The little I've heard from Trump on health-care was decent. Eliminate regional insurance monopolies and allow competition to drive prices downwards. Bernie Sanders wants to control costs by squeezing doctors, the problem is that they aren't overpaid and reducing the incentive for having competent medical professionals is asinine.
The problem is that Trump has very little to say about anything else of consequence. "Deport the illegals!" is not a realistic policy objective, nor is a 45% tariff on China. The wall is a non-issue. He has made some ridiculous claims to get media time, he needs to own up to that.
Securing the border is a no brainer and shouldn't even be a issue. I wouldn't support deporting all illegal immigrants. If you are a criminal you need to be permanently deported. If you have no record, some sort of fine and possible path to permanent residents should be established.
I like that he wants to "do business" with Putin, i like that he isn't a hawk. We don't need more wars and more expenditures. We don't need to buy off allies by dumping billions in so called aid. As i'v said before i'm for economic nationalism. There's no reason for us to run 350 billion dollar deficits with China. We need to encourage domestic output. We need to be more like Germany, they're the powerhouse of Europe because of how strong their exports are. I also agree that we need to bring those trillions back into the states. There's no reason the profits that are made off the american taxpayer are being squirreled away in tax havens.
