#1 is that the dems hate America... not everyone feels that way of course but I put it at #1
#2 is that despite what Biden has been telling us? China is not our friend and is far from 'harmless' and that Trump was right to close the borders and do the tariffs.
#3... bringing back manufacturing and having vital supply lines right here in America and not 'globalist' is essential. we can't even make drugs that we need or PPE gear without Trump calling an emergency powers act.
#4.. We never want to ever be put in the position of not being energy independent. Oil and gas and coal are essential. we can supplement that with green energy but only supplement till tech makes it feasable.
#5... Too few farmers and meat growers control too much of our food source. 50% of their sales are to restaurants and they are mega business with maybe 4 large meat producers in the country. We need to break up these monopolies and even subsidies small farms and ranches with tax breaks or even total tax exemption status.
#6.. we absolutely need even more middle class tax cuts. We also need to cut red tape on housing so that it does not cost $200k for a lot to even start building a home. Bring back the affordable single family dwellings (modest homes) of the 1950's that gave our returning soldiers a first or starter home. These same homes... flat tops that sold for $7k in the late 50's are now selling for $400k in California. No new young family can afford these now... You build a $75k dollar modest home and generations of new people will be able to afford it down the road.
Just a few of my thoughts on this.

Opinion
2: China is a capitalists wet dream, its not going anywhere, it
will always remain an important trade partner unless something
changes
3: People won't pay the prices for home-made stuff any more, we
have been trying this in the UK/Europe for decades, people don't
spend more than they have to on a single item, that way they
can by more shit they don't need overall.
4: America is not energy independent? How does that work?
5: Again links into 3, another issue we have had over here,
domestic farming gets so expensive the product will skyrocket in
price, you will end up with a massively subsided, tax or otherwise,
farming sector.
6: Fair points, no one wants to build small affordable homes over
here either, its very bizarre. They would rather build 25% larger
than average and then sell it for 75% over its actual value, or just
leave it sat unsold on the market for YEARS on the basis of a sunk
cost fallacy (used to work in property, saw it all the time).
Most of the western
worlds issues could be solved by people “cutting their cloth
accordingly”, not buying shit they don’t need, not living in debt
and being willing to purchase a quality product for a fair price.
I was concerned when
my credit card bill got a bit high during the 2008 crisis when our hours got cut, a co-worker asked me about it and
then LAUGHED at me saying that was not big enough debt to “worry
about”, any debt (other than a mortgage) in my book is a bad thing.
People are insane.
Hell if I did not need a decent credit rating to qualify for a good mortgage i would not even have a credit card.
