Mr. Trump, I Wrote a Speech For You. No Charge!

by Tom Balek, Contributing Author: My fellow citizens, if you elect me, Donald Trump, to be your president, here are my domestic priorities for the first hundred days of my term:

Government Accountability and Reform
Government sector unions will be eliminated or restrictions imposed, such as: Unions would be prohibited from contributing to political candidates or having any involvement in political campaigns. Government employees would be employed "at will", empowering managers to hire, fire, and discipline without union intervention. They would be subject to the same payroll and benefit laws as the private sector, including social security, 401k, and Medicaid coverage or private health insurance allowance. We can no longer tolerate a government where nobody is responsible for anything or ever gets fired.

Congress will establish biannual performance and zero-based budget requirements for every department and agency, and oversight committees will hold agency heads responsible for meeting goals, with the authority to discipline or discharge failing managers. Redundant and obsolete services and programs will be eliminated from agencies and departments. This is basic economics, understood by every American.

All elected officials will be subject to the same ethics standards and prosecution as private sector corporate officials, prohibiting insider trading, personal gain from transactions and decisions, nepotism, payoffs for campaign contributions, and any other breaches of trust. Why should elected officials get away with corruption that is not tolerated in private business?

Congressional term limits will be established. The power structure must be brought under control.

Congress will be required to produce timely budgets; continuing resolutions will be prohibited. The job of Congress is to budget and appropriate. If they don't do that, we don't need them.
Law and OrderMy new IRS and FBI commissioners will investigate Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation for tax fraud and improper quid pro quo deals with foreign companies and governments. This kind of corruption must be brought to light and stopped once and for all.

Sanctuary cities will be denied federal funding. Existing immigration laws will be enforced at the borders and ports, and in all government offices and programs. Officials who fail or refuse to enforce any federal law will be disciplined or terminated. Without borders, we have no country. And without law enforcement, we have anarchy.

Federal involvement in local law enforcement will cease, including the use of consent decrees to impose federal control.
Health, Welfare, Housing and EducationThe Affordable Health Care Act will be repealed and replaced by a congressionally approved plan which includes a provision for a federal assigned risk pool for pre-existing conditions.

Federal funding of all means-tested welfare and assistance programs and all educational programs will be limited to block grants to the states. Our Constitution intended the power of the people to reside in state governments, not federal. This is the United STATES of America.

Government funding of private health care providers specifically including Planned Parenthood will be prohibited.

The federal student loan program will be eliminated and restored to the private sector. Any program for relief from student loan debt will include provisions for clawback of public losses from the universities who received the student loan payments.

Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and other government subsidized home loan programs will be phased out, restoring the mortgage industry to the private sector.
Tax ReformEstate taxes will be permanently eliminated – it is double taxation. Corporate income tax will be significantly reduced to encourage repatriation of assets and domestic production. Personal income taxes will be simplified. Loopholes and carve-outs will be eliminated for businesses and individuals.

Businesses will receive tax incentives for providing modern technical training programs that meet their workforce needs and result in direct sustained employment of individuals, replacing unnecessary and unproductive college time and expense.
ImmigrationLegal immigration rates and eligibilities will be revisited by Congress with impact analysis on jobs, the economy, security, and infrastructure. Charity will not be a consideration, as it is not a function of government. Illegal immigration will be treated and enforced as a criminal act.These action items have the strong support of a majority of Americans. If Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell fail to take action on these important tasks, I will use the bully pulpit of the Presidency to admonish and encourage and even embarrass them. And if they still refuse to respond to the will of their constituents, as they have over the last many years, I will find other ways to give the people what they want.

Please vote for me, your humble servant, Donald Trump.
