The best that Trump can do to stimulate jobs is the same thing that Reagan and FDR did -- create jobs with infrastructure programs and military spending.
Obviously this will spur skyrocketing deficits to even greater heights, which McConnell and Ryan may NOT agree with. So there could be gridlock on this Trump proposal.
I do not expect that there will be any tax cuts. The USA will remain at a war footing on taxes as before.
The corporate tax rate may come down, but that is all. But at the same time the nasty corporations like Apple, Google, Microsoft, Walmart, etc. who shift their profits to low tax countries need to reigned in. Reigning them in may pay for the tax cuts for other corporations. The way to reign-in these wayward corporations is called "Subpart F." You can look it up.
"The best that Trump can do to stimulate jobs is the same thing that Reagan and FDR did -- create jobs with infrastructure programs and military spending." That's what Obama did.
I believed he stated that he was all for rebuilding the military and also made some comments about our infrastructure as well.. I'm going to wait and see just how much the Congress goes along with his plans myself. Once Congress gets hold of something, it can change very drastically from the original proposal.
And that is what so many people don't understand. The President really only has the power to implement the laws passed by Congress. Sure, he/she has Executive Orders, but those are limited in scope and duration and the next President can wipe them away with the stroke of a pen. Not the same as a law.
Congress is the big prize. A Congress can undo a President or even sabotage a President; but the Democrats seem to have forgotten that. They have lost the majority in the Senate during Obama's term and also lost control of the House.
