The Long View, institutional investor, posted on X. A series of proposed policy changes have been suggested to tackle various national issues, including crime, immigration, and healthcare. The proposals include deporting individuals with standing deportation orders and criminals, utilizing the National Guard to manage crime in areas like Chicago and New Orleans, and maintaining current border controls.
Additionally, the suggestions call for withdrawing from Iran and creating an AI-based unit to combat tax, immigration, and SSI fraud. There is also a proposal to remove unhealthy food options from food stamp programs and to shift tax credits to benefit families rather than single mothers.
The proposals advocate for bringing the military back home to focus on domestic security and infrastructure projects. They also suggest freezing SSI without inflation adjustments to reduce the deficit to 1% of GDP within five years.
Further recommendations include negotiating drug prices with pharmaceutical companies, expanding on TrumpRX, and providing free national basic healthcare, such as antibiotics. The plan also suggests rationing end-of-life and chronic care benefits.
Other economic measures include ending capital gains tax rates for those earning over $1 million annually and initiating new national infrastructure projects similar to the interstate plan, with a focus on nuclear and gas energy.#PolicyChanges #NationalIssues #Crime #Immigration #Healthcare #Deportation #NationalGuard #BorderControl #IranWithdrawal #AIUnit #FraudPrevention #FoodStamps #TaxCredits #Military #Infrastructure #SSI #DrugPrices #TrumpRX #BasicHealthcare #EndOfLifeCare #CapitalGainsTax #EnergyPolicy #NuclearEnergy #GasEnergy
