After Donald J. Trump finishes doing all the things he has promised: build the wall, deport illegals and Syrian invaders, cancel Obama’s unconstitutional executive orders, roll back twenty years of intrusive government regulations, prosecute Hillary and her crew, release the secret 28 pages from the 9/11 report, negotiate prescription drug purchases, repeal and replace Obamacare, simplify the Tax code, repatriate $2.5 trillion in off-shore profits, stop the IRS from abridging the free speech of Christian Churches, reform the libel laws to remove the “public figure” distinctions, defund Planned Parenthood until they stop doing abortions, cleaning up the mess that is the VA, cutting waste, fraud and abuse where ever it is found, canceling Common Core and returning control of education to the States, end the assault on the Second Amendment, audit the Federal Reserve System, investigate the harmful additives in Vaccines and the coverup of studies at the CDC, and destroy the culture of Political Correctness, then we can talk about all the “Conservative” issues that need to be addressed.
That’s an interesting grab bag of initiatives. Some of the are obviously estimable, straightforward and common sense. Some are vague and ill-defined, but laudable like “cleaning up the mess with the VA” or “ cutting waste, fraud and abuse where ever it is found”.
Some appear to me to be pernicious, like “repatriate $2.5 trillion in off-shore profits” or “investigate the harmful additives in Vaccines and the coverup of studies at the CDC”. I don’t know how you can “repatriate” $2.5 trillion in “off-shore profits” without riding roughshod over property rights.
The very last thing we need is further politicization of the CDC. The CDC, it appears to me, has worked well for about a century. Most of its staff are, I am sure, apolitical in their approach to disease. Attempts to put pressure on the CDC to pursue the latest fads, seem to me to threaten its mission.
But that’s the problem with Trump. He is unprincipled, so he has no compass to guide him. He says things that are popular, and which he may actually believe. He has no principles to buffer him against popular passions, and his own fancies of the moment. Our *form* of government was designed to protect against passions of the moment. Laws should not shift based on an internet poll. Or the political preferences of a few Supreme Court justices or the president.
SubMareener geeze sounds like a LONG list of conservative issues to me!!!!
