You've Got a Year to Turn the Economy Around, What Would You Do?
Self

Posted on 06/03/2022 7:52:17 AM PDT by tenger

I see a lot of comments about what Biden is screwing up and there are many ways.

Let's pretend you have a year, a cooperating Congress, and a mandate to turn the economy around as President, what would you do? (I know, a lot of ifs especially regarding Congress, but work with me here).

Better yet, to stave off the "Let's vote Trump in and let him do it" voices, what would Trump have to do to turn the economy around if he were to take charge tomorrow?

I also hear a lot of "you just can't turn the oil spigot back on. It just doesn't work that way" comments. Fine. What would you do?

6th Re-instate a work requirement for government assistance.

7th Cancel the insane regulations on the trucking industry to improve supply chain issues.

8th Reduce public assistance for illegal aliens in the US to the most bare of minimums, then add the work requirement and publish that news as a deterrent to those considering the trip.

Ok, so my husband who worked 90 minutes away from DC so we could live in relative peace and afford a house, how would he get to work if he can’t use fossil fuels?

Easy answer. Put Donald Trump in charge again, especially with a strongly conservative Republican congress and senate.

Within a year, I would guess that gasoline would be under a dollar, the stock market (DJIA) would be pushing 70,000, the dollar would again become the most desirable currency on Earth, and the purge of worthless, corrupt, malignant bureaucrats would rival Vlad Tepis.

The United States has lost the ability to construct nuclear power plants. Look at the debacle in South Carolina as evidence.

One thing on my list would be to end government grants to environmental groups. Where do you think they get all this money to sue people who want to extract energy?

They get it from the Arabs. Have for years. Who else benefits from killing fracking?

Government regulations are the biggest obstacle to building either of them.

The very first thing I would do is string up Xiden’s puppet-master and the others in that inner circle.

“End ALL regulations!!!”

Agreed, but a more practical first step might be to order all executive agencies and departments to move out of Washinton DC within 6 months or lose all funding for the rest of the year.

Many will leave the agencies, but those who move will be too busy to break a lot more of the economy for a while. As the Zussman trial proves, we can’t have these tyrants minions functioning in DC where a federal jury will never convict them.

Easy.

Have Biden admit his people cheated then turn the Presidency over to Trump.

Trump knows what needs to be done.

It goes without saying that doing that would be unbelievably unwise.

"Just go back and reinstate all of Trumps policies that Biden foolishly cancelled out of spite. In addition stop sending money out of the nation. If were going to irresponsibly print money how about keeping it at home?"

I agree 100%.

Economy is a desperate Democratic and RINO-manufactured crisis imo. Democrats may be planning to release their chokehold on economy a month before Election Day and take credit for fixing economy to try to win on Election Day.

So Trump's red tsunami of patriot supporters need to vote career Democrats and RINOs out of office which we are in the process of doing.
