The rap on Donald Trump is that hes all bluster. The New York Times says hes offering incoherent mishmash. Ted Cruz claims Trump has no idea how to fix the economy.
Dont believe it. The Trump campaign is putting forward proposals to fix problems facing the nation, from the long waits for medical care at the VA to the impending collapse of Obamacare.
Check out Trumps economic plan, for starters. Unlike Hillary Clintons radical anti-business agenda, Trumps plan would actually help unemployed Americans get back to work.
Trump slashes the corporate tax rate to 15 percent, down from the current 40 percent, the highest rate in the industrialized world. Not all American companies pay that staggering rate, but even after deductions and accounting maneuvers, companies in the U.S. end up clobbered with taxes nearly twice the global average (24 percent).
In Ireland, a magnet for tax-weary companies, the rate is only 12.5 percent, and their economy is growing about three times as fast as ours. Conversely, Japan and Argentina are stuck in the doldrums along with the U.S., partly because of their high corporate tax rates.

A good article FRiend, the choice should be obvious even to double digit IQ voters, do they want:
1.) An aging socialist with a default position of ‘tax business’?
2.) An unindicted Communist who has said she’s going to ‘take things away from you’ for the common good?
or:
3.) An unabashed and unapologetic American capitalist who actually has extensive and successful business experience and has the tools to “Make America Great Again”?
It’s a no-brainer. VOTE FOR TRUMP.
There’s plenty of policy papers on his web site. Even a two year old can find them. So what the &^%$ is everyone’s excuse?
Very sound economics.
However, there is virtually no sympathy out there at this point for corporations amongst the body politic. In order to sell this he is likely going to have to assuage those feelings by doing some very un-Conservative things, like restrictions on outsourcing and hiking the minimum wage.
He sells it by communicating we need a level playing field. Fair Trade, fair wages, fair taxes.
He can also bundle his tarrif proposal into environmental concerns, by making countries who wish to sell in our country subject to our environmental, safety, and occupational regulations. Then reign in the EPA.
This sounds fantastic.
Some good ideas here. I am willing to give Trump a chance to see what he can do-—Job Banks sound good to me.
W could have done all this years ago, but he decided to grow the government instead and get Obama elected.
On paper, yes. However, if that actually goes through, it’ll be a big hit on the economy. Those J-1 holders actually show up for work, aren’t surly, and do the job they’re hired to do. Converting those slots into a “job bank” would result in thousands of unfilled positions, and tens of thousands more that open back up after a week or two when the “inner city youth” decide it’s too hard to actually show up, and quit.
Trump did not get where he is as a very successful businessman by listening to a bunch of whining LOSERS.
I think that is why he is holding firm on “raising taxes on the wealthy.”
Take away individual, but lower the corporate rate.
You’re writing off too many people. Sure, it’s hard to find good American workers of any kind today. But you will find some.
The principle is still good: jobs to Americans first, foreigners afterward.
Do this if you have concerns: reserve jobs for American applicants first. You show up, do a good job, fantastic. You don’t, then you lose your job and it goes to someone with a J-1.
The foreigners can still be there to pick up the slack.
Carson knows exactly what the problem is and how to solve it.
I never said there wouldn’t be *any*. The J-1 program, as described in the article, brings in about 100,000 temp employees every year. Of those, some small percentage probably don’t work out, probably around 3000. My WAG is that if it were converted to a job bank for inner-city youth, with 100,000 available positions, you’d see about 1000-2000 where the applicant never shows at all, and probably about ~15,000 more where the applicant bails on the job after a couple of weeks. Of the ones that stay filled, the level of productivity is likely to be lower overall.
Now, if the “job bank” were open to any American, not just inner-city youth, then yes, the success rate and productivity level would probably be higher, but that’s not Trump’s proposal.
laziness. some butt-hurts are even stating that Trump supporters need to win them over - prove to them why they should vote for Trump over Hillery - i guess because they are two damn lazy to study the man themselves. pathetic....
Even if you don’t like Trump or even hate him, even if you are not a fan of Alex Jones or hate HIM, even if you are into the crazy NEVERTRUMP “thing” if you love America — the idea — and want it to be here for your kids and grand kids, PLEASE WATCH THIS INTERVIEW! The really important stuff starts around 2:27.
And please share it with any of the NEVERTRUMP people you know. We’re in what could well be the LAST DITCH in the fight for this country!

Perhaps tie government benefits to participation in the job bank.
No participation, sever cut in payouts. Something like that.
Never doubted him.
