Trump's economic policies are a mixed bag.
Business regulations and environmental rules have been relaxed - Good
Pro-business President - Good
Pressure on Mexico and Canada - Good
Pressure on China - Neutral, since our trade deficit with China continues to set new records
Massive LEGAL immigration - 1.1 million last fiscal year - Destructive
Skilled work visas - H-1B and OPT now at 1.3 million, higher than Obama - Destructive
Massive Work Visas + Massive Legal Immigration - allow USA employers to postpone capital investment in productivity software and labor saving devices, and to postpone modifying their outdated business plans - Destructive
Trump's Budget Deficits - Trump had to borrow almost $800 billion in FY 2018, in spite of high employment, low interest rates, and no wars. Trump's FY 2019 budget is on track for a $1 trillion deficit! - Destructive
Gosh he,a only fixed half of our problems in two years with almost no help from his own party and constant attacks from the Democrats and media. What a dissapointment.
I agree with you on the deficit front; we must control spending. Bigly.
The legal immigration question I don’t think I do; we are at near record low unemployment. If businesses need more workers, why should the gov’t disallow them to LEGALLY hire outside help? Tax revenues come into the coffers and more importantly the businesses don’t look to take their job sites outside the borders.
Just thinkin’. :)
