Something About a Dream
Obama’s Economy Creating Jobs
We are currently governing
over the economy mainly set by the
former administration and taking
credit for it.
We believe government is in
the way of a strong economy and it is
up to the American people to build it.
From the 2016 Platform we
said under Obama 3 million less
private sector jobs were added below
the estimates. Under the Trump
administration in 2017, 2 million
private sector jobs were created along
with 2018 topping that with 4.8
million jobs being created, and finally
to start out the new year 2019 in
January 300 thousand jobs were
created. Under Obama labor force
participation rates were staying below
63% for far too long, under President
Trump the labor force participation
rate hit far above 63% being 63.2%
In 2016 we said America could
do better. Somehow it did. We have
been recovering from the Great
Recession, obviously it must be us

Obama. We shall take the credit and
will hope that this growth continues,
but we’ll see what the tax cuts do.
Simpler Taxes Yes, Fairer Taxes No
It is very important to have Pro-
growth tax reform and we believe it
has the greatest effect on the
economy. The tax code under Obama
was stupidly long and complex so we
said it needed to be completely
rewritten so in spirit of that we
changed a few things, changed some
rates and maybe removed a few things
here and there.
Hypocritical Principals?
As said in the 2016 Platform
we condemned liberal judges taking
Congresses’ power of purse away by
ordering higher taxes. To continue in
the tradition of condemning taking
away Congresses’ power of purse
President Trump recently declared a
National Emergency to circumvent
Congress on funding the border wall.

is not transparent and needs to be
audited so we gave a plan, a plan that
has a first step and no more, we
planned to audit the FED annually,
our plans did not go far and didn’t get
support and died in the Senate.
Increasing the Federal Debt
In the 2016 Platform we said
our national debt is a huge burden on
our economy, and the Obama
administration placed a burden on the
future generations by increasing it.
We claimed we would vigorously
pursue the repayment of the trillions
of dollars we owe. Starting with the

Judges
We believe we should appoint
conservative minded Judges to the
Supreme Court, that did happen with
Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.
We also believe we need to get Senate
approval for international agreements
and alliances. President Trump pulled
out of many but has not made any
without Senate approval.

We Don’t Like Gays

We believe marriage is between
one man and one woman. We
condemn the Supreme court rulings
that gave gay rights such as
Obergefell v. Hodges. Now
Americans have been robbed of their
authority to decide whose love is
better and now has to deal with all the
gay people and their having equal
rights.
Something About Privacy
We called for a repeal of The
Foreign Account Tax Compliance
Act. We believe it results in seizure of
personal financial information without
reasonable suspicion or probable
cause. So far, we have failed to really
do anything about this.

essentially killed, and in 2017 the
Trump Administration approved the
plan though construction has been
halted by Federal Judges.
We planned to amend the Equal
Access to Justice Act to cap and
disclose payments made to
environmental activists. So far, a bill
was passed in the House and is sitting
in the Senate and has been for almost
a year now. We also planned to stop
the EPA from regulating carbon
dioxide, that also has gone
nowhere. We said we would
give Congress the authority to
make the National Ambient
Air Quality Standards, can
you guess what happened to
that? Nothing. Moving on to
the U.N., we demanded that
the United States should immediately
halt funding to The U.N.’s
Framework Convention on Climate
Change (UNFCCC). So far, the
Republican Senate has approved
funds for the UNFCCC.

Increasing the Dangers
We said we would restore our
nation’s military and support keeping
American superiority. We said we
would undo Obama era damage to our
military, which we really had no
example of what he did to damage our
military other than from moving from
a budget-based strategy to one that
puts our nation first. So, I guess the
damage he did was making sure our
military operations did not cost more
than our budget...which sounds like a
good idea. We would abandon arms
control treaties that benefit our
adversaries without helping our own
national security. We did somewhat
do this in the pulling out of the Iran
nuclear deal, whether it was a good
thing or a bad thing we will have to
wait and see. And the suspension of
the Nuclear arms control treaty with
Russia. We also interestingly enough
have claimed to end the policy of
Mutually Assured Destruction. Now
our enemies can nuke us without the
fear of nuclear retaliation except as
usual this has not been done at all.
Trump called for the modernization of
our nuclear capabilities thus is

nuclear modernization. We also

with our allies have never been worse

all, European leaders are calling for a
True European Army, thus trying to
lessen their dependence on the United
States for protection.
Money for War
We wanted to increase the
Military budget, in 2018 the Senate
approved the budget of 716 billion
dollars for 2019, this is an 82 billion
dollar increase from 2017.
Cleaning Up Bush’s Middle East
Because of the agreement with
Iran was not approved by Senate it is
non-binding and only benefits Iran
and their funding of terrorism
worldwide. This we promised to
immediately pull out of this
agreement and President Trump on
May 8, 2018 announced he was
withdrawing from the Iran Nuclear
deal thus filling the promise in the
2016 Platform. ISIS was a great threat

 Republican Platform Revised 2019
Conclusion
Since the writing of the Republican Platform in 2016 the Republican party has
been greatly ineffective at governing. With control of both Houses of Congress and
the Presidency a lot more of the promises should have been keep or at least
compromised upon. Instead much talk has been made and not much acted upon.
Though quite a few promises have been kept it still is not what the American
people wanted when Trump said he would be working constantly and would be the
most effective President in history. The Trump Presidency was not the most
effective and has been called the laziest in modern history. What it has
accomplished though was shaking up the Republican Party, as seen in the
midterms America is turning towards the Democratic Party, we lost the House and
only have a small hold on the Senate. Trump himself went back on many of his
campaign promises that were very popular to his loyal supporters such as locking
up Hilary Clinton, Mexico paying for the Wall, repairing Americas infrastructure
and most importantly,
Making America Great Again.
