我作为众议院多数党党鞭,我的职责是团结各方,确保议程顺利推进。这需要协调各方观点,克服挑战,确保各项法案能够通过。 国会需要将特朗普总统的行政命令转化为法律,以防止未来政府撤销这些关键改革。这对于边境安全、经济稳定和全球事务至关重要。 民主党人对特朗普总统的政策缺乏理解,是因为他们没有倾听美国民众的诉求。7700万选民支持特朗普总统,是因为他们希望他解决经济问题、加强边境安全、打击犯罪以及稳定全球局势。 边境安全问题刻不容缓,必须通过立法来解决。我们需要确保类似的危机不再发生。 拜登政府很少邀请我参与两党合作解决问题。 特朗普总统是谈判高手,他善于激化矛盾,从而推动事情发展。在乌克兰问题上,必须与乌克兰进行谈判,才能达成和平协议。 西欧的经济停滞不前,他们的精英主义态度阻碍了问题的解决。媒体对特朗普政府的批评是不公正的。 Politico等媒体依赖政府补贴,其内容缺乏价值。 一些共和党议员对政府开支削减的力度表示担忧。 美国需要解决债务问题,必须削减开支。美国国际开发署(USAID)存在大量的浪费、欺诈和滥用行为。 美国需要制定一个计划来偿还债务并平衡预算。非政府组织(NGO)是政府开支浪费的主要受益者。 政府开支透明化将改变美国民众对政府开支的看法。共和党在过去十年中一直在识别政府浪费、欺诈和滥用行为,但现在有了新的方法来解决这个问题。 民主党人对政府开支的认识不足,他们没有意识到一些项目的开支可以用来资助其他项目。 过去四年,就业市场的激励机制是错误的,导致很多人选择不工作。美国的贫富差距数据被操纵了,实际情况与官方数据不符。 特朗普政府将恢复美国能源的生产,这将有助于美国经济发展。繁琐的审批流程导致美国住房短缺。 共和党支持延长减税政策。特朗普总统在共和党领导层选举中发挥了重要作用。 应该取消美国教育部,自1979年成立以来,美国教育部的存在并没有改善教育成果。取消教育部反而会节省政府开支。 共和党需要团结一致,完成其执政目标。共和党有机会赢得明尼苏达州的参议员席位,但这需要一位有影响力的人物、充足的资金以及特朗普的支持。
