Priorities for the Next U.S. President
- Jeff Green forecasts 40 years of stagnant middle-class wages driven by globalization and technology, predicting AI, machine learning, and robotics will displace the white-collar workforce within five to ten years.
- A $1.2 trillion infrastructure investment is planned over three years, partially funded by a one-year 15% tax on repatriated funds generating $300 billion, with the remaining $900 billion financed by 3%, 20-year tax-free bonds.
- The repatriation of $2 trillion and the associated infrastructure spending are expected to create over 10 million jobs paying between $20 and $40 per hour.
- A "Great Teachers Bill" will tax public school teachers' income to zero and mandate a national school schedule of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. five days a week.
- A bipartisan commission will be appointed to study a guaranteed minimum income for Americans by age 25, funded by a 5% consumption tax on non-essentials and savings from eliminating current bureaucracy.
- Eliminating existing public assistance programs is projected to cover approximately half the cost of the guaranteed income plan, with a "utopian outcome" including cheaper healthcare and clean energy anticipated within 10 years.
- Tillman Fertitta aims to fix healthcare, the economy, and other sectors within a four-year term, utilizing a 20% personal flat tax, reduced corporate taxes, and a one-time reduced repatriation rate contingent on domestic investment.
- Healthcare reforms include tax credits for small employers to join the open market, tort reform, telemedicine, and reduced corporate taxes on healthcare companies to lower premiums and drug costs.
- Fertitta plans to streamline EPA and OSHA regulations, eliminate Dodd-Frank constraints on construction lending, and privatize the Post Office to facilitate domestic investment.
- Fertitta pledges to enforce free trade, stop defense budget cuts, reinvigorate space and Star Wars technology, and appoint a data czar to combat electronic theft.
- Fertitta intends to pass amnesty for law-abiding illegal aliens while deporting criminals, prevent gun access for the mentally ill, and limit government interference in personal spaces.
- Ellen Townsher targets the completion of a massive $3 trillion infrastructure bill by 2026 to address deferred maintenance, using a one-time 15% capital gains repatriation tax to fund an infrastructure bank within 90 days.
- Townsher plans to intervene in Syria two years prior to current events and cooperate with allies on intelligence and troop matching.
- Anticipating Supreme Court vacancies from Justices Scalia and Ginsburg, Townsher intends to offer moderate and liberal nominees while expecting a Democratic Senate sweep and a narrowed House majority to prioritize climate action.
- Townsher proposes a new "No Child Left Behind" Act using block grants for measured outcomes without strict testing, while signing the TPP and TAFTA agreements to open markets.
- Townsher plans to redraw congressional lines via citizen commissions following the 2021 census and expects the current administration's coal plant regulations to be ruled unconstitutional.
- Frank Luntz proposes banning suits and ties, requiring all candidates to sign specific platforms, and eliminating moderators from debates to enforce accountability.
- Luntz plans a global initiative to stop teaching hate in schools and to reward teacher success based on merit, including a specific pardon for Mike Milken within 24 hours of taking office.
- Luntz predicts his veteran voucher plan will fail due to bureaucratic resistance and public backlash resulting from his use of profanity on national television.
- The group of former presidents predicts $2.1 trillion in corporate cash will be repatriated and invested in future industries.
- Fertitta forecasts the greatest US economic growth in history, projecting a balanced budget and the retirement of the national deficit, while predicting education reforms will rank US 15-year-olds number one in literacy.
- Fertitta predicts a "new USSR" called the United States of Russia will emerge from international cooperation failures, whereas Green predicts the elimination of ISIS within the first year and peak relations with allies.
- Townsher predicts Vladimir Putin will continue disrupting Europe, though cooperation on issues like Syria remains possible.
- Townsher remains undecided on the success of the Affordable Care Act pending market stability, while Green anticipates his national service and guaranteed income programs will succeed in preparing youth for the workforce.
- Fertitta predicts his data security systems will eliminate breaches, while Green anticipates an economic boom necessitating increased demand for restaurants and car repair shops.
