deficit, right?

That's because we are rapidly moving away from an age where facts and reason and critical thinking mattered. Once you toss those pre-requisites for modern society onto the ash heap of history, it's certainly possible that a con man like Trump could prevail in taking us back into the dark ages.
^^^^^^^^^^^^This, YES!!

Wondering your age and profession. What do you expect this regime will do for you personally for where you are at in life?
