Finally though someone at least linked me to something the Donald posted about his positions... My a bit disappointed that he only has 7 positions listed and one of them pretty much incorporates the other... Reducing taxes and increasing spending to achieve his goals... Simplifying the tax code which others have proposed but none have been able to get through congress... He didn't even address some of his major statements like how he plans to get all the current illegal immigrants out of the United States... He doesn't detail how much money reducing the tax burden and eliminating tax loopholes would cost/generate... attack fraud and waste but doesn't comment on how he will do that... He pledged to triple the amount of ICE agents to help deal with illegal immigration....
His whole thing with China in trade.... Most of that is already being done...other than saying he will negotiate with strength he doesn't show how his efforts to achieve the same goals would be any more successful... President Obama has already called them out on manipulating their currency and he even comments on complaints being made through the WTO that he would make as well...
For va care he talks about revamping all of the va facilities to be up to date and hire more veterans at these facilities and then says that he will make it so that a vet can go pretty much anywhere they want and the va will have to compete for their vet clientele...
He makes a lot of general statements and doesn't provide much to back it up... Not how it would work or what the effects would be, how long it might take to accomplish... What the tax burden would be... I mean I can go up there and tell you hey I'm going to make this better just trust me! That's basically what he's doing...
I will say that his plan to make Mexico pay for the wall had the most detail and was included in to of his points... It just doesn't seem doable...
