Trump Policies Follow Principles of Economic Greatness

The US economy became great because we encouraged individual freedom, individual responsibility, low rates of taxation and a limited role for government. Trump’s policies follow those principles.

President-elect Trump has suggested a number of economic policies that he will work with Congress to implement early into his presidency. All of his policies are consistent with the core principles that made America the economic powerhouse that it is today. What are those principles?

The U.S. went from the birth of the nation to the largest, most prosperous economy in the world in about 150 years. Other nations were hundreds, and in some cases thousands, of years older. Yet the U.S. accomplished this feat because we followed some basic principles.

In fact, when the U.S. strayed from these principles, like what occurred in the prior administration, economic problems developed which led to social problems developing also.

Individual Freedom

The U.S. economic policies were geared toward individual freedom. Basically, as long as an individual did not infringe upon the rights of any other individual, a person was free to pursue their own interests. This freedom allowed every willing American to “follow their dreams” no matter what those dreams may be.
