Former President Donald Trump laid out his economic policies and vision for the country at a rally in North Carolina on Wednesday, promising to keep intact the Affordable Care Act, Social Security and Medicare .
“A lot of people are very devastated by what’s happened with inflation,” Trump said in Asheville. “I gave Harris and Biden an economic miracle and they quickly turned it into an economic nightmare.”
*** Trump discussed his plans for “No Tax on Tips” and “No Tax on Social Security,” calling out Harris – who vists the state on Friday – for announcing a similar no tax on tip plan after Trump.
“To help seniors on fixed incomes who are suffering the ravages of inflation, there will be no tax on Social Security,” Trump said. “With this vote, I will end this injustice.”
Lower health care costs are also in his economic agenda.
Trump promised that, if he is reelected, he will return the country to an “economic boom.”
“From the day I take the oath of office, we will rapidly drive prices down and make America affordable again,” Trump said. “Harris price hikes have cost the typical household $28,000.”
*** Trump promised that his administration will make it a priority to lower inflation.
“On my first day back in the Oval Office, I will sign an executive order directing every Cabinet secretary and agency head to use every tool and authority at their disposal to defeat inflation and bring consumer prices rapidly down,” Trump said. “I will instruct my Cabinet that I expect results within the first 100 days, or much sooner.”

Some medical proposals from my profile page:
DRUG APPROVAL
Drugs approved by the European Union/Health Canada would be deemed eligible for import, sale and use in the USA six/eighteen months after such approval unless Congress acts otherwise.
NEW DRUG PLANS
Federal PPACA exchanges would offer Interstate Class Drug Plans,
exempt from state control, that to be fully federally subsidy eligible must cover at least:
1. 80% of all recombinant drugs by key active entity
(or 100% less the percentages held by the top three domestic rights holders by percentage),
2. 80% of all FDA breakthrough drugs by key active entity
(or 100% less the percentages held by the top three domestic rights holders by percentage),
3. 80% of all drugs covered by a key active entity patent
(or 100% less the percentages held by the top three domestic rights holders by percentage),
4. 90% of all WHO “essential” drugs
Any percentage shortfalls would result in twice the percentage reduction in the federal subsidy amount and must have the word ‘Deficient’ in the drug plan name to be at all federal subsidy eligible.
This system would allow for genuine negotiation between drug plans and drug companies. Drug plans would have an incentive to try to buy drugs from drug companies and drug companies would have an incentive to make deals to make sales.
All drugs would be supplied at on an all-the doctors prescribe basis. The co-pays would be roughly equal to mere manufacturing cost.
The baseline federal drug subsidy would be the average policy holder age (as of the beginning of the policy period) divided by 3 taken as a percent of PPACA baseline subsidy amount for the PPACA household.
EXAMPLE A: For a PPACA household with a 34-year-old, a 36-year-old, and a two-year-old, the baseline federal drug subsidy would be 8% ((34+36+2)/(3*3))% of the PPACA household’s baseline subsidy amount.
EXAMPLE B: For a single PPACA policy of age 60, the baseline federal drug subsidy would be 20% (60/3)% of the PPACA household’s baseline subsidy amount.
A&B Medical Service Plans
A&B Medical Service Plans would have the same medical service coverage as Medicare Parts A & B. They would not have built-in drug coverage that Medicare Part B currently has. They would be PPACA subsidy eligible up to the PPACA baseline subsidy amount for the PPACA household less the household’s federal drug subsidy.
A&B Medical Service Plan coverage providers would have to continue to offer PPACA coverage plans unless the provider’s PPACA plan(s) would have less than 10,000 subscribers in total.
A&B Medical Service Plans would have to keep their funds in federally regulated financial institutions.

I could replace Social Security, Medicare, private pensions and 401k accounts with one unified program, here’s how.
When a child is born who has at least one parent who is a citizen and the workers other is here legally (No anchor babies) the Social Security administration opens that child a mutual fund account linked to the S&P 500. T he account cannot be accessed for 65 years. It will is not transferable and when the permit dies any remaining funds are returned to the government.
Over The last 125 to 150 years the stock market has averaged 11% percent return a year. Assume 9%, compounding annually and everyone would retire with over 15 million dollars, or 30 million per couple
I would wager the government loses more than $50000 on every person right now so over time this would save money. Simply run the current program until the current users die off.
This gives people an incentive to elect governments that pursue non inflationary and nonrecessionary policies

“I’m still waiting for Trump’s “beautiful” plan to replace Obamacare.”
John McCain proposed putting those unable to obtain private coverage on Medicaid.
The money was so worthless it wasn't even worth using as toilet paper:
The account starts with 50k
They were the punchline to this great joke:
Who wears six shoes and a bra?
Peter, Paul and Mary.
Peter Yarrow of the group was convicted of child molestation. After being pardoned by Jimmy Carter he committed further crimes not uncovered for years.
“In the February 2021 lawsuit complaint in Manhattan Superior Court obtained by Fox News, Yarrow is accused of sexual abuse of a child, negligence, assault, battery, negligent infliction of emotional distress, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.”
“Barbara Winter was the 14-year-old girl who Yarrow admitted to molesting in 1969. He was convicted and served less than three months in jail for the crime, only for him to later be pardoned by Carter in 1981.
Her sister led a local fan club for the group and the 14 year old was invited alone into Yarrow’s hotel room.
Winter stated Yarrow made her masturbate him until he ejaculated.
Winter, speaking out about his pardon in an interview with the Washington Post this week, said it felt as if she “got sucker-punched in the gut.”
“It’s telling him, ‘It’s OK what you did, just don’t get caught next time,’ if that makes sense,” she continued.”
“It happened when I was just an innocent child. I didn’t know anything,” Winter now claims. “I was just a little girl that liked to play with her friends.”
She alleged Yarrow informed her “not to tell anybody” except a priest in confession. She says she was a Catholic at the time.
Yarrow pleaded guilty to taking “immoral and improper liberties” with a child. He was convicted to one to three years in prison but served just a little under three months.
Trump today said he doesn't want to replace Obamacare, he wants to keep it as-is.
“The last 125 to 150 years the stock market has averaged 11% percent return a year. Assume 9%, compounding annually and everyone would retire with over 15 million dollars, or 30 million per couple”
Let’s Go!
$500 billion in lieu of FICA and SE tax
Name $500 billion in undervalued stocks available for purchase!
Got to do it every year too.
It would not be rational to put make the incomes of 40 million people highly dependent on the income of a couple hundred corporations, many of which are multi-nationals subject to the caprices of Communist Chinese and EU governments.
On a far smaller scale, state and local governments have not fully funded pensions for teachers and police officers.
My former neighbor taught public school for 42 years. I doubt that she has 15 million dollars headed her way.
I wish someone would vow to protect our rights like a junkyard dog.
..... Sayeth the Almighty Democrat Communist New World Order Consortium ......
.
When he was president he had a much better plan than Obamacare but he wouldn’t tell anyone what it was. I wonder what happened to that plan?
America is fiscally and morally bankrupt. The end approaches rapidly.
Thomas Sowell said it best when idiots say, “what will you replace Obamacare with?”
To which he replied, “that’s like asking a doctor with what will he replace a cancerous tumor cut out of your body. You don’t replace a tumor with anything. You get rid of it.”
Sowell is a genius. He is under appreciated.
Repeal it. Let people decide for themselves their healthcare
