Letter to the Editor | Trump, Musk are turning the economy around

Despite copious negative press reports, the economy is rapidly recovering and “will take off in another 6-9 months”, according to Commissioner, George Mentz. Multiple Trump administration economic policies are aimed at boosting the GDP growth to new heights. After four years of record inflation, horrible crime, outrageous energy costs and unprecedented illegal immigration, and record national debt, prices are finally starting to come down. This last week, gas and diesel are at a 3 year low, inflation is leveling off and egg prices are coming down to pre Biden prices. There are 12 Republican strategies that will create an economic boom in the U.S., later this year and foster sustainable growth:

1. The elimination of $1 trillion in government spending fraud by DOGE.

2. Selling 250,000 Gold Visas at $5 million each, which will generate up to $1 trillion

3. Eradicating non-essential NGO’s , which will save $500 billion in waste and abuse

4. Saving another $1-2 trillion with the removal of 135,000 non-essential government jobs, that were recently created by Biden to boost the employment rate.

5. Lowering interest rates and lending by 50% will boost the economy. Interest rates on credit cards, auto loans, homes and student loans should be reduced immediately. This debt burden reduction will save another $1 trillion in annual interest on the debt.

6. Illegal-untaxed immigration is down 95% since Trump took office. This will reduce inflation and provide more jobs and benefits for American citizens.

7. Cut DEI waste and abuse, will save $1 trillion on programs, over the next 30 years.

8. Fair Trade-$100 billion per year in reciprocal tariffs revenue on good coming into the USA

9. Ending ongoing war in Ukraine will save trillions

10. Tax and regulation reduction will benefit tax burdens and companies and benefit all Americans

11, Reducing crime will benefit business costs and help lower insurance rates.

12. Reducing the corporate tax rate will stimulate economic activity and grow the economy.

These savings may add up to $5-7 trillion dollars in the next 1-2 years. We must cut costs and spending to address the $36 trillion in nation debt. All in all, by pursuing these strategies, we can look forward to growth, prosperity and a safe, business and taxpayer friendly environment. Thank-you President Trump and Elon Musk!
