Question: How Can Trump Make the Country Great Again for Business?

President Trump has made, and continues to make
a lot of promises to all Americans about taxes and
the economy. Throughout his campaign the
president continued to push his “Make America
Great Again” slogan to the delight of all those who
helped him get elected. Obviously, his message
resonated with enough people in the right places in
order for him to win the White House. Since he
took office he has been busy with many issues,
including immigration and healthcare reform. At the
same time, there continues to be a lot of talk
regarding tax reform, including how it will affect
the business world the and nation’s economy.
It’s All About Jobs
Time will tell if real change is coming and who will
be the most affected by it, but the business world
is eagerly waiting for those promised changes to
come. So with that in mind, what things should the
president be focusing on to truly make the country
great again for business? The real key is to start
by creating more jobs in the United States.
However, it’s not just more jobs, but the president
and his administration need to create more good
jobs. So how will they accomplish that?
Start With Infrastructure
Our country is lagging in infrastructure. Our basic
organizational and physical facilities and
structures, such as freeways, highways and airport
systems all need improvement. When compared to
emerging market economies and countries it’s
clear that the U.S.’s infrastructure is not
something that can be overlooked. Improving this
would no doubt increase jobs across many levels.
Create and Promote New Industries
One of the greatest ways to increase jobs and
improve the economy is by encouraging new
innovations. If you consider just a few of the new
industries that have been created in the last
decade, it’s easy to see how many more new jobs
could be created if other new industries emerge as
well. For example, consider the impact of things
like social media, Internet retail, electric
automobiles and virtual reality. More new industries
such as these could lead to millions of jobs and
billions of dollars.
Consider Middle America
There are several changes that could change
Middle America, or the Middle Class, and help
increase jobs. For example, focusing on growing
middle-market companies could be a huge boost
for job growth. Likewise, giving the middle class a
large tax break would help improve the economy
and in turn increase job production. Another step in
this direction is to move certain industries to
middle America. One idea is to create and fund a
Rural Industrialization Act, which would move many
jobs back to rural areas in the country. In addition,
by expanding and building on the Small Business
Act of 2013 the administration could also help
promote new job creation.
Expand Immigration
Lastly, although the new administration has been
very outspoken and active in reducing the number
of immigrants to our country, there are several
industries that could use even more. Many of the
most highly skilled and intelligent people in the
technology industry come from other countries. By
allowing more of these individuals to live and work
here, the advancements in many industries could
be improved, which could have a positive affect on
employment and the economy.
