Here Is What Donald Trump Wants To Do In His First 100 Days
--------------------------------...
What follows is my 100-day action plan to Make America Great Again. It is a contract between myself and the American voter — and begins with restoring honesty, accountability and change to Washington
Therefore, on the first day of my term of office, my administration will immediately pursue the following six measures to clean up the corruption and special interest collusion in Washington, DC:
* FIRST, propose a Constitutional Amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress;
* SECOND, a hiring freeze on all federal employees to reduce federal workforce through attrition (exempting military, public safety, and public health);
* THIRD, a requirement that for every new federal regulation, two existing regulations must be eliminated;
* FOURTH, a 5 year-ban on White House and Congressional officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government service;
* FIFTH, a lifetime ban on White House officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government;
* SIXTH, a complete ban on foreign lobbyists raising money for American elections.
On the same day, I will begin taking the following 7 actions to protect American workers:
* FIRST, I will announce my intention to renegotiate NAFTA or withdraw from the deal under Article 2205
* SECOND, I will announce our withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership
* THIRD, I will direct my Secretary of the Treasury to label China a currency manipulator
* FOURTH, I will direct the Secretary of Commerce and U.S. Trade Representative to identify all foreign trading abuses that unfairly impact American workers and direct them to use every tool under American and international law to end those abuses immediately
* FIFTH, I will lift the restrictions on the production of $50 trillion dollars' worth of job-producing American energy reserves, including shale, oil, natural gas and clean coal.
* SIXTH, lift the Obama-Clinton roadblocks and allow vital energy infrastructure projects, like the Keystone Pipeline, to move forward
* SEVENTH, cancel billions in payments to U.N. climate change programs and use the money to fix America's water and environmental infrastructure
Additionally, on the first day, I will take the following five actions to restore security and the constitutional rule of law:
* FIRST, cancel every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum and order issued by President Obama
* SECOND, begin the process of selecting a replacement for Justice Scalia from one of the 20 judges on my list, who will uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States
* THIRD, cancel all federal funding to Sanctuary Cities
* FOURTH, begin removing the more than 2 million criminal illegal immigrants from the country and cancel visas to foreign countries that won't take them back
* FIFTH, suspend immigration from terror-prone regions where vetting cannot safely occur. All vetting of people coming into our country will be considered extreme vetting.
Next, I will work with Congress to introduce the following broader legislative measures and fight for their passage within the first 100 days of my Administration:
Middle Class Tax Relief And Simplification Act. An economic plan designed to grow the economy 4% per year and create at least 25 million new jobs through massive tax reduction and simplification, in combination with trade reform, regulatory relief, and lifting the restrictions on American energy. The largest tax reductions are for the middle class. A middle-class family with 2 children will get a 35% tax cut. The current number of brackets will be reduced from 7 to 3, and tax forms will likewise be greatly simplified. The business rate will be lowered from 35 to 15 percent, and the trillions of dollars of American corporate money overseas can now be brought back at a 10 percent rate.
End The Offshoring Act. Establishes tariffs to discourage companies from laying off their workers in order to relocate in other countries and ship their products back to the U.S. tax-free.
American Energy & Infrastructure Act. Leverages public-private partnerships, and private investments through tax incentives, to spur $1 trillion in infrastructure investment over 10 years. It is revenue neutral.
School Choice And Education Opportunity Act. Redirects education dollars to give parents the right to send their kid to the public, private, charter, magnet, religious or home school of their choice. Ends common core, brings education supervision to local communities. It expands vocational and technical education, and make 2 and 4-year college more affordable.
Repeal and Replace Obamacare Act. Fully repeals Obamacare and replaces it with Health Savings Accounts, the ability to purchase health insurance across state lines, and lets states manage Medicaid funds. Reforms will also include cutting the red tape at the FDA: there are over 4,000 drugs awaiting approval, and we especially want to speed the approval of life-saving medications.
Affordable Childcare and Eldercare Act. Allows Americans to deduct childcare and elder care from their taxes, incentivizes employers to provide on-side childcare services, and creates tax-free Dependent Care Savings Accounts for both young and elderly dependents, with matching contributions for low-income families.
End Illegal Immigration Act Fully-funds the construction of a wall on our southern border with the full understanding that the country Mexico will be reimbursing the United States for the full cost of such wall; establishes a 2-year mandatory minimum federal prison sentence for illegally re-entering the U.S. after a previous deportation, and a 5-year mandatory minimum for illegally re-entering for those with felony convictions, multiple misdemeanor convictions or two or more prior deportations; also reforms visa rules to enhance penalties for overstaying and to ensure open jobs are offered to American workers first.
Restoring Community Safety Act. Reduces surging crime, drugs and violence by creating a Task Force On Violent Crime and increasing funding for programs that train and assist local police; increases resources for federal law enforcement agencies and federal prosecutors to dismantle criminal gangs and put violent offenders behind bars.
Restoring National Security Act. Rebuilds our military by eliminating the defense sequester and expanding military investment; provides Veterans with the ability to receive public VA treatment or attend the private doctor of their choice; protects our vital infrastructure from cyber-attack; establishes new screening procedures for immigration to ensure those who are admitted to our country support our people and our values
Clean up Corruption in Washington Act. Enacts new ethics reforms to Drain the Swamp and reduce the corrupting influence of special interests on our politics.
On November 8th, Americans will be voting for this 100-day plan to restore prosperity to our economy, security to our communities, and honesty to our government.
This is my pledge to you.
And if we follow these steps, we will once more have a government of, by and for the people.
- Wow love it. Lets see how many he goes through with though. Especially the ones that end political corruption_niko
- Except the wall bit that's silly_niko
- he never meant an 'actual' wall, it was only a metaphor.Gnash
- I took it seriously until "Obamacare" which is an unofficial slang name for Affordable Care Act.mg33
- Does anyone know the upfront cost of the wall outlined here?R_Kercz
- The wall isn't a metaphor to trump.monospaced
- Oh fucking hell! Fuck your keystone pipeline.pango
- (oh I know, but I can see trump changing his story about the wall)Gnash
- Lol, great stuff in there. Term limits, limits lobby work outside office. This cuts Clinton family income.robotron3k
- Hey, he said he was bringing back Prima Nocta, but it's not on this listGnash
- It's naive to think he's going to follow through with this anti-corruption stuff. Especially term limits which requires a Constitutional amendment.yuekit
- So the very first item is something that he can't accomplish on his own, requires a Constitutional convention ratified by 2/3 of the states.yuekit
- ^ to be fair, he said "propose'Gnash
- Right but many supporters probably don't understand how remote a chance it has of actually happening. Why was that the number one item?yuekit
- It's questionable whether term limits is even a good idea. That would kick out people like Bernie Sanders for instance.yuekit
- Yea but it will kick out people like Ted Cruz tooOP31
- What we really need is publicly funded elections. Get money out of politics. Right now they spent all their time fundraising and corporations control what getsyuekit
- passed and what doesn't.yuekit
- how do you protect american jobs when technology and automation is rising at an exponential rate thereby rendering the worker obsolete?dorf

Richard Rorty quotes from around 1997.
- ah yes, the peasants will revolt, bit of a self fulfilling prophesy********
- /\ Not correct.ben_
- Care to elaborate?********
- Sure, the peasants revolted by force, not by choosing a new king who just fucked them in a different way.ben_
- The commentary is on the hopelessness and cyclical nature of "change", not on the downfall of government.ben_
- more like the cynical nature of people observing the failures of partisan politics, trump for strongman dictator 2020********

Donald Trump's presidency could leave consumers on their own
Now President-elect Donald Trump had said he wants to repeal the Dodd-Frank Act, dismantling the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in the process
Established under the Obama administration through the Dodd-Frank Act in response to the financial crisis of 2008, the CFPB has served as the sheepdog guarding American flocks from a seemingly-endless population of predatory wolves, addressing consumer issues that lax regulation or negligence had left flapping in the wind. Its mission, in part, is to “protect consumers from unfair, deceptive, or abusive practices and take action against companies that break the law.”
- dodd-frank doesn't work for its intended purpose. it seems to be a bully pit and helped large banks grow by pushing out small banks.********
- plus i believe gov doesn't need to protect people from their own dumb decisions on debt. experience is the name we give to our mistakes. better than teaching********
- dependence on some gov god that looks out for u. come on people choose to be responsible for your actions********
- You're right, people need to look out for themselves. specially now. on the other hand the companies should be accountable if caught for fraud.sofakingback
- if the banks fell, shouldn't all the debt they hold against americans fall along with it?********
- a judicial system to challenge fraud is a good thing. im just very cautious of what people might try to call fraud. many times its ignorance********
- ie. fraud in false hopes futures with private schools vs public schools. is false hopes fraud or advertising? or is it merely protectionsim********
- fraud in fake universities maybe?monospaced
- georgetown class - philosophy and startrek
princeton class - getting dressed
is it fraud or personal choice if u choose poorly******** - let's let the law decidemonospaced
- by law its ok. 0 coercion, and advertising matches the entire competition, but if found at fault than bring them all down, dont hate on the for profit minorites********
- dodd-frank doesn't work for its intended purpose. it seems to be a bully pit and helped large banks grow by pushing out small banks.
