What follows is my 100-day action plan to Make America Great Again. It is a contract between myself and the American voter — and begins with restoring honesty, accountability and change to Washington
Therefore, on the first day of my term of office, my administration will immediately pursue the following six measures to clean up the corruption and special interest collusion in Washington, DC:
First, propose a Constitutional Amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress;
Second, a hiring freeze on all federal employees to reduce federal workforce through attrition (exempting military, public safety, and public health);
Third, a requirement that for every new federal regulation, two existing regulations must be eliminated;
Fourth, a five-year ban on White House and Congressional officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government service;
Fifth, a lifetime ban on White House officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government;
Sixth, a complete ban on foreign lobbyists raising money for American elections.
On the same day, I will begin taking the following seven actions to protect American workers:
First, I will announce my intention to renegotiate NAFTA or withdraw from the deal under Article 2205;
Second, I will announce our withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership;
Third, I will direct my Secretary of the Treasury to label China a currency manipulator;
Fourth, I will direct the Secretary of Commerce and U.S. Trade Representative to identify all foreign trading abuses that unfairly impact American workers and direct them to use every tool under American and international law to end those abuses immediately;
Fifth, I will lift the restrictions on the production of $50 trillion dollars' worth of job-producing American energy reserves, including shale, oil, natural gas and clean coal;
Sixth, lift the Obama-Clinton roadblocks and allow vital energy infrastructure projects, like the Keystone Pipeline, to move forward;
Seventh, cancel billions in payments to U.N. climate change programs and use the money to fix America's water and environmental infrastructure.
Additionally, on the first day, I will take the following five actions to restore security and the constitutional rule of law:
First, cancel every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum and order issued by President Obama;
Second, begin the process of selecting a replacement for Justice Scalia from one of the 20 judges on my list, who will uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States;
Third, cancel all federal funding to Sanctuary Cities;
Fourth, begin removing the more than 2 million criminal illegal immigrants from the country and cancel visas to foreign countries that won't take them back;
Fifth, suspend immigration from terror-prone regions where vetting cannot safely occur — all vetting of people coming into our country will be considered extreme vetting.
Next, I will work with Congress to introduce the following broader legislative measures and fight for their passage within the first 100 days of my Administration:
1. Middle Class Tax Relief and Simplification Act. An economic plan designed to grow the economy 4% per year and create at least 25 million new jobs through massive tax reduction and simplification, in combination with trade reform, regulatory relief, and lifting the restrictions on American energy. The largest tax reductions are for the middle class. A middle-class family with two children will get a 35% tax cut. The current number of brackets will be reduced from seven to three, and tax forms will likewise be greatly simplified. The business rate will be lowered from 35 to 15 percent, and the trillions of dollars of American corporate money overseas can now be brought back at a 10 percent rate.
2. End the Offshoring Act. Establishes tariffs to discourage companies from laying off their workers in order to relocate in other countries and ship their products back to the U.S. tax-free.
3. American Energy and Infrastructure Act. Leverages public-private partnerships, and private investments through tax incentives, to spur $1 trillion in infrastructure investment over ten years. It is revenue neutral.
4. School Choice and Education Opportunity Act. Redirects education dollars to gives parents the right to send their kid to the public, private, charter, magnet, religious or home school of their choice. Ends common core, brings education supervision to local communities. It expands vocational and technical education, and make two- and four-year college more affordable.
5. Repeal and Replace Obamacare Act. Fully repeals Obamacare and replaces it with Health Savings Accounts, the ability to purchase health insurance across state lines, and lets states manage Medicaid funds. Reforms will also include cutting the red tape at the FDA: there are over 4,000 drugs awaiting approval, and we especially want to speed the approval of life-saving medications.
6. Affordable Childcare and Eldercare Act. Allows Americans to deduct childcare and elder care from their taxes, incentivizes employers to provide on-site childcare services, and creates tax-free Dependent Care Savings Accounts for both young and elderly dependents, with matching contributions for low-income families.
7. End Illegal Immigration Act. Fully funds the construction of a wall on our southern border with the full understanding that the country Mexico will be reimbursing the United States for the full cost of such wall; establishes a two-year mandatory minimum federal prison sentence for illegally re-entering the U.S. after a previous deportation, and a five-year mandatory minimum for illegally re-entering for those with felony convictions, multiple misdemeanor convictions or two or more prior deportations; also reforms visa rules to enhance penalties for overstaying and to ensure open jobs are offered to American workers first.
8. Restoring Community Safety Act. Reduces surging crime, drugs and violence by creating a Task Force on Violent Crime and increasing funding for programs that train and assist local police; increases resources for federal law enforcement agencies and federal prosecutors to dismantle criminal gangs and put violent offenders behind bars.
9. Restoring National Security Act. Rebuilds our military by eliminating the defense sequester and expanding military investment; provides Veterans with the ability to receive public VA treatment or attend the private doctor of their choice; protects our vital infrastructure from cyber-attack; establishes new screening procedures for immigration to ensure those who are admitted to our country support our people and our values.
10. Clean Up Corruption in Washington Act. Enacts new ethics reforms to Drain the Swamp and reduce the corrupting influence of special interests on our politics.
On November 8th, Americans will be voting for this 100-day plan to restore prosperity to our economy, security to our communities, and honesty to our government.
This is my pledge to you.
And if we follow these steps, we will once more have a government of, by and for the people.
Democrats are extremely bad for your economic health.
T
oday, a quarter of all prime working-age Americans have been pushed out of the workforce.
They didn't do that.
Somebody else made that happen. Namely, Democommierats.
Jimmy Carter and ØJimmah the Second Coming of Carter™ each had a Democommierat-controlled Congress before and during his one term. The result: 25% of Americans between the ages of 25 and 54 kept or driven out of the job market.
Following Jimmah I's reign of error, Ronald Reagan and his Republican controlled Senate were well on their way to creating an over 80% participation rate for such Americans. Until Democommierats took over the Senate and made the rate drop.
BiIsIs al-Qlinton couldn't get it up above 80%, either. But, fortunately, Newt Gingrich and his fellow Republicans gained control of both the House and Senate. Then the participation rate was on the rise again.
The only reason it stopped rising was Demøcommierats retook control of the Senate.
Thankfully, President Bush and his Republican controlled Congresses made the rate rise for a third time, all the way back up to 80%.
Then crazed job-killing Demøcomierats(birm), led by Ninny Pelousy and Harry Reidtard, retook control of both houses of Congress and immediately made the participation rate plummet. They had help along the way, too: Their Job Killer-in-Chief, Jimmah ver. Ø2, doubled that dismal drop.
There Demøcommierats stubbornly kept it at its three-decade low for two extremely miserable years. The only reason that rate has seen any real uptick is Republicans regained control of the House.
Make no mistake: the more Demøcommierats control America's government the worse off all Americans are. Especially working-age Americans.
Job growth under Obama has been the slowest of any recovery since the Great Depression. As a result, only 58% of the civilian working age population is working, the lowest since the late 1970s. Investors Business Daily reports that the rate of new business start-ups, historically the source of most new jobs, has plunged to an all time low of 7.87% of all businesses. These are the reasons why over half of recent college graduates under 25 are jobless or underemployed, and 3 in 10 young adults can't find jobs and live with their parents, the highest since the 1950s. Obama's campaign slogan is "For[ making yo a ]ward[ of da state]," but under his misleadership America is hurtling backward to the past....
Unemployment for African Americans under Obama has been well into depression level double digits for his entire term, remaining today still at 13.6%. Black teenagers continue to suffer depression unemployment at 37%. Hispanics too have suffered long term double digit unemployment under Obama, still stuck at 11% in May.

Solyndra Inc., which manufactured solar panels at its plant in Fremont, Calif., received $535 million in Energy Department loans, and President Obama talked glowingly about how the company was "leading the way toward a brighter and more prosperous future." Instead of creating work for Americans after receiving taxpayer money, the company shipped half its manufacturing jobs to China. In August, Solyndra declared bankruptcy and laid off 1,100 workers.

The bailout that General Motors received from the government came with a price: The carmaker was tasked to create the ultimate green vehicle. The result — the Chevy Volt — is a product with an exorbitant price tag that nobody wants to buy. Despite vast government subsidies, GM only sold 3,200 cars in the first eight months since the electric plug-in vehicles hit the marketplace.
Chevy Volt: $42,513

Evergreen Solar Inc., of Massachusetts, which received $58 million in stimulus money and other government largesse, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in August and closed its plant in Midland, Mich. Not being able to compete against the Chinese and their low-wage workers, the company racked up $485 million in debt and cut 800 jobs, with more cuts to come as the company restructures.

The city of Seattle received $20 million in federal stimulus money to help homeowners make their houses more energy-efficient. Some 16 months later, 14 jobs were created and three homes were weatherized. Most of the money went to a company to train workers to weatherize buildings, but the lack of demand for the service meant those trainees had no work to do.
each (gan)green "job": $1,428,571
weatherizing each home: $6,666,667.

After Obama's stimulus package doled out billions to subsidize the weatherization of homes, the Labor Department delayed the project by seven months while it determined the prevailing-wage standards for those green jobs — a sop to the President's union supporters. That is just one reason why the program turned into a miserable failure. In its first year, the program spent $508 million to create 600 jobs and update 9,000 homes nationwide.
new "prevailing wage": $846,667

Johnson Controls, which manufactures batteries for electric and hybrid cars at its plant in Holland, Mich., received $300 million in taxpayer help and created a grand total of 150 jobs — or $2 million per job. That must qualify as a huge success in the green-job world, as President Obama visited the facility in August, using the trip to attack Republicans and a "do-nothing government." Yes, Mr. President, sometimes doing nothing is preferable to shoveling money into a hole.

Clark County, Nev., which happens to be the home of the gambling mecca of Las Vegas, received $490,000 in stimulus money from the U.S. Forest Service to plant trees in urban neighborhoods (more palm trees on The Strip?). The stimulus that resulted from the grant to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's home state created 1.7 jobs (one full-time employee and one part time) and 11 temporary jobs. You get a better return for your money at the slot machines.

You're wanting to do the exact same "shovelready" things you've been doing for to us over the last two and a half years, but make us believe that this time it'll be different? That your new Stinkulus "plan," unlike your old Stinkulus, will for the first time in your alleged presidency get the job done of actually getting us jobs?
What are you going to say this time? That without your Stinkulus, Jr. our unemployment rate will be a zillion percent, but with it "only" 25 percent? Or are you going to be telling us once again, not too many months from now, that "shovelready was not as shovelready as we expected. Ha!-ha!-ha!-ha!-ha!"? Just like you did with your Stinkulus, Sr.?
Moron.
We'd each have to be as stupefyingly daft as you and your whole "economic" team insane asylum put together before yes we can expect your repeated boondoggles to produce any results other the same old corrupt-slushfunded ones you've been assaulting us over and over and over with since you dropped your last Stinkulus bomb on us.
The only shovelready job that can possibly give our county its first real hope of ever again seeing the long-term creation and saving of any actual ones is working to get the massive change in personnel we need at both 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and the north wing of the United States Capitol.
Unlike any under your twin Stinkulus "plans," there's a date certain on which that job will be successfully and satisfyingly completed — namely, Tuesday, November 6, 2012.
Come on, Warren. It's really very simple. You don't even have to wait for any new law.
Just take out your checkbook, open its imported Nile crocodile leather with pearl studded "WEB" monogram cover, pick up your gold plated, diamond encrusted pen, and on the first blank, elephant-hide paper check — where it says Pay to the Order of — write "United States Treasury." On the next line write "One Billion and 00/100--" dollars. In that little box above the word Dollars, squeeze in $"1000000000.00." On the memo line write "My fair share." Properly date and sign your check, tear it out of the checkbook, put it in one of your gold-threaded pure cotton paper, monogram watermarked envelopes, lick its Dom Perignon White Gold Jeroboam sprinkled adhesive strip, and seal it. Then write on front of the envelope:
Finally, stick your personalized "Oracle of Omaha" first-class postage stamp on it. Then give that envelope to your butler and tell him/her/other to put it in your mailbox outside the gates. (Make sure he/she/other doesn't forget to raise its red flag!)
That's it. You're done.
You can rest assured every penny of your gift will be spent by your dEar LeaderOhr Führer on his Stinkulus, Jr.™ "plan."
Should be enough, given his record, to Create Or Save® nearly 14 jobs.
That is, after his big public sector union-boss buddies and other Demøcrook special-interest NSDWP front-group cronies, as well as all the thousands upon thousands of new federal agents, bureaucrats, and other government "workers," get Their Fair Bribe Cut™, of course.
oting for DemØcrooks is fatal to our county's health:
The red shows all their extreme spending they've put on our public credit card.
DemØcrooks swore it would "jumpstart" our economy.
It still hasn't.
Epic Fail.
Under this misadministration, medium household income is worse than it's been in 15 years!
Øbungler thinks feels stealing another $50 billion a year from millionaires will leave any of us better off?
He's insane.
Øbamaniac and his fellow loons in Congress clearly have no clue how to jumpstart a tiny lemonade stand, let alone the largest economy in the world!
You'd think that, after making our country go to hell for so long, DemØcrooks would've by now at least tried to go to Texas to see how real "job creating and saving" is done.
That's wildly assuming, of course, DemØcrooks were ever really interested in creating or saving any jobs at all (besides their own). So far there's been absolutely no clear and convincing evidence of that.
More of the same old tired tax-and-$pend(-on-bribe$-for-vote$) liberal crap.
R
emember all the jobs "created or saved" by Øblamer-in-Chief's Stinkulu$, Sr. bill?
Me, neither.
When His Fraudulency™ put his marX on that steaming pile of dønkey dung, he promised it would lower the unemployment rate to below seven percent by this year.
As Figure 1 shows, even with the large prototypical package, the unemployment rate in 2010Q4 is predicted to be approximately 7.0%, which is well below the approximately 8.8% that would result in the absence of a plan.
Today, the unemployment rate is still over 9.0%. That's in the presence of His Shovelready Joblessness's Stinkulu$, Sr. "plan."
Now His Wayoverhisheadness™ wants to drop on us anøther of his massively smelly turd$ that's almost as large as his fir$t øne?
Maybe he thinks feels we haven't been thanking him enough for ramming that last monstrously putrefied piece of unprecedented poopage down all our throats. All for nothing, too. Except for paying off bribing Øbamalodorousness's Big Union Boss buddie$ and libfreeloading special interest cronie$ and lobbyist$, of course — using our money! — while mercilessly leaving us ever larger and larger budget deficits and higher and higher mountain chains of public debt.
Yeah. Thank$ a lot, Ødoo-doo. We, our children, our grandchildren, and even our great grandchildren are going to be so grateful when the unpayable bill$ come in for that Mount Everest of ØbaManure™.
Yes You Can just scrape that gangrenous glob of fetid feces off your TelePrompTers and cram it right back up your shovelreadied Big Gov Gølfernment 18th hole.
One Øbamalignancy™ has been quite enough. Our country cannot afford any more.
You're a full-blown economic terrorist and Public Enemy Nø. Øne, Øbarbarian-at-the-Gate.
The people who love America — i.e., not you or any of your fellow extremists and crooks, Øhostage-taker-in-Chief — are our army. And we're already marching.
