The Stock Market is teetering on the edge of meltdown because of the uncertainty of a trade deal between the US and China. The Trump administration needs to wrap up a solid deal quickly, to avoid permanent damage to the economy. An effective trade deal will address the trade imbalance between China and the US, creating jobs, while injecting confidence into the markets and provide some badly needed stability. This will buy some time to tackle the out of control and rapidly rising budget deficits and overall and monstrous debt.
As a candidate, Trump promised to find a way to bring the budget back into balance and then address the rapidly rising debt. In order to avoid a fiscal collapse, the President must fulfill that promise and work with Congress to rapidly and effectively bring the budget deficit to zero and then find a way to begin paying down the 21 Trillion dollar debt. To achieve this, the President and Congress must work together to effectively reform Social Security and bring down the rapidly rising cost of healthcare.
