Open the pipeline, authorize fracking, open up Alaska, relax restrictions on drilling. Keep tariffs on Chinese goods, encourage American businesses to produce their goods here.Shut down the open border. Stop pissing away American taxpayer money.

Get government off the backs of business.
Shut down the EPA.....
Severely curtail OSHA...
Tell the army corps of engineering to go pound sand...
remove cafe standards...
Remove mpg standards...
Let people cut hair without going thru 1800 hours of training to get a license..

I think this would be a great start

A year may not be enough to get through all the problems but

- issue an executive order reversing every single executive order Biden implemented.

- Slash regulations to the bone.

- get on the phone with large banks and inform them that federal regulations will be performing excruciatingly painful anal probes of all of their businesses and they can expect whatever effery from the federal government can possibly be inflicted upon them unless they start positively throwing cash at fossil fuel development. Today.

- repeal all of the idiotic self defeating sanctions on Russia and quit wasting our money on Ukraine.

- start constructing Keystone XL on day one. I don’t care what it takes. Use federal budget money designated for the 3 letter agencies or whatever else if necessary but Keystone XL gets built and it gets built NOW.

- finish the wall and deport deport deport the millions of illegal aliens Biden invited in. Load ‘em up and ship ‘em out.

- let business executives from large US companies know that they are getting reduced regulatory compliance costs, they are getting cheap energy....but they are also going to see steadily rising tariffs on Chinese goods. Re-shore a lot of the manufacturing jobs you outsourced in the 90s and 2000s.

- require all PPE, antibiotics and painkillers, defense components, and other strategic supplies purchased by the government to be made in the USA.

- open more mines for rare earths.

- shut down any government programs for so-called “green” energy. Return any budgeted sums to the general coffers.

How are you going to force private corporations to build 50 refineries and 25 nuclear power plants?

The simple reality is that it's much easier for a government to wreck an economy than it for a government to fix an economy, especially when you're talking about an advanced society with roads, power plants, and all that stuff.

In that situation about the only thing the government can really do is to get its heavy boot off the economy's neck. But Biden (Obama) and his team are probably incapable of even conceiving of such a thing, so we should probably expect things to continue to suck.

Perhaps having a tax holiday for those who wish to build them.

I think we need a Manhattan Project for nuclear/thorium plants. Get 1-3 functional and safe modular designs and build in every city. Yes, it'll take more than a year, but with the NRC having to approve already approved designs, the process could be sped up greatly, that is, in an ideal world.

First, eliminate all federal agencies created in the 1970s to placate rioting hippies.

Then, decentralize Washington by headquartering the remaining agencies in locations that make sense to their actual function, close to the people their decisions directly affect. Department of Agriculture to Nebraska, for example, Department of Commerce to New York City, Department of Interior to Boise, etc.

Mandate that ALL bills in Congress be limited to a single issue, not piled up with riders and add-ons.

There are literally thousands of other potential remedies, but the biggest remedy by far is reforming Washington. If DC was a corporation, it would have been declared a monopoly and broken up long ago.

There are two keys to fighting inflation. 1.) Increased Productivity and 2.) Tightening Money Supply. Both can be addressed simultaneously. We are where we are in part to uncontrolled government spending which has led to so much debt that money has to be printed. That same government spending goes towards agencies that decrease productivity. It raises the costs to do business. It prohibits and impedes the use of natural resources, such as oil and natural gas.

The vast majority of government needs to be shuttered. Nearly everyone employed in government is not productive. They do not produce anything, in fact, they are counter productive. They impede hard working American's productivity. Send their lazy asses to the unemployment line and force them to get jobs in the private sector where they have to produce. Do not give them extended unemployment benefits. They get the normal amount of unemployment and for once get treated like anyone in the private sector.

The cost savings from the mass shuttering of government will allow for a balance budget and the national debt to be paid. Instead of borrowing and printing money, debt will be reduced. Ultimately, government debt needs to be eliminated.

The mass shuttering of government also has a positive regulatory impact. No more regulatory agencies, means no more regulations. That needs to explicitly spelled out in the law passed to shutter government. Simply eliminate the regulations that forbid and impede natural resource development and slows or makes it impossible for businesses to be profitable.

We will quickly have more freedom and liberty as a result. All those government departments, agencies, boards and commissions that have been weaponized against the American people will be gone. The people who suffer the most will be those that contributed the most to inflation - lazy ass government employees. Make them eff'n suffer and live in the real world where they have to work for a living. They are the problem.

If they wished to build them then they would build them. Instead dozens of refineries have been closed over the past years. The industry has the refinery capacity they want. One which allows them to meet demand with the maximum profit. They aren't going to wildly expand and endanger that.

Open drilling and leases back up.

stop subsidizing “green” initiatives.

Immediately call the head of the Railroads in front of me to explain why they are rejecting shipments.

Subject all foreign earnings by US based companies to full US Tax rates.

Lock down the border.

Audit 100% of all H1B VISA Applicant companies and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law those found to be in violation.

Dissolve the H1B visa entirely.

Hire as many lawyers and judges as needed to work through the immigration backlog.

Arrest and deport all immigration violators.

Reinstate the SALT CAPS

Raise tariffs on all subsidized foreign products.

Return control of schools to local districts, and remove all caveats on federal funds... Remove the department of education from being a Cabinet level position, strip it of 80-90% of its funding, and return control of schools and our child’s education back to the states and people.

That is true, but how many are being hindered by excessive regulation, red tape/feet dragging, and taxes (and then they just give up?)

“Which is?”

__________

Which was.

Meaning, what he was doing. And what Brandon impunitiously eliminated and/or reversed.

Broadly deregulate and commit to less government spending and no new taxes. The economy would blossom almost instantly.
