I really had high hopes for Trump's economic policy. Early on, I felt we needed some protectionist measures and some gutting of our governments profligate spending--particularly by the DoD. Some good things are happening according to indicators of employment and wages. But honestly, my working-class family is now paying more taxes than before, and I suspect this market growth is largely short-sighted gorging, PR-fueled and wishful thinking. Of course rah-rah nationalism is going to draw some positive speculation and investment, but it's not real growth.

Eventually the chickens will come home to roost. Our R&D funding is decelerating and becoming more centralized. We're trapping more money at the top, increasing inequality, continually squeezing dwindling natural resources without incentivizing environmentally-sustainable technology development. Trickle-down economics has its merits. It's wise to make rich people and business owners comfortable so they store money in your banks and invest more capital your nation. Unfortunately, we haven't done that. We've made them richer at the expense of the working class while they've continued to move their funds overseas into more liberalized nations. We gave their corporations control over markets like airlines, telecommunications, health insurance, bankings--eliminating competition and creating ineffeciencies.

What we should be doing is cutting taxes for the working-class. They actually take their savings and reinvest large portions of it into the local economy--via openning new businesses, purchasing more goods and services etc...One thing the working class does is work--so it makes sense that putting extra money in their pocket will result in extra money being reinvested into the economy.

The working class is the most productive segment of the economy per dollar. Unfortunately, they're already loyal tax payers, so the bureaucrats and crony businesses don't need to focus on them when campaigning. Instead, they offer sops of bread to the poor masses in order to get their policy across. This is why inner cities have stayed poor despite being dominated by leftists over the last 40 years, and why the welfare state is so inefficient. The aim is to pacify their desperation with some small gift in the short term, like a needle exchange or more money into a bad public school. In return, the leftist demagogue gets their vote and passes more policy funneling money into the businesses they're affiliated with. Wall Street loved Hillary, not Trump.

Thus, we've actually squeezed the working class more in recent years. While some tax cuts and some positive PR has led to economic growth and higher wages, it hasn't done so in a sustainable fashion. Furthermore, middle-class homeowners are now enjoying less tax cuts under Trump, the Drug War is now being waged against veterans wrought with chronic pain and health insurance has increasing per capita. Illegal immigration persists, and there's now policy on the ballot proposing that felons and illegal aliens will vote. Meaning, net resource takers will be given more power vis a viz tax-paying citizens. The middle class will effectively pay more for the same amount of public goods they received before under this policy. While this policy comes from the left, I suspect it is here because the left has been inflamed in hysteria over Trump's rhetoric. After all, every action has a reaction. The left is only becoming more radical and desperate with every loss. The cyclical nature of politics and economy leads me to believe the next president will be a democrat.

My ballot was red in Florida, but honestly, I regretted watching Rick Scott shut down sewage treatment plants, pollute the everglades and Tampa Bay, and drill offshore...He traded some short-term growth for long-term economic health--also sacrificed the beauty of the area. This is the typical conservative policy prescription. Keep doing what you're doing until it stops working. Well, it's going to stop working--we're overpopulated, our natural resource stores are quickly dwindling and the earth is telling us we're in trouble with a more extreme climate. Worse, it's economically irrational to trade tourism—e.g. clean beaches--and real estate—e.g. clean water and fertile land--for his friends at the oil companies. Tourism and real estate, most likely, are sectors that have far more growth potential and offer long-term stability in a state like Florida. Jeopardizing these sectors along with commercial fisheries to drill off shore is unlikely to be a net gain.

Unfortunately, I just didn't see any more promising options on the left side of the ballot. Frankly, I'm not surprised. That side has become the anti-science side. They're waging a war against the entire field of economics. They feel bought, and in every policy prescription are attempting to take away our individual freedoms. They want our right to self-defense, they want our free speech, they want our free markets and they want control over our critical goods--safety, telecommunications, water, arable land...Simply put, while the right may be misguided, the left has become dangerous to the citizen's future. I work in STEM, and I worked very hard to get there. I got a degree in economics (hard!) and I have spent the last 6 years working tirelessly as a software engineer (hard!). In response to the high wage I"ve earned while their voters chose easy, liberal arts degrees that have a poor return in the work force, they're forcing policy that funnels STEM jobs away from me and towards less-qualified people because of their race or gender. 51% of the US population is female--the law of supply and demand means my wage will fall if we're hiring less-qualified women just because they're women. And can I speak out? No. They're the party against free speech--they despise so-called "Hate Speech". In essence, they despise any non-polite speech, and therefore, free speech. Their rhetoric increasingly aligns with authoritarian police states that have total control over the populace.

Because they suffered a loss, the left is becoming more tyrannical. Essentially, anyone they can draw votes from they want voting. Most recently, they started pushing policy to allow felons and non-citizens to vote in elections. I saw this on my ballot in Florida. Already, they want illegal aliens sharing public goods despite so many impoverished and homeless US citizens not having enough access to them.

Both sides have become out of touch with our nations' needs. We might've had a few sops of bread under Trump, but ultimately, the inflammatory rhetoric from his regime will undoubtedly lead to a harsh reaction in the opposite direction.
