Oddly enough, there’s really only one thing both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump agree on: Joe Biden has been a disaster as President of the United States. Both Harris and Trump promise to undo much of what Biden has done, which is a good thing. But it’s a little bit weird that one of those candidates helped implement those policies in the first place. It’s going to be interesting to see how Kamala distances herself from, well, herself and Joe Biden.
What should they undo? Well, all of it, honestly. Joe Biden’s 4 years in the White House should be wiped clean from the history books. We’ll never get back the money the Biden/Harris administration cost us these years, but we can make sure we rip out the causes of that pain by the root.
Of course, what Kamala Harris is promising to do is much worse. Price controls have been the foundation of some of the worst ideas that human being have ever come up with, and the concepts that accompany those ideas led directly to the deaths of more than 100 million people in the last century, so it’s not a good road to travel down.
That being said, if Harris or Trump are looking for some specific ideas to repudiate or completely repeal in the next 4 years, allow me to make a few suggestions.
A good place to start would be to close the border until a wall – a good wall, a double wall, can be built and patrolled like the border of Poland. Poland has no interest in allowing illegal aliens, er, asylum-seekers into their country. And who can blame them?
While Poland isn’t “celebrating the diversity” that is overrunning the rest of Europe, they’re also not dealing with the spikes in immigrant crime or grooming gangs that have swept the rest of the continent either. Fewer murders and assaults in exchange for people being able to communicate with one another and a scornful look from leftists in Brussels and beyond is a fair trade.
Until the border is sealed, no one should be allowed in. Once it is sealed, the standards for who is allowed in have to be set high, and enforced. There’s nothing wrong with asking “What do we get out of letting you in?” There’s everything right with sending anyone who can’t answer that question in a way that demonstrates it will not only be something we need, but something we want, too.
Then fine the hell out of any company that hires illegal, something like $50,000 per illegal. Making hiring them painful, while cutting off welfare benefits and only subsidizing plane tickets home will be a subtle way to send a message that the United States has a border again, and it means something.
Stop sending blank checks to Ukraine. Hunter Biden will no longer be around to take his cut, so maybe Democrats will have less interest in this grift. Then again, a lot of them have degenerate kids who are unemployable in any other way than their last names, so who knows?
No matter what, we need to attach some strings to any aid headed that way in the future, like a basic accounting of where all the previous money went. If they can’t or won’t do that, they should get nothing. If they do, then the United States should lead talks to end the war with Russia. Ukraine won’t like it, but at least it will still exist after. They don’t have to, if they aren’t interested in accounting for what they did with our money…
Repeal mandates and cancel all unspent waste. The government is readying to set a huge pile of money on fire for rural broadband internet and electric vehicle charging stations. Cancel it. If Biden can cancel student loans, the next president can cancel wasteful spending that hasn’t happened yet. Democrats love abortion so much, they can think of this as a late-term abortion of billions in unnecessary spending.
Another policy that needs to be flushed down history’s toilet is the 95 percent tax the government can now impose on drug companies that won’t comply with a president’s demands. The presidency was never meant to be the Godfather, telling pharmaceutical companies that either their brains or their signature will be on the “negotiated” price agreements the feds put in front of them, but that’s what Joe Biden turned it into. It was insane at the time, it’s still insane now and needs to end.
Hell, while they’re at it, repeal the entire Inflation Reduction Act. A lot of the damage from this monstrosity has already been done, but some of it can be stopped by repealing that mess and cutting off the creation of the money to pay for it before it’s too late. Biden created inflation, and much of it with this beast, ending it would go a long way to undoing much of the mess he caused.
And so does Joe’s rewriting of Title IX to mandate the indulgence of gender dysphoria by public schools and girls’ sports. While it would be best for the states to simply reject all federal money – attached strings don’t matter if you don’t take what they’re attached to – Title IX needs to be changed back to be about women and girls. Democrats can’t tell you what a woman is, but none of them have ever accidentally dated a man pretending to be one. Let them remain confused in public and a gynecologist in their personal lives, while normalcy is allowed to be reinstated for everyone else.
That’s the real goal: restoring some normalcy. In all of these suggestions, returning to normal after the attempted bastardization of that concept by Democrats, is exactly what the doctor ordered. OK, maybe not a doctor a Democrat would see, but a real one who isn’t interested in mutilating children or relying on government to “negotiate” anything on their behalf.
Promising a return to normal would go a long way toward winning in November, and Democrats are anything but normal.
