Trump: The First 100 Days

*Term limits would be a good idea; I agree w/others that have mentioned 12 years.
*The removal of two Fed. regs. for every new one added; I;ve held this position to thirty years.
*Lobbying restrictions just seem obvious to me.
*Trade restrictions are tricky territory. I can see the positive effect in theory; however I believe there would be much pain between now and then.
*Lifting restriction/roadblocks on domestic energy production…again sounds good but I’m not convinced we can compete without price increases at home…perhaps the trade off would be worth it.
*I’m fine with withdrawing/reducing UN payments all together.
*Trump’s plan to rebuild infrastructure appears to lead to private ownership of roads, bridges, water works, etc.; I’m not a fan of that.
*Illegal immigration…I’ve got a wait and see attitude here. If he includes serious penalties for employers, I believe it can be effective.

  • Taxes…I’ve ran the numbers; a 35% reduction is an exaggeration, but I’m all for reducing taxes.
  • Health Insurance, I’m not a fan of the ACA, however I’m of the opinion that the insurance/healthcare industry is out of control. The current model is not patient oriented. I don’t have the answer.
    *Draining The Swamp: Great idea…based on the rumors of his Cabinet positions it doesn’t appear to be a priority.
