17 Comments on President Trump’s 20 Promises To America
This should have come out weeks ago.

MONTHS AGO!! Then we wouldn’t be inundated with her LIE-FILLED commercials.

I remember when he kept his promises in 2016!
Trump is probably at the top of the heap of all Presidents when it comes to keeping promises because he is the real deal!

Kamalarkey’s 20 promises to America would mention President Trump 20 times.

Piggy-backing off of my comment in the Treasury Pick thread, not one of these “promises” addresses the national debt or the federal government’s profligate spending habits, and to ignore this is just more kicking the can down the road.
A few other beefs;
Building an “iron Dome” here smacks as just another sop to the big defense contractors. This, and “rebuilding our cities” is legalize for ,”Let’s just blow out the deficits to even more astronomical numbers”. City infrastructure falls within the purview of the city budget, not national tax payers. If Detriot, Philly, L.A., or Baltimore want to clean up their shithole cities, elect fiscally conservative people to manage them, easy peezy.
And the promise that he won’t touch S.S. or medicare is more head being inserted in sand.
I want Trump to do the hard things, like pissing off allies because the gravy train is ending, target unions shaming them with their lack of patriotism, tariff the shit out of China (even if it costs me a bit more in my consumerism), executive order a 10% (to start) reduction in all federal government branches, including the military, but most of all, make Americans proud to be American again, and not ashamed like all the leftists feel.

Gotta disagree. Promises 1,2,4,5,and 8 will have a substantial impact on our national debt. Especially if we have Elon controlling the purse strings. His Tariffs, will have a major impact.

“Promises 1,2,4,5,and 8 will have a substantial impact on our national debt.”
They will have {some} impact on the yearly deficit but not the national debt, you being a business guy, I’m sure you know the difference.
And Elon working in any capacity in the Trump admin. will be a good thing, but he isn’t going to be Treasury Secretary or Fed Chairman.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all in on whatever path he puts America on, but I’ve always been a fiscal guy, and want him to measure the financial impact in his decisions.

I promise to load my .410 shown with birdshot and use it to define my home from any threat, foreign or DOMESTIC….

Rich – indeed. I would love to see EVERY American keep EVERY penny they earn…but government MUST cut spending, power, force, scope, etc. in order for that to happen. Let’s see the DETAILS. I’m sure I will be for the details. I would be for 99% reduction in government size, scope, power, theft, etc.

The National Debt is almost insurmountable. Things to keep in mind, and no singular approach is going to fix this mess, every time a conservative cut taxes tax revenue went up. Trump’s approach to bringing back manufacturing to our shore is huge. You could quite possible triple our GNP. Also, in my opinion, our huge defense contractors do way more good than harm. That sector is about the only market where innovation still takes place. (except for Boeing). And we have a lot to rebuild and catch up on. Venture Capital is parked on the sidelines. Why bother. If Trump gets re elected those guys will start investing again. Fingers crossed.
“The National Debt is almost insurmountable.”
Then we are doomed as a nation and deserve whatever scorn and acrimony our kids give us.
I get that it is fucking enormous and mind-boggling, but I would be happy with baby steps like first acknowledging that there is a problem. Work on cutting spending, work on balancing the yearly budget so that there are no deficits, then start whittling down the debt. Of course, it will take decades, but for chrisakes, take that first step.
As an aside (kinda related) you know that Yellowstone starts again Nov. 10th. I have been rewatching the first episodes of season 5 on my phone while I Stairmaster, it’s been so long I forgot most of it. But that scene where Rip and the head of the other ranch are lamenting the change foreigners (tourists) are making to their beloved Montana. Their very existence is in upheaval and no matter how hard they fight to keep the land pristine and unspoiled for their kids, for every step forward there are two steps back. I feel that way about my country, enemies from without and within, and the death struggle we are all in to keep America great. That first step is a positive result tomorrow.

“but I would be happy with baby steps like first acknowledging that there is a problem.”
That would be a breath of fresh air. Even an EZ Payment plan for 500 years would be an improvement. One thing we have going for us is the former Democrat Party has a really week bench. What we have going against us is some really stupid people that vote. Removing the “New Voter Block” is paramount. ASAP.

The National Debt is tiny compared to the FedGov’s “unfunded Liabilities.”
Combined, it’s roughly $787,878.78 per man, woman, and child in the United States.
Which, using an average income of $69,717.00 (USBLS) would mean that every man, woman, and child (assumed earning the average income) would take 11.3 years of EVERY SINGLE DOLLAR they make to pay it off!
And this doesn’t include the skim.

And then there’s this. This regime doesn’t look like they plan on handing over control.
Now that I hear that they are considering bringing in Ron Paul to help Elon, we just might FINALLY get rid of the Fed. Or, at least, get it under control.
