Trump Must Make America the 80s Again
Kurt Schlichter


The Trump 2.0 administration is coming in like gangbusters with a bunch of good appointments, plus Kristi Noem – I only hope she treats the ridiculous Department of Homeland Security like she treated her uppity puppy – but 47 needs to focus on one key thing. It’s the one thing that makes everything else work. It’s the centerpiece, the keystone if you will – and why he won the Keystone State.

He must fix the economy. He must make it work for the members of the unprecedented coalition that came together to elect him. Yeah, they were tired of woke nonsense, tired of being abused, and tired of seeing America pushed around, but mostly, they were tired of seven-dollar butter. Everything else depends on him fixing the economy. If President Trump doesn’t get that right, he fails.

We basically need to reboot the 1980s.

That’s not to say that other issues aren’t important. He must keep those promises, too. But fixing the other problems is necessary, not sufficient. If Trump comes and fixes the border but allows the economy to tank, he’s going lose the midterms and then the 2028 election and, pretty soon, the people who want to chop your kids’ genitals off to conform to the delusions of local wine women are going to be in charge again.

Mid 1990s were better ... America was the world's only superpower; economy was proserous; productivity was increasing; GDP was increasing; fiscal sanity was taking hold in DC; the rising tide was lifting all boats ... good times, good time to be in 20's and 30's ... reaping the rewards of Reagan's Peace Dividend

As I recall, the interest rates in the 80s were astronomical. Good for savers, but horrible for borrowers.

IIRC Ronald Reagan inherited those high interest rates from JIMMUH CAAATER.

"Seether" was the singer of VS singing about her own temper, good song.

My parents still talk about double digit interest rates, which is pretty scary. We've had ZIRP for too long.

I can't disagree.
