I like a lot of the ten strategies.

The biggest problem being that they ultimately get watered down into half of what they are and many of them are not strong enough to begin with.

We need a border fence/wall within the first 18 months across the entire Southern border.

We don't need any immigration of any kind for at least two years.

We can't wait ten years to balance the budget. That's too long. Three or four years with an economy growing at 4% is more like it. We need a balanced budget within the first term of a Trump Presidency. We are in terrible economic straits. A balanced budget must happen almost immediately. I could go on but you get it.

Harding and the Depression of 1920/21. Harding cut both taxes and spending!

Economics

Harding cut federal spending, lowered taxes, and began paying off the wartime national debt. He restored prosperity by 1921, opening a decade of rapid growth known as the Roaring 20s.

Harding created the Bureau of the Budget to allow the White House to monitor all federal spending. Shortly after taking office, Harding also successfully passed promotion of US Agriculture, repeal of the wartime “excess profits” tax and reduction of rail rates.

Rader (1971) challenges the view that the tax policies of Harding’s Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon reversed the progressive policies of the Wilson years and allowed the wealthy to become wealthier. The new rates were very low for most people, and yet were high enough to retire the war debt and generate a budget surplus. The net effect of this legislation, Rader argues, was to “impose more progressivity on the federal income tax structure than has existed in any other peace-time period of American history.”
