You can’t bring jobs back home with Ivanka’s proposals

Some of us had hoped that after eight years of Obama – preceded by years of RINO’s like the Bush family and Democrat Bill Clinton –  with a resulting unimaginable national debt of $20 trillion and a stagnating economy, that finally, this year, we could follow the trail of breadcrumbs back to our original concept of government – a small, very limited central government and federalism. But, that is unlikely with the Republican nominee with which we were saddled by the delegates in Cleveland.

As most of us who observe these things objectively predicted: Donald Trump (as the nominee) lurches far to the left of Trump (the guy-who-needs-the-Right-to-get-the-nomination). It should come as no surprise that the man who donated heavily to “it takes a village” Hillary the day before he became an “anti-Establishment” Republican should, once his nomination was secure, shed his sheep’s clothing and come out of his closet fully dressed in his left-wing nanny state uniform. I’m talking about his recent proposal for 6 weeks of paid maternity leave for employees, mandated by – guess who? – Uncle Sam.

There is so much wrong with this idea that it’s hard to know where to begin. It is unthinkable to mandate that a Main Street shop provide 6 weeks of pay and benefits to an employee at home caring for a newborn. Of course, this is a valueless play for votes from the immature “take care of me” voters. Valueless because Hillary can now pooh-pooh this and demand 12 weeks of pay and benefits instead of a skimpy 6 weeks. And why not paternity leave, as well? Let dads bond with the kids, too. So this is no big winner for Trump, and it certainly strips away the disguise of Trump as anything but a big-government Democrat.

Of course, let’s give credit where due. The mastermind of this scheme is apparently daughter, Ivanka – another New York Democrat of the liberal wing, as you recall, unable to cast her vote for daddy because she’s still registered as such in New York. Not far behind this was Ivanka’s proposal for federally-funded day care improvements. Because we can’t have these mothers who got paid maternity leave taking responsibility for their own kids. And as taxpayers we should all be happy to take care of them.

Timing is everything, of course. And this charming young thing came up with this can’t-wait pair of programs the same week that all the news outlets and commentators were a-buzz with Hillary’s health crisis, which meant that suddenly her health had to go to the bottom of the news page while we digest yet another egregious faux pas of Trump’s, and his right-hand Democrat daughter’s. It also brings into focus Trump’s history of poor treatment of employees – particularly his illegal immigrant employees.

 Trump's gravitation back to the center left once he secured the nomination should not be surprising to anybody who was willing to go and look beyond his rhetoric during the primary season

 What has been disturbing is people, who normally would oppose this,  defending this along with his promise to outspend Hillary on things like infrastructure spending.  How can anyone have any confidence in a candidate's claim to save the country when  many of his  economic and fiscal policies are not much different than that of his opponent ?

This sounds similar to the leftist claim of the reason why socialism never worked because the right people were never in charge

Not only not surprising, but was predicted by those of us that opposed Trump all along.  We predicted that his 'true colors' would come out as the campaign "progressed".

Those defending Trump's leftist policies are either blinded by his special brand of kool aid (that yucky orange stuff)...or they're really Democrats to the core (Trumpocrats).  Either way, they are against anything conservative, which explains their vitriolic hatred of Ted Cruz.

Well of course.  It's the only excuse the leftists have for their constant and ongoing failure.

And I'm sure that Hillary thanks The Don (and his family)....for yet another well-timed proclamation that distracts from the latest Hillary scandal or news buzz.  Almost like it's intentional.

Those that have defended Trump's new entitlement proposal here and elsewhere  may not be  leftists.

However, in their defensive of this, along with Trump's desire to spend more and his rhetoric regarding health care, they have adopted leftist talking points

No. They're Leftists. You cannot come out with full throated endorsements of a candidate selling Big Govt' across the board and claim you are anything less.

and his idea of expanding Medicaid to the middle class is just a step toward nationalization.

That will be more than a step. That will have most of the country on govt' health care.

@Frank Cannon

Normally, they would be opposing Trump's proposals if they came out of the mouth of Hillary or BHO.

See my tag line? That's my philosophy regardless of the party label.

The idea that one would hold Trump's feet to the fire when it comes to the size and scope of the federal government  if elected would fail.

@geronl

Trump does and always has favored universal healthcare. If memory serves, he was the only one in the GOP primary who gave a shout out to Canada's Healthcare system, said in an interview when it comes to healthcare, " the government will pay," used left wing talking points when it came to healthcare,and has stated he likes the Obamacare mandate.

Yet we are told he will repeal Obamacare by his supporters. He won't. He will try to "improve" it

You bring jobs back home with a much lighter tax and regulatory burden. Increasing costs and social demands on business will only push more out of the country.

Punitive tariffs won't work, either
