But Trump has a tax plan, (it will lower taxes across the board) and Trump plans to improve the regulation situation. You have probably heard that he is not a believer in global warming. He would allow coal plants for a time, not clear what environmental limits would be, but I believe that we have developed policies that result in clean air and water and we can still support fossil fuel as we also develop the renewable resources too.

As far as tariffs, he would threaten high tariffs as a starting point and end with a deal. What would be the end point? Depends on whether the companies can be persuaded to keep jobs here?

BTW, I know what I am talking about here, my company (Lockheed) moved some jobs to Mexico as part of Nafta. The product was made so badly (low quality) that the contracts had to be cancelled and the jobs moved back to the Bay Area. What is important here is that there are often many factors involved in moving on operation somewhere else. Maybe cross boarder is not the best option. Maybe just moving to a non-union state is enough. But Trump has the right idea. What we have now is no consideration being given to the work that will be lost. That has to be entered into the trade off.

This would be the tax plan predicted to increase the deficit by $10 trillion over the next eight years or so?

...and Trump plans to improve the regulation situation.

That is a very non-specific promise. What regulations or what areas will he improve?

He would allow coal plants for a time, not clear what environmental limits would be...

Wouldn't knowing that be important? After all I for one don't want my air looking like Beijing's or my rivers looking like the Yangtze.

As far as tariffs, he would threaten high tariffs as a starting point and end with a deal.

What if he can't strike a deal?

What would be the end point? Depends on whether the companies can be persuaded to keep jobs here?

Trump has said he will make Apple manufacture their products here. How can he do that with them or Ford or any other company without punishing them?
