Without a doubt President Trump is remaking the world (economic) order even as I write to you. Since after Reagan, every single Administration has empowered something ominous called, “The Global Economy”. Let’s remember these men were elected by the American people, technically for the American People – so why all this talk about the Global Economy?
Plain and simple... What percentage of America is employed by Big Business and/or Wall Street? The estimates of Big Business jobs hovers somewhere between 17-25%. But then how much of America is employed by small business and Main Street? That estimate is as high as 70%, depending on who you listen to.
I have worked in and around big business several times in my career, I have had partnerships with some huge quazi-governmental organizations and worked directly with some of the nations largest banks. Without a doubt, the working culture within Small Business America and Main Steet is light-years ahead of Big Business America. And it’s actually very simple to understand, if I employ my neighbors, friends, family, etc. I am going to be much more apt to treat them well, even like gold – compared to Big Business who tends to run their empires with accountants and lawyers, who make decisions based on profits and losses, cold and calloused, without much of the heart and soul that a small business owner would put into their efforts.
The study of economics is more the study of psychology and morale than it is a subset of accounting or mathematics. Given the opportunity to do the work that they love, given the ability to achieve without limitation and prosper without grievous taxation and government regulation, a nations families would come to thrive, enjoying and even loving what they produce! This inspired and hopeful workforce would become a whole new nation of inspired and thriving citizens – and the nation would witness years and generations of prosperity and abundance! It’s very simple math.
President Trump has decided to bet on America. He has not only bet big on America but he has bet big on the American people, same as President Ronald Reagan. He is remaking the (global) economy for the benefit of the American people. He has been messaging very publicly, for eight plus years now that the rest of the world should get in line and follow his lead. If other nations leadership would care first about their own citizenry, their morale and success, their own countries would skyrocket into productivity, abundance and prosperity - and all this without taking away from any other nation's successes.
Heap complex taxation, layers of lawfare and regulation, high interest rates and government-controlled wages on the shoulders of a nation and watch that nation crumble, within even a short generation! Communism, for one example, is a study in heartless and cruel heavy-government regulated economics – and socialism is the kissing-cousin of communism. Allow men to thrive and to fail. Allow the families the freedom to chase after their hearts desires. Promote and enable the families to build the life that they have determined best for their own household, without harming anyone else - and watch that nation come to life!
I am hoping and praying President Trump will double and triple down his bet on the American people - we will not let you down Sir!
Taxation – I would personally enjoy being a part of a team re-imagining taxation in our nation. Many will admit that the IRS was never a part of the America envisioned by the founders. Many would even say that it is unconstitutional. We do need to climb out of this debt, immediately - and how?
DOGE – cutting government waste is really just the beginning. We have to return what the federal, state and local governments were supposed to be – returning to these founding principals that made our USA great in the first place. DOGE really seems to be a tremendous first step in the right direction!
Lending – Interesting to note that the Bible calls for a Zero Percent interest rate for your fellow countrymen. Read the law of Moses. We are so accustomed to paying interest rates on our loans – making a small group of people even wealthier, a small group of people who do not typically reinvest in Main Street or the American people, at large – we don’t even know what it’s like not to have bills. The American people need to rethink what they choose to invest in – what we invest in we empower.
Import/Export Policy – has more to do with two nations getting along and sharing a common vision than it does “What is fair” or some other Globalist-Fantasy Ideal. The American Constitution called for the funding of the federal government thru tariffs. President Trump is merely following the vision of our nations founders, the vision that made America the economic powerhouse it has been for so long now.
China – US Political Policy and Wall Street made China to achieve the manufacturing dominance they have in a relatively short period of time. China 50 years ago was basically the third world, China following World War II had hardly begun to enter into this industrial era. China has been cheating, lying and deceiving for generations now and our own USA (Wall Street) has often empowered it. The Street has made big bets on China throughout modern history – even though they are fully aware of China’s slave labor, unjust weights and balances and even theft. Why we have continually propped up this Chinese Communist Party and their horrible world-view continues to astound me.
The EU – we could return to being (free trade) trading partners at some point in the future but for now the President is right in resetting relations with the whole of the EU. We have been entirely generous to Europe ever since the end of WW2 – and yet what gratitude have they (within their politics) shown? It is thus with human nature. Again, that’s why the President is wise in choosing to care about America First and resetting our entire relationship with Europe.
Israel and the Middle East – perhaps more than any nation on earth, Israel is tied into the US economy, defense, culture and more. President Trump is right to stay committed to this relationship. The Middle East and Africa hold more possibility and prosperity right now than any other region in the world! If the Middle East can stop warring, this generation could very well see a brand new Middle East emerge and a never before seen freedom prospering their families!
There is more I have on my heart about economics, agreeing with President Trump’s vision for America First. I will share in future articles.
While the next 6 – 12 months may be a bit bumpy, oil prices are dropping, investments will continue pouring into the nation, all that money from tariff’s will start filling our coffer’s, as our nation’s debt burden continues to drop our US Dollar will strengthen and the economy will reset – and a new hope and morale will return to the American people and the economy will boom!
Bet On America! But a bet on Wall Street is not, anymore, a bet on America like it once was – to bet on America is to bet on the patriot-citizens who truly care about America First, they are invested in this nation’s future and determined to see the foundations that made our nation great, to continue.
Who has ever lost such a bet? Everyone who tested our resolve has eventually lost the competition. A bet on America is just about the safest bet one might find - and if that bet includes American Main Street and Small Business Owners, it will pay back in spades!
