  Secure the rights to life, liberty, property & privacy; eliminate the extreme leftist ratchet:

* repeal vile, hateful, unconstitutional national socialist ObummerDoesn'tCare (do NOT replace it)

* block unconstitutional national socialist RyanAndMcConnellDon'tCare

* reform regulation and taxation of charities (differentiate genuine charities from political campaign organizations and crony socialist cabals) and encourage, without subsidizing, mutual benefit associations

* cut immigration/green cards/LPR visas to no more than 175K/year (about what John F. Kennedy thought was reasonable)

* cut O + L + H guest-work visas to no more than 5K/year (total)

* cut F student visas to no more than 10K/year (total) and OPT to 500/year for a term of no more than 3 months

* end visa waivers (everyone must pass a conscientious background investigation, regardless of country of birth or citizenship or most recent residence)

* fence/wall the borders

* terminate/eliminate permission to work from exchange / student exchange / cultural exchange visa programs (you can put on plays, pageants, dance, music, local craftsmanship & industry demonstrations, but not settle in to jobs in hotels, resorts, USA industries, craftsmanship, agriculture, etc.)

* phase out unconstitutional Medicaid & Medicare over 3 years

* phase out the unconstitutional Socialist Insecurity Abomination over 5 years

* end government subsidies for hospitals (and the attached strings)

* end government subsidies for scientific research (except for defense which should cover defense against biological warfare & epidemics)

* repeal regressive income extortion (i.e. repeal 16th amendment; replace with national retail sales tax with hard-cap constitutional top rate of 9.875% structured as a levy on the states)

* revoke the charter of the CFPB and repeal the rest of Dodd-Frank

* revoke the charter of the Federal Reserve System and establish a stable, hard money

* repeal direct election of senators (repeal 17th amendment)

* repudiate biased, injust WTO, GATS/TiSA

* re-negotiate or statutorily repudiate/reset GATT & NAFTA

* totally de-fund UN, withdraw membership, and evict them and all their evil spawn from NY and the USA

* cut federal Department of Educationism back to statistical reporting of graduations, diplomas, degrees, and rates thereof (NCES)

* cut Department of Energy by one-third to one-half

* set normal import tariff/duties/taxes to a maximum cap of 9.875%, and MFN to a cap of 8%, dumping penalties to at most 50%, and fraud penalties to at most 120%, eliminate exemptions to bring back burden to between 40% & 65% of all goods and services imported into USA with the aim of reaching an overall weighted average rate of 8%-12.5%

* adopt honest Country of Origin Label requirement for USA products and all imports to USA, requiring readable percentage of origin content for up to top 10 places of origin of parts & materials

* beef up export bans and restrictions for national security and to fight intellectual property robbery and fraud

* cut or eliminate HUD, HHS, NIH, CDCP, NSF; limit and focus their funding and work on constitutional functions & objectives

  "The Babylonian Talmud tells the story of 3 rabbis talking in the presence of a Roman spy during the AD132 up-risings.   The 1st rabbi praised the Romans for providing bridges & beautiful cities, the 2nd rabbi was silent, but the 3rd rabbi said all these things were done to collect Roman taxes.   The Romans responded by exalting the 1st rabbi, banishing the 2nd, & ordering the death penalty for the 3rd." --- Charles Adams 1993 _For Good & Evil_ pg 48

DoL caught Cisco discriminating against USA citizen STEM college/university grads... to get cheaper, young, low-skilled foreign labor with flexible ethics
A nice video by a foreign student (F+OPT) turned H-1B (divyanthj) describing the whole pipe-line and how the bodyshopping scam works, how bodyshoppers help fabricate fake resumes for those in their stables, but written "requirements" have little connection with knowledge & skills actually needed to do the work well.   He sketches out a model that involves the end client, a vendor bodyshop and the other end bodyshop (which he calls the "Desi companies").   (And he's wearing a passable dark tech humor T-shirt.)   Though he seems unaware that there are UK & USA based bodyshops which are not totally cross-border bodyshops.   "End up with sloppy job requirements by the vendors...a few rounds of simple interviews everybody ended up happy... On paper, I was an expert; but in practical sense, I was desperate.   The fact that I was an expert on paper and the fact that I was desperate in real life had to be kept separate.   They couldn't be integrated and put together because of all the complicated requirements related to the H-1B."   This guy might deserve a green card.

  "The fact is that the Great Depression, like most other periods of severe unemployment, was produced by government mis-management rather than by any inherent instability of the private economy.   A governmentally established agency -- the Federal Reserve System -- had been assigned the responsibility for monetary policy.   In 1930 and 1931, it exercised its responsibility so ineptly as to convert what otherwise would have been a moderate contraction into a major catastrophe...   the severity of each of the major contractions [since the Federal Reserve System was chartered] -- 1920-1921, 1929-1933, and 1937-1938 -- is directly attributable to acts o comission and omission by the Reserve authorities and would not have occurred under earlier monetary and banking arrangements.   There might well have been recessions on these or other occasions, but it is highly unlikely that any would have developed into a major contraction...   The Great Depression... far from being a sign of the inherent instability o the private enterprise system, is a testament to how much harm can be done by mistakes on the part of a few men when they wield vast power over the monetary system of a country." --- Milton Friedman 2002 _Capitalism & Freedom_ pp38, 45, 50 (quoted in Mark Reed Levin 2017 _ReDiscovering Americanism: And the Tyranny of Regressivism_ pp218-219; see also Milton Friedman & Anna J.

If you are no longer employed by the federal government in a job that requires you to access security secrets on a need-to-know-basis, and you are not employed by a contractor doing work for the federal government which requires you to have access to such information, then you have no business having a security clearance.   Once the job ends, the security clearance should end...at least within a few weeks (as a generous courtesy, to give you the chance to land another such job without going through the screening process ab initio).

  "The ancient Greeks gave mythic form to this fact that ruled their lives. The goddess of memory (Mnemosyne) was a Titan, daughter of Uranus (Heaven) and Gaea (Earth), and mother of all the 9 muses. In legend these were Epic Poetry (Calliope), History (Clio), Flue playing (Euterpe), Tragedy (Malpomene), Dancing (Terpsichore), the Lyre (Erato), Sacred Song (Polyhymnia), Astronomy (Urania), and Comedy (Thalia). When the 9 daughters of king Pierus challenged them in song, the king's daughters were punished by being changed into magpies, who could only sound monotonous repetition. Everyone needed the arts of Memory, which, like the other arts, could be cultivated. The skills of Memory could be perfected, and virtuosi were admired... The inventor of the mnemonic art was said to be the versatile Greek lyric poet Simonides of Ceos (c. 556-468BCE). He was reputed also to be the first to accept payment for his poems." --- Daniel J. Boorstin 1985 _The Discoverers: An History of Man's Search to Know His World and Himself_ pg480

  "As explained by analysts such as Michael Borrus and Dieter Ernst of the Berkeley RoundTable on the International Economy, the demise of the US consumer electronics industry by the early 1980s had left a critical void in the US manufacturing base [if you believe the tech execs]. The skills to develop and manufacture memory chips, displays, precision components, and other essential pieces of electronics systems became increasingly rare in the US economy. However, they were alive and well not only in Japan, but in SE Asia, where US multi-nationals had been out-sourcing more and more sophisticated production and technology in order to meet price competition from Japan, and in response to the extensive set of barriers and incentives discussed previously." --- Alan Tonelson 2000 _The Race to the Bottom_ pg126

  "The 2 leading schools of advocates for property rights, those of the eastern merchants & of the southern planters, collided over slavery.   The issue arose when the Convention reached the problem of a basis of representation for the lower House; it came up again over the apportionment of taxation; & indirectly when the taxation & representation of the populations of the future western states had to be determined.   It was no part of the doctrines of Gouverneur Morris that the rights of men to security in the property they had inherited or earned included a right to property in other men, particularly in a gov't which claimed to have been founded in defence of liberty.   He waxed eloquent & bitter in his denunciations of slavery, of the slave trade, & of any compromise that would give countenance to either." --- J.R.

  "There are 2 more points of difference between the 2 kinds of individualism which are also best illustrated by the stand taken by [John Emerich Edward Dalberg lord Acton] and [Alexis de Tocqueville] by their view on democracy and equality towards trends which become prominent in their time.   True individualism not only believes in democracy but can claim that democratic ideals spring from the basic principles of individualism.   Yet, while individualism affirms that all government should be democratic, it has no superstitious belief in the omni-competence of majority decisions, and in particular it refuses to admit that 'absolute power may, by the hypothesis of popular origin, be as legitimate as constitutional freedom'.   It believes that under a democracy, no less than under any other form of government, 'the sphere of enforced command ought to be restricted within fixed limits'; and it is particularly opposed to the most fateful and dangerous of all current misconceptions of democracy -- the belief that we must accept as true and binding for future development the views of the majority.   While democracy is founded on the convention that the majority view decides on common action, it does not mean that what is today the majority view ought to become the generally accepted view -- even if that were necessary to achieve the aims of the majority.   On the contrary, the whole justification of democracy rests on the fact that in coure of time what is today the view of a small minority may become the majority view..." --- Friedrich August Hayek 1948, 1949, 1980, 1996, 2012 _Individualism & Economic Order_ pg29 (quoted in Mark Reed Levin 2017 _ReDiscovering Americanism: And the Tyranny of Regressivism_ pp202-203)
