im all for conceal carry being national. Id much prefer people conceal than open and I think we shouldn't make it difficult to do so. hopefully he does do that, I think he has the potential to speak to gun owners and get across some of the sensible things democrats couldnt out of fear, but then again im not sure hes really for some of those either. I think the same article said something about mental health as well, so im on board with that one as well.

Things I like.

• [B]a 5 year-ban on White House and Congressional officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government service
• I will announce our withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership
• Affordable Childcare and Eldercare Act. Allows Americans to deduct childcare and elder care from their taxes, incentivizes employers to provide on-side childcare services, and creates tax-free Dependent
• Care Savings Accounts for both young and elderly dependents, with matching contributions for low-income families.

As you said wicked very ambitious. I don't see much or any of it happening though.

There is already a deduction for child care, and elder dependent care.

The best thing Trump can do is start off with a highway and infrastructure bill filled with pork to get the jobs and money flowing. Dems and Repugs could definitely get behind that

Certainly, tweets like this will be deleted before his 100 days are up...?

There are two kinds of pols...

Ones that secretly love pork, and ones that hate pork that fattens up someone else's district.

Didn't realize there was. Maybe because I don't have children or elderly dependents.

Technically yes, but its rather flawed.

Since I stay home with the kids and do not have income, we do not qualify for either. I send my kids to day care three days a week and my father in law has terrible Parkinsons, requiring constant in home care.

I cannot claim the money spent on day care or anything on him because I am married and do not have income. In order to take the credit, I'd have to have earned income.

This. I saw in the other thread someone criticize Clinton for not saying what she was gonna do, but then saying Trump had a vision.

I don't find either candidate laid our their platform. So I would criticze both for that.

I guess they could expand it, but it does already exist.
But I must say, I'd much rather simplify the tax code and reduce taxes than complicate it more to reduce taxes.

Unfortunately I don't think there is anyway to simplify the tax code.
