Donald Trump: My Plan to Make America Affordable Again—and Bring Back the American Dream | Opinion
Newsweek ^ | 1 Oct, 2024 | By Donald J. Trump 45th President of the United States

Posted on 10/01/2024 12:45:09 PM PDT by MtnClimber

For years, Americans have watched as our country has been stripped of our jobs and stripped of our wealth. We've watched our companies get sold off to foreign countries. But with my plan for the American economy, this will stop immediately. When I am president, we will begin to take other countries' jobs and factories, bringing businesses and trillions of dollars back to the United States.

Under my plan, American workers will no longer be worried about losing their jobs to foreign nations. Instead, foreign nations will be worried about losing their jobs to Americans. German car companies can become American car companies. We can beat China in electronic production. Manufacturers that have left us will come sprinting back to our shores.

Here's the deal that I will be offering to companies and manufacturers around the planet: The United States will give you the lowest taxes, the lowest energy costs, the lowest regulatory burdens, and free access to the best and biggest market on the planet—but only if you make your products here in America and hire American workers for the job.

If these companies don't take the deal, they'll pay a tariff when they send their products—made in another country—to us. And we will use the hundreds of billions of tariff dollars to benefit American citizens.

This New American Industrialism will create millions of jobs, massively raise wages for American workers, and make the United States a manufacturing powerhouse once again.

By contrast, Vice President Kamala Harris, the Tax Queen, plans to tax unrealized capital gains, so if a company succeeds, it must give half of its value to the government. Harris is right now shutting down power-plants across the country, causing electricity prices to soar by more than 100 percent and driving us into third world status

Aside from the US Steel allusion, this is magnificent.

Kudos to Newsweek for publishing it. I’m sure the anti-free speech crowd will have a cow. Good.

The comments are interesting. There are a lot of facts and figures mentioned & I have no idea how true they are. AlI I know is we cant afford to eat out anymore, go on vacation etc.

Reading those comments I couldn’t help but think “don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining”.

At least he has a plan that doesn’t start with; “Well, I grew up in a middle-class neighborhood..”

Democrats and Establishment GOPers sound a lot alike when it comes to tariffs. A lot of Freepers sound like Democrats too.

Just saw a TV ad of two women. One said she likes how Kamala lowered her taxes.
The other said Trump’s plan if he wins is to add a new national sales tax for everyone to pay.

She said “It will cost an average of $4,000 more a year for each of us. I can’t afford that.” Neither could the other woman.

These KH ads with huge already debunked lies are defamatory with actual malice behind them. Kameltoe’s campaign needs to get sued BIG time, otherwise it will become SOP for the demoncrat party.

They were way ahead already (due to full power of the dinosaur media and the social media) as watching for “disinformation” and “hate speech” from the right.

Saw a few seconds of Dana Bash or someone interrupting JD Vance and saying the earlier withdrawal of specific arms to Israel to threaten them “didn’t happen” and “that was a false story.” Outrageous. Israel is still on edge over whether the precise targeting weapons are going to suddenly stop again.

But they have to be stopped for this. Agree with you.

I’m all for US increasing its manufacturing base. My fear is we have already crossed the rubicon after decades of reckless spending. We’ve exported much of our inflation by all the dollars we’ve shipped overseas.

IF manufacturing jobs return to the US, the exported products will be bought with US dollars…..which means those dollars flood back to the US and increases inflation -> hyperinflation. Similar happened to the Weimar Republic.

The mark was seen as stable and many countries were awash in marks…..as German manufacturing increased - the mark came flooding back to Germany. More marks meant higher prices, the government printed more marks. There was a slight deflationary period, a short time where the government tried to peg the mark to gold….prices started to normalize under the gold mark, but it was “too slow,” and the gold standard removed. As inflation returned, the German people sought tangible goods and dumped their marks as fast as they could. To keep up, the government printed marks as fast as they could, on whatever they could as paper became in short supply.

The problem is we likely couldn’t return to a gold standard even if there was political will to do so. Alternative is the cryptodollar - which many are [rightfully] suspicious of, and has no intrinsic value…and could still set the stage for hyperinflation. This is compound by many central banks divesting from the dollar and stocking gold.

Seems like quite a promise to make. Though, I’ll take an empty promise over anything Kamala is offering.
