The following is a KSCO commentary.  Here is Kay Zwerling:

          Because I respect, value, and agree with much of Donald Trump’s opinions and know he loves our Country as I do, I will use his current advice from his new book as this week’s commentary.

          Donald Trump is relentless when it comes to opposing Barack Obama and his policies. 

          He believes an Obama second term in the White House would be devastating for the United States.   

          We have many threats, he says, and the biggest threat is Obama. 

          Trump believes that stopping Obama is crucial.

          He argues that dealing with OPEC’s illegal cartel and lowering oil prices is key to turning around the U.S. and global economies. 

          He also says he would slap a 25% tax on all imports from OPEC nations.  A prime example is China.  It is devaluing their currency to give themselves a competitive trade advantage.

          Trump says he will hit China with a 25% tariff on all goods imported to the U.S. 

          He also advocates a 20% tax on all domestic companies that outsource their jobs overseas.

          He further says, I love free trade, but free trade is no good if you do not have smart people making deals for you with other countries.

          Trump is worth $7 Billion (with a B).  

          He wants to save Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.  And, you do that, he says, by creating a strong economy.

Trump further favors eliminating the death tax, as I surely do, which he calls immoral and a jobs killer.   He wants to lower taxes on capital gains and dividends and reduce the U.S. corporate rate from 39% to zero to encourage domestic business growth.   And, he would levy a 20% tax on all companies who outsource jobs overseas. 

          Trump contends that Congress should throw out Obamacare.   It cannot be reformed, salvaged, or fixed – it is that bad!   And, that 2700-page Bill is hurting job creations.  

          Now, about illegal immigration – Trump calls living in America, the greatest blessing a person could ever receive, and I totally agree with that, and he wants a serious border fence.  He supports tough enforcement when illegals are arrested and opposes efforts to grant in-state tuition to undocumented students.  

          And finally, Trump also says he wants to remain a player in the Presidential race because he is fighting for Common Sense and American Values.   And, I suspect he might even still run for President in the Summer of 2012. 

          So, these are Trump’s thoughts with which I mostly agree. 

For KSCO, this is Kay Zwerling.

If we must revoke the affordable care act, the we must keep it in place until a better serving healthcare plan can be put in place. We can't go back to what was: no rejection if you have a preexisting condition-you really want to undo that? How about parents with their kids in college now covered until they are aged 27. You want that undone, too. That's nuts

Obama's Affordable Care Act is a compromise. It could have been better if not digested by Congress and lobbyists along the way. I hear that the animal which was designed by committee is the elephant. Still, I'd rather have the Affordable Care Act than the current system which is most likely what we would keep if we threw out Obama Care.

You say you would rather we get the care that Congress people get. That would be great, but their Cadillac plan would be so expensive that it would break the bank to try and extend it to the rest of us. That is unless we took their plan away from them and brought Congress down to our level.

Who ever tries to reform Health care will have a struggle. I think Obama has done about the best he can, given the Congress and economic situation.

Best thing is for the public to try and stay healthy to keep costs down. Exercise and eat right to stay healthy, like the term baby bloomer, rather than baby boomer.
