Your Wish-List For The Trifecta

Post by 93henfan »

Republican POTUS, Republican Congress, and soon again to be conservative majority SCOTUS.

What do you want to see happen?

I'll start:

National reciprocity for concealed carry.

A reduction of federal government, reducing the workforce through natural attrition - no firing the current dedicated hard workers!. :D

Conks in Congress to finally get off their ass and pass a budget....so I guess a balanced budget act/amendment or something requiring an annual budget to be passed and to not exceed X% of GDP.

Term limits for Congress.

Massive reduction in the size of government.

And since none of these will ever happen, may as well throw on an Audit the Fed or Abolish the Fed type of nonsensical/wishful thinking to the list.

I'll be happy if we get a massive infrastructure bill (something Obama should have done 8 years ago instead of just handing out freebees).

Trumps first victory! :clap:
Obama administration suspends Pacific trade deal vote effort
David Lawder, Reuters

WASHINGTON - US President Barack Obama's administration has suspended its efforts to win congressional approval for his Asian free-trade deal before President-elect Donald Trump takes office, saying on Friday that TPP's fate was up to Trump and Republican lawmakers.
Administration officials also said Obama would try to explain the situation to leaders of the 11 other countries in the Trans-Pacific Partnership pact next week when he attends a regional summit in Peru.
Obama's cabinet secretaries and the U.S. Trade Representative's office had been lobbying lawmakers for months to pass the 12-country Trans-Pacific Partnership deal in the post-election, lame-duck session of Congress. However, Trump's stunning election victory that sends him to the White House in January and retains Republican majorities in Congress has stymied those plans.
"We have worked closely with Congress to resolve outstanding issues and are ready to move forward, but this is a legislative process and it's up to congressional leaders as to whether and when this moves forward," USTR spokesman Matt McAlvanah said in a statement.
On Wednesday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he would not take up TPP in the weeks before Trump's inauguration and said its fate was now up to Trump. House Speaker Paul Ryan had earlier said he would not proceed with a lame-duck vote.

It will be an interesting 4 years. No excuses now for the Republicans. Four years is plenty of time to right the ship and make America great again.

Don't fuck it up because it will all be on you now.

Trump endorsing someone for Speaker of the House - whether it's Ryan or a Tea Party candidate. Will speak volumes as to how he plans to govern.

Reduce foreign involvement / investment in defense of other nations. If NATO countries want our military to defend them then they can pay us for it. Use the savings to reinvest in America.

Invest more in forward looking agencies that help push the technological envelope such as NASA, DARPA, etc.

Try and reverse the brain drain of foreign intellectuals that come to the US for college. When they stayed and became US citizens we were essentially recruiting some of the best talent that other countries had to offer.

Try and figure out how to improve education for all without just enriching a bunch of educational consulting companies. Education is the key to giving people hope and opportunity and thus reducing poverty and violence.

Along the lines of the massive reduction in the size of government, combine government agencies with overlapping objectives and their corresponding Congressional committees.

It's not really the government's job but as a nation we need to change the focus of our business leaders away from quarterly results and M&A and back to building great companies.

I can see that being something to go after, but although I lean pro-life, I'm also a realist. I'm not sure we have the infrastructure in place or the science advanced far enough to do away with Roe v Wade. I'm fully on board with abortion being the ending of a human life and for that reason alone we need to do away with abortion, but the difficulty comes in the how to deal with the aftermath of it. Whatever the number of abortions we have today, if they all went to term and a good fraction of the people gave the babies up for adoption, we probably wouldn't have enough adoptive parents for all the newborns. So are we back to a orphanage solution? Who's going to take care of all those babies who will turn into kids? I've never seen the pro-life movement really step up in this regards. The imbalance of pro-lifers protesting and praying out in front of clinics versus those that set up and run institutions to help the expectant mothers during the rest of their labor and then to help the child afterwards (if the mother keeps it or not) is just too tilted towards the protestor and not the people helping. If people truly want Roe v Wade to go away, we need a lot more people to step up and help deal with the consequence of that.
