I said BETTER plans. That's a great plan if you want NEGATIVE double-digit growth. All those trillions in printed money spending are being pumped up into the economy and propping up the growth numbers. None of that forces the multibillionaires who control everything we say and do to share the stockpiles of wealth they already have.
You know what I want? A steady income that affords me a modest house, a wife and a child I can raise in peace. Most of that's out of reach to me and too many others.

It ain't like people can choose to buy American and build American, because there ain't any here. Industry cannot just pop up in a few months. It takes years. So people are forced to pay the tariff. and that inevitably will slow things down, one way or the other.

Then we are no longer a free country. Why don't we have onshore sources for our necessities? What do we have to do to get them? It's a must if we are going to call ourselves a sovereign nation but can't rely on ourselves for survival.
You might as well hang the American flag upside down because a country that cannot care for itself is no country at all.

That may well be true - But the current plan does nothing to fix it. Nothing. Noticing that we don't make things here anymore is TRUE, and that it needs to be fixed is TRUE. But that flat ain't gonna happen in four short years. It will take movement across decades to fix it.
That's why the populist superhero will do next to nothing. What will fix it is a pissed off Congress with it's head turned toward it's power.
What will fix it is iron-fisted control over this fiat money system, burning off the extra money that's been printed a little at a time, in what will be a long term down market as it burns off... The other option is to keep going the way we are until the whole damn thing crashes.
What will fix it is deregulation and incentive, honoring those who make things, and paving the way toward the risks that makers are willing to take... And away from protecting the worker. If there is not risk, there is not profit. If there is no profit, there are no jobs. You can't keep beating makers like a 2 dollar mule.
And more than anything, that means small government, and smaller government, and even yet smaller government until it is affordable.
ALL that needs to be drilled into generations of our children if any fix will apply. Generations need to vote Conservatively,and reject Liberalism. Or all is already lost.
