We’re standing on the edge of a cliff, friend. Trump is the only possible rope with which we might be able to be rescued. Any other option involves horrible death.
I’m willing to compromise on relatively unimportant matters in exchange for not letting Hillary imprison me for life for my faith or not getting my head whacked off by Islamic nutjobs.
And despite this, Trump’s platform is STILL the most conservative that we’ve had since 1984 and perhaps longer.

People have no memory or logic and propaganda easily persuades them. Yes, I understand this is a globalist vs American election not conservative vs liberal one but America is done either way, just slower enslavement to the state instead of fast enslavement to the new world order. Either way you are enslaved.
Sounds good to me.
And I am a former child care center owner!
Might help Trump win but it would never pass a Republican controlled Congress.
Yeah. I agree.
Anyone who is totally freaked out by this:
Imagine what Hitlery will do in this regard....paid abortion leave, after the gov pays for the abortion. Paid “parental leave” for trans-whatever so the male/female/whatever gets leave after being artificially inseminated by 3 different something or others, ALL on gov dime.
I’m afraid that what we’re seeing is a major realignment of the parties in America.
The Democrat Party has moved more toward a European Socialist Party, and the Republican Party has moved toward the Blue Dog Democrat or east coast Republican Party.
Kind of a little earthquake moving everything a little to the left.
The Republican Party now stands for huge federal stimulus programs, not touching entitlements and expanded federal roles in such things as daycare.
These next few years will be difficult for small government conservatives. There just may not be a role for them in the American political spectrum anymore.
Maybe after the crash.
“Women ought to be incentivized to stay home and raise their children.”
If that’s the goal why stop at 6 weeks, let’s incentivize them to stay home until their child is 18. 18 year maternity leave paid by business, very “pro-family”, right?
Oh wait, we already do that, it’s called welfare. And it didn’t work out too well.
Government social engineering always inevitably ends in disaster.
The EITC is rife with fraud, and is basically welfare...re-think this part Mr. Trump:
“The plan will offer child care spending rebates to lower-income taxpayers through the existing Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). This could mean almost $1,200 per year per eligible family.”

Proposed to garner support from women, eh?
Let me get this straight - stopping and even reversing the illegal invasion, setting the stage for an economic boom unseen in 30 years, taking care of our vets, putting an end to perpetual and senseless wars, respecting the Constitution and rule of law (for once) - is not good enough for these womyn to pull the lever for Trump?
If the prospect of saving this country from becoming another third world cesspool is not enough to secure their vote, we need a better caliber of woman in this country. Or repeal the 19th.
I haven’t heard one thing about SS. But the elderly here in Appalachia really have been hurt (like those in inner cities) by no “raise”.
I really do have faith that Trump will address the issue in time. First things first - I keep telling myself
Time to cut AMT to nothing for these same working parents. My wife and I get clipped big time for AMT such that we can’t even end up with a deduction for our kids and can’t even afford a nanny.
And 17th.
“Might help Trump win but it would never pass a Republican controlled Congress.”
No disrespect meant for you, NKP, but when was the last time a Republican controlled Congress did the right thing for America?
And worse, they’re not even ashamed of their lack of performance either.
“In the grand scheme, its fairly low cost and isnt some massive government handout.”
When was the last ‘fairly low cost’ government handout not eventually turned into an out of control, massively expensive entitlement?
If it encourages working families to have children then I’m not against it at all. The birth rate is too low. This is a limited program by definition.
I understand your skepticism. Of course Congress can always expand such programs. That said, right now Trump needs to steal voters that are on the Dem fringe but like such a proposal. There’s too much on the line to be worried about such a proposal. The fact that I immediately saw liberal heads exploding was a sign this might have exactly the impact they’re going for.
I agree that child care is not affordanle, but I am concerned that once the child care centers realize that this is guaranteed money, prices will further increase a la health care. Without massive deregulation, this is bound to happen.
“...right now Trump needs to steal voters that are on the Dem fringe but like such a proposal. Theres too much on the line to be worried about such a proposal.”
I agree 100%. Too much at stake - maybe I shouldn’t have even mentioned it.
They’re always talking about how social security is going to go broke, but they NEVER say WELFARE is going broke.
There seems to always be enough money to hand out to people that won’t work or pay taxes.
My dad paid into Social Security for well over 46 years....Much of that time he paid double..as he was self-employed.
Well..as things happen he died at the age of 64. Never got one SS check...but you would have him labeled a "taker"..if he had lived another 20 years...collecting a SS check???
DO I HAVE THIS CORRECT?????
