US Recovery Timeline 1-30-25

The successful implementation of the Trump Agenda is needed to restore the US economy. Removal of Federal Regulations will accelerate recovery.  

Federal Cabinet appointments are being confirmed at the rate of 6 per week. There are 40 cabinet-level and top Federal Department appointees to be confirmed. The goal is to confirm 12 cabinet-level Appointees per week. The confirmation rate needs to be accelerated to fill these jobs in February 2025. Democrats are attempting to delay the confirmation process.  The US Senate has confirmed: Marco Rubio – State Dept, John Ratcliffe – CIA, Kristi Noem-Homeland Security, Pete Hegseth – DOD, Scott Bessent-Treasury, Sean Duffy – Transportation.

Pam Bondi is expected to be confirmed as Attorney General on this week.

The U.S. process for confirming a cabinet takes longer than almost all other countries. The US Senate takes 61 days to approve Presidential Appointees. S. Korea takes 96 days to approve Cabinet Appointees.

In 2024, the US federal government is projected to spend $1.67 trillion on Medicare, Medicaid, and ACA subsidies for insurance companies. This is more than the entire discretionary budget. 

The Federal Budget CR Bill passage is expected to be approved by May 2025. This Budget should include lowering the Corporate Tax from 21% to 15%. This should allow US manufacturing jobs to grow. This CR should also include a 20% increase in the IRS Standard Exemption for 2024 to adjust for the Biden cumulative Inflation, but it doesn’t.

Federal Spending reductions are driven by DOGE recommendations. Federal Employee resignations, layoffs and the hiring freeze should lower the cost and lower the $1 trillion annual federal debt interest cost. Automating federal work will require funding to upgrade federal computer systems and data bases.

Federal Court Appointments: Federal Prosecutors in Court Districts throughout the US will be asked for their resignations. Some of these Prosecutors might be reappointed, but many will be replaced.

Ending NGO funding for Illegal Migrants should accelerate the deportation of all Illegal Migrants.

US jobs should increase as Illegals are deported. 65% of Illegals are employed in the US. If 10 million Illegals are employed in the US, they are occupying 6.5 million US jobs.  When E-Verify is required, US private sector jobs will become available to US citizens. In December 2024, the US had 1.6 million long-term unemployed. As Illegals are deported and companies are required to hire US citizens, the 1.6 million unemployed could take 25% of these jobs. The remaining 75% or 4.9 million jobs could go to younger workers who actually can speak English.  High School Students could actually retake retail and restaurant part-time and summer jobs. If manufacturing jobs increase in the US, many of those working in retail and restaurants will move to manufacturing. This happened in the 1970s with the integrated circuit at Texas Instrument and Automation. This continued into the1980s with the Electronics, PC and Telecom revolution.
