Ten Great Deals For The Donald
But there is a sliver of hope. If
Donald Trump is elected, eschews a law and order crusade and does not
capitulate to the destructive policies of the Wall Street/Washington/bicoastal
establishment, there is a way forward. The political outlaw who considers
himself to be the world’s greatest deal-maker would need to do just that.
To wit, a President Trump determined to rid the nation of its
mutant regime of Bubble Finance at home and failed interventionism abroad would
need to make Ten Great Deals.
A Peace Deal with Putin for the
dismantlement of NATO, cooperation in the middle east,
strangulation of ISIS by the Shiite Crescent and a comprehensive worldwide
agreement to end the arms trade and pave the way for general disarmament.
A Jobs Deal based on slashing
taxes on business and workers and replacing them with taxes on consumption and
imports.
A Sound Money Deal to repeal
Humphrey-Hawkins, end the Fed’s war on savers and cash, abolish the FOMC and
limit the Fed’s remit to passively providing liquidity at a penalty spread
over market interest rates based on sound commercial collateral.
A Glass-Steagall Deal to break up the giant
financial conglomerates, limit the Fed’s liquidity window to “narrow
banks” which only take deposits and make loans and deny deposit insurance to
any banking institution involved in Wall Street trading, derivatives and other
forms of financial gambling.
A Federalist Deal to turn
back most of Washington’s domestic grant and welfare programs to the states and
localities in return for a mega-block grant with a 30-year phase-out.
A Regulatory Deal based on an
absolute 4-year freeze on every single pending regulation, and then subjecting
every existing statute to strict cost-benefit rules thereafter.
A Liberty Deal to get Washington
out of the war on drugs, criminal law enforcement and regulation of private
conduct and morality.
A Health Care Deal based on
the repeal of Obamacare and tax preferences for employer insurance
plans and their replacement with wide-open provider competition,
consumer choice, and individual health tax credits.
A Fiscal Deal to slash
post-disarmament defense spending, devolve education and other domestic
programs to local government and to clawback unearned social security/medicare
entitlements benefits from the affluent elderly.
And a Governance Deal to
amend the constitution to rescind Citizens United, impose term limits and
establish public finance of all Federal elections.
What follows are the facts and analytics which demonstrates why
America is fast heading toward ruin under the existing policy regime, and why
these ten deals could establish the charter for a new way forward.
