    Remove regulation for housing construction

    Does this help or worsen the already problem of s***ty fast built homes?

    On the outside it appears like it would help the housing crisis by lowering the barrier of entry

    With s***ty booty Republican scum of the earth, the caveat is most likely hundreds of entities like Black Rock continuing to buy land, buy real estate, and use the ease of restrictions to price gouge us harder

    @op @OnceAgain @999Wrld @krishna_bound - or anyone that can - would you be able to explain all this tariff stuff to me and why it's being pushed so hard right now

    Ok

    A tariff is essentially a tax. They were used heavily in the 1700s and 1800s before we had income tax. A bunch of people have said look at Brazil for an example of tariffs in action. An iPhone is $1500-$2000. You buy an iPhone in the US for $1099, sell it in Brazil, you get $1099 and the government pockets $900

    Tariffs can also lead to retaliatory tariffs and trade wars. If one country slaps a tariff on something like solar panels or washing machines, the other country might respond with tariffs on things like soybeans, then years of trade discussions and negotiations. Companies will move factories to different countries to get around the tariffs. They have a ripple effect on the economy

    The reason Trump is pushing them so heavily (and he’s pretty much the only one pushing for them) is because of people's reaction to free trade. The function of tariffs nowadays is to discourage people from importing foreign goods, which helps out the businesses making the same kind of goods in your own country by reducing competition. Harley Davidson is an example of a business that is kept alive because of this. People viscerally hate free trade deals like NAFTA because they see it as hurting American jobs and industries even though everyone likes cheap and abundant goods

    Even the biggest conservatives agree that tariffs will make business pass higher costs on to consumers

    There is a possibility that Trump is lying about applying tariffs across the board, and he could be using the threat of a tariff war as leverage to negotiate w countries to buy more American products

    However if the tariffs are real they will 100% raise prices which ironically will make everybody even more pissed off

    “ Revoke the student visas of radical anti-American and antisemitic foreigners at colleges and universities”

    A student got kicked off campus and is on suspension for going to a protest who was targeted by police

    Beating the f*** out of students all year by Biden really lost him many votes who will no longer go out

    Here I am saying the same thing I am today and they still not using it

    “Make it a felony for any medical professional to perform surgery on a minor without parental consent”

    Kind of confused on how best to honor someone’s request to transition without also transitioning too soon or without proper information
    But I’m non binary and have been since young I guess if someone knows they know but they are going based on made up concepts

    Legal age to transition kind of needs to be established

    I still feel this way and I am very pro trans however the determination of when to block puberty needs to be had in a non emotional room where people can genuinely discuss

    Trump/Vance Agenda


    Tax Plan

    The next president will reshape tax policy after Trump's 2017 tax law expires in 2025.

    • Restore the state and local tax deduction (SALT)

    • Lower corporate tax rate to 15% “for companies that make their products in America”

    • Eliminate tax on tips

    • Eliminate tax on pay for overtime work

    • Eliminate tax on social security

    • Maybe eliminate federal income tax and payroll tax(?)

    • Make interest paid on car loans tax-deductible, like the deduction for mortgage interest


    Economy

    The U.S. economy is the strongest in the world following the pandemic, however many Americans continue to express concerns about inflation and rising living costs. Unemployment rates are relatively low, indicating a tight labor market, but concerns about potential economic slowdown loom due to rising interest rates aimed at curbing inflation. Although the inflation rate has eased from its peak, it remains above pre-pandemic levels, influencing consumer spending and business investment. For many, grocery bills are a major concern, with staples like eggs and dairy still costing significantly more than a couple of years ago. Overall, while wage growth has helped some keep pace, many families are tightening their belts and feeling the pinch as they navigate these persistent economic pressures.

    • Cap credit card interest rates at 10%

    • Across the board tariff of 10% to 20% on all imports

    • Up to 60% tariff on imports from China

    • Impose tariffs on companies that move manufacturing from the US to another country

    • Impose a reciprocal tariff on any country that imposed one on the US

    • Boost oil and gas production by allowing for more drilling and reducing regulations

    • Rescind unspent funds under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act


    Plan to Combat the Housing Crisis

    The state of housing in the U.S. remains challenging for many potential buyers. High mortgage rates and elevated home prices have made it difficult for the average person to enter the market. Inventory is limited, driving competition and prices even higher. While some areas may offer more affordable options, overall, rising costs combined with inflation have created significant barriers to homeownership for many families. Over 22 million renter households—almost half of all renters—are cost-burdened, spending over 30% of their income on rent. The number of severely cost-burdened households, spending 50% or more, has grown by 1.5 million since 2019, now exceeding 12 million.

    • Remove regulation for housing construction

    • Open up federal lands for large-scale housing construction

    • End veteran homelessness

    • Ban China from buying land in the US

    • Ban undocumented immigrants from obtaining mortgages


    Climate

    Trump called climate change “one of the greatest scams of all time” last month. If re-elected, Trump will most likely spend much of his second term undoing much of President Biden’s climate policy.

    • Pull out of the Paris Climate Accord (again)

    • Roll back Biden’s electric vehicle policies and subsidies 👉 “Biden is spending billions and billions of taxpayer dollars subsidizing electric cars for rich people while normal Americans can’t afford to use one, nor do they even want to... I saved the American auto industry once and now I will save it again.”

    • Overturn Biden’s pause on building new liquefied natural gas terminals that are not already operating or permitted

    • Bring “water in California at a level that you've never seen before.”


    Healthcare

    “The next president and Congress will have the power to put their mark on major health care programs like Medicare and Medicaid that combined cover nearly 150 million Americans. They’ll be able to direct resources for how the United States fights the d*** overdose crisis and how the country prepares for the next pandemic.

    “A recent survey found that two-thirds of Americans say health care should be receiving more attention in the presidential campaign, and there are several crucial health policy choices the next president is likely to face in their first year.” — NPR

    • Repeal Biden’s 2022 law giving Medicare the power to directly negotiate the prices of some prescription d****, before it goes into effect in 2026

    • Tax credit for family caregivers

    • Call for the FDA to withdraw its approval of mifepristone, an abortion medication

    • Make it a felony for any medical professional to perform surgery on a minor without parental consent


    Education
    • Abolish the Education Department

    • Abolish tenure for teachers of grades K-12

    • Stop funding colleges “that engage in censorship”

    • “On Day 1, I will sign a new executive order to cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, transgender insanity and other inappropriate racial, sexual or political content onto our children. And I will not give one penny to any school that has a vaccine mandate or a mask mandate. I will keep men out of women’s sports, 100%.”

    • Provide $10,000 per child tax-free to home-schoolers


    Immigrationhttps://twitter.com/TeamTrump/status/1714049524329492841
    • Restore the 2017 Travel Ban on Day 1

    • Re-impose pandemic-era restrictions on asylum seekers

    • Launch “the largest deportation effort in American history”

    • End birthright citizenship

    • Suspend the refugee resettlement program

    • Revoke the student visas of radical anti-American and antisemitic foreigners at colleges and universities

    • Revoke the Temporary Protected Status of Haitians in Springfield, Ohio

    • Make it illegal to distribute welfare benefits to immigrants in the U.S. illegally

    • Terminate work permits for immigrants in the U.S. illegally

    • Terminate the Customs and Border Protection’s CBP One app

    • Hire 10,000 new Customs and Border Patrol agents, increase wage by 10% for agents, offer $10,000 retention and signing bonuses

    • Finish the southern border wall


    Civil Liberties

    A Trump re-election could heighten concerns about civil liberties. Critics worry about potential erosions of democratic norms, increased political polarization, and policies that prioritize loyalty over accountability. Furthermore, institutions like the FBI and the Department of Justice may face pressure to align more closely with political objectives, compromising their independence and effectiveness.

    • Pardon January 6 protestors

    • Elections: Require proof of citizenship at the polls, require voter ID at the polls, require only paper ballots, count all votes on election night

    • Overturn Biden policies affecting gun owners and manufacturers

    • Expand concealed carry rights

    • Increase liability protections for police officers

    • Sign legislation recognizing only two genders, assigned at birth
