US Economic Recovery

By the end of the Obama Administration in 2016, the US economy was in the toilet and was about to be flushed with a promised 500% increase in electric bills, annual 30% increases in healthcare and education costs and regulations that drove away manufacturing, oil production, mining and agriculture. We were left with a minimum wage, fast food economy.

We had already allowed 60 million welfare immigrants into the US and the cost was $384 billion a year. The immigrants had taken all the minimum wage jobs from our teenagers and college grads had no salaried jobs to go to. Obama had doubled the National Debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion.

The US federal government was over-subsidizing healthcare and education, making costs rise exponentially. The federal government owned 30% of the land mass and allowed 7 million acres of forests to be lost every year in forest fires. The federal government owned the lending industry for mortgages with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and student loans with Sallie Mae.

Government was incentivizing suicidal programs like public transit and letting roads, highways and bridges crumble along with sewers and water supply infrastructure. The federal government was closing coal mines and refusing to allow oil production, mining and forestry.

It is time to privatize everything government has ruined and has no legal authority to control. The federal government needs to give the land it seized back to the States and the States need to sell this land to the private sector to end the forest fires. US forest land must be sold to private sector tree farmers. US pasture land must be sold to ranchers and farmers. States should shrink and operate all “national parks”.

Trump is moving the US economy to recover from decades of stupidity and neglect. We need to repeal Obamacare. We need to build the border wall and replace our Immigration Laws based on merit and need. We need to end welfare for immigrants and send the refugees home.
