The last 6 years have been tumultuous. Really since the Democrats took control of the House and Senate in 2006 it has been a disaster in Washington DC it has been a downward spiral.
There have been a few worthy accomplishments of President Obama. Fewer than a recent list I saw that had 269 on it. They were nearly all smoke and mirror symbolism over substance kinds of things. A panel for this, a study for that. Blah Blah Blah. You can find it by googling it.
It's the big stuff that matters here. Here is what the Majority needs change at once:
FIX Obamacare by stopping it. Saving the village means destroying it. (an old Vietnam era idea). There is ONE good news thing that happened because of the Obamacare debacle. We now know healthcare access and usability (that means money) is critical. So the result of a good alternative is essential. It need to be free market. It needs to be competitive. It needs to protect the most vulnerable, but that number must be smaller and it needs to be affordable. It never was an accomplishment and every honest person knows it. Medical device tax et all.. throw it all in trash and start over.
Get government off the backs of energy development. Repeal the oil depletion deduction. Keystone pipeline construction. I believe President Obama will go for this. We can make the world our oyster by doing this.
Reduce regulation that makes crony capitalists thrive at the expense of the free market. The recent solar farm in Nevada is a prime example. Stop subsidizing failure. No more Solyndras. Do intense investigation into every failure and hole people accountable. No outs for big money.
Make Big Banks smaller. No more Goldman Sachs bailouts. Too big to fail was a failure. Dodd Frank has frozen credit. Money no matter how cheap is worthless if you can't get any. Business cannot borrow today. Home mortgage for a self employed person is out of the question. Time to dial back the stupid rules.
Restore effective education. No more common core nonsense. Make education the job of educators. Top down doesn't work. Use vouchers for funding schools and watch them get real good at meeting demand. Disband teacher unions. AND by the way dump out of the unelected Michelle Obama stupid school lunches.
Allow for NON union work on public infrastructure projects. We are wasting the public's money subsidizing unions. IF I bid on a project as a non union shop I can figure $25 per hour for labor and pass it along to get the bid. If I have to do union wages I have to figure $65 per hour. That doesn't come out of my profits. That comes out of the taxpayer pocket. Bad stewardship. This is one of the most egregious things Obama has done, the GM Union deal was terrible.
Leave minimum wages to the states. If a state wants to implement more, go ahead.. let them compete with the state next to them. Make minimum wages age defendant. Let a kid get a job for $5 an hour to start. He will learn to work. Learn to save. Nobody is going to hire some 16 year old kid for ten buck an hour. Our unemployed youth is a crisis. Minimum wages aggregates that. Roll back the minimum wage requirements Obama put in place.
Much deeper scrutiny of new appointments. Obama has put some liberal tyrannical judges on the bench the past several years. They have overruled the voters by implementing same sex marriage where there was no support from the electorate.
Reduce the highest corporate income tax in the world. In truth is should be zero. No tax. Corporations don't pay taxes. People do. And by the way make it possible to bring money back to the USA that is stashed around the world because of our crazy income tax on corporations. If Democrats believe they can reverse economic pressures simply by raising taxes on the rich and redistributing to everyone else, they are mistaken. I didn't say that last line, that comes from Robert Reich... Former Clinton Economic guy. He's right..
Lower the barriers to citizenship, but not amnesty. Let's bring the best and brightest to our shores. If an applicant comes, judge him not by his minority status, his religion, his ethnic background but what he ADDS to the melting pot. Not just money. You must Qualify to become an American. Those who are already here get first hearing, but the bar is higher than they think. If they are guilty of serious crime, if they are not contributor and living off government largess, if they are scamming the system, let's get them a ticket back to the hellhole from which they came. Being an American is a privilege, not a right by squatting (you made it across the border). No blanket amnesty. No wholesale democrat voter creation. We can patrol our borders.. It's a matter of will..and right now the administration doesn't have any will to do this.
Stop the foolish foreign policies of this administration. The world had gone to pieces because of Pres Obama's fumbling and bungling. While we are not the policemen of the world, the world looks to the USA as a plumb line of sanity.. and to date we haven't got that. Strong defense, strong military, strong opposition to the bad people in the world. And if we aren't sure who is good or bad, stay out. Syria is one such we should have stayed out of. God will sort them out.
I don't see many so called accomplishments that need to be preserved. Certainly not the ones that all Christians stand against. Euthanasia, more open abortion, open homosex in the military, gay marriage and a host of other pagan evil sanctioned things this administration has brought upon us.
I am open to hearing from anyone what they might be. Progress isn't really the byproduct of this administration. But I'm willing to hear.
The new majority needs to take a stand.. I don't know if they will. They are pretty weak too. Yet, with enough fire they might.. maybe. I can only hope.. and I hope it's not false hope.
