& WHO will build these cities?Trump also pushed for a contest to design what he dubbed freedom cities 10 new urban areas built on federal land.
The former president said, too, that he would create hives of industry to manufacture goods that, under him, the U.S. would stop importing from China. And he said his government would implement baby bonuses, or cash to new parents that would help launch a new baby boom.
All of those proposals are part of what Trump called a quantum leap for the country.

(8,387 posts)Is how this guy manages to channel every danged crazy-ass dictator - this time with the vanity, by-decree city building projects - and that people fail to recognize what he is.
Its as if Linda Blair had Hitler, Mussolini, Ceausescu, Pinochet and Stalin taking turns in the Exorcist.

(32,093 posts)The new healthcare plan he promised that would replace Obamacare. Remember how we kept hearing over and over hell announce something big in two weeks?
Anyone foolish enough to believe anything he says he will do is just that
a fool.

(36,528 posts)he was busy legislating tax cuts for the corporations & the rich, tax cuts which don't expire like the ones for the rest of us do. My right wing cousins hate when I remind them of that.

(90,788 posts)He called his objectives "Battles", as in the battle for...whatever - all falling under his economic policy.
1. Battle for Grain - to make the country more self-sufficient.
2. Battle for Lira - to strengthen the currency of the country,
3. Battle for Land reclamation - to create more land mass. Expand land mass.
Mussolini was hoping to create an Italy that was comparable to the Roman Empire. (Make the Roman Empire Great Again) It was called Romanita - the restoration of the "new" Roman Empire.
He forced the working class out of the cities and placed them in rural areas so he could better watch over them/control and monitor their potential dissident behavior.
This was known as "reclaimed spaces". These spaces were used by Mussolini to hold rallies where he praised himself and his efforts.
4. Battle for Births - Duh. No birth control, no abortion, loans could be canceled for producing more children. Your taxes went down the more children you produced. Married men with a wifey at home producing children got special favors, while single men and women were disfavored, with many women being pushed out of jobs - to create an "incentive" to marry/produce children.
Stop me when this starts to sound familiar.

(115,869 posts)he wants people to have more babies? See, that's the thing: He wants more white babies. The immigrants he doesn't want aren't white.
