Common Sense Policies 10-1-24

Replacing war with total economic isolation is brilliant and will save $trillions in what would have been future wars. It will be the centerpiece of Trumps Presidency. 

The Abraham Accords is the most effective way to end problems in the Middle East. The Muslim Countries need to moderate their policies in order to expand their economies. Expanding local leadership with responsible countries like Saudi Arabia creates a model for other regions to copy. Responsible countries in Africa and South America have a vested interest in stabilizing neighboring countries.

 Trump’s plan to increase production of US Oil and Natural Gas will lower the cost of energy and reduce revenue in Iran and Russia. This reduces their ability to fund the wars in Israel and Ukraine. Lower Oil prices will benefit all countries and lower their transportation costs. Lower Natural Gas prices will benefit all countries and lower their heating costs, electrical power costs and nitrogen-based fertilizer costs.

Trump’s plan to stop and reverse illegal immigration in the US will restore the rule of law in Immigration Control. Deporting Illegal Criminals will reduce US crime and re-stabilize communities in the US. Trump will finish the border wall and end entry to the US by illegal migrants. Trump will end Sanctuary Cities, Counties and States and stabilize local government budgets.

Trump’s plan to make his 2017 tax cuts permanent will lock in the rates. Trump’s plan to reduce taxes further will increase revenue, Lowering the Corporate Tax from 21% to 15% will make US Companies more competitive and allow re-shoring of US manufacturing from China to the US.

Trump’s plan to end the EV mandate and EPA attacks on Natural Gas will secure US Consumers’ rights to buy what they want. Trump will need to re-state 1000 Natural Gas Electric Power Plants to stabilize the US electric grid.  Trump will allow Oil and Natural Gas drilling on US Federal Land including Anwar and finish building the Pipelines for safe transport of Oil and Natural Gas. Trump will export US LNG to allies to reduce the US Trace Deficit and increase US jobs.

Trump’s plan to remove unnecessary regulations for Oil and Gas drilling, Construction and Manufacturing  and will lower production costs. This will allow companies to offer lower prices and allow the US to return to Affordability.

Trump’s plan to restore the US Private Sector Economy recognizes the economic realities we are facing and offers solutions that work.

Motivation 10-1-24

Maslow provided his Hierarchy of Needs

Self-Actualization: morality, creativity, spontaneity, acceptance, experience purpose, meaning and inner potential

Self Esteem: confidence achievement, respect of others, the need to be a unique individual, Love and Belonging: friendship, family, intimacy, sense of connection

Safety and Security: health, employment, property, family, social ability

Physiological: air, food, water, shelter clothing sleep 

There are several stops we are invited to take to rise in Maslow’s model:             

Our first adventure is to become economically self-sufficient to provide our own food, shelter and clothing.

We choose occupations and find employment and social ability.

We gain confidence through achievement, start families and buy homes.

We accept ourselves as we are, appreciate what we’ve accomplished and are grateful.

We will be happier if we know what we want to accomplish, we are good at it and enjoy it. SIMA System for Identifying Motivated Abilities identifies our motivated abilities.

The Personality Styles Test identifies our priorities. Maslow’s Self-Actualization includes meaning and purpose.

I was motivated by Achievement. I wasn’t interested in Power or Status. I was not interested in money, because the US Income Taxes were too high until the 1980s.  I did live up to Family examples, I enjoyed learning, I liked hands-on work, I had curiosity and talent, I always prayed for wisdom.
