The USD has become a world trade currency that ever more countries use for export/import transactions.
If Trump never spends a dime, the OBAMA debt (more debt then all presidents before him combined) will grow and be ever more impossible to pay. The dollar is going up because each dollar in circulation has to pay $6 worth of debt. The best way to fix this problem is to simply write down the value of that debt. Let the holders of that debt take a loss. Same applies to the holders of overpriced stock. Let interest rates go up. Let the overvaluation of everything go down to make it more reasonably priced and affordable. There is a reason why Obama implemented a strategy to overwhelm all systems of entitlements. It is to remove the entitlements from government hands into private hands. In the future, if you want an entitlement you will have to pay for it yourself instead of the taxpayer. How stupid can a person be to have social security deducted from the paycheck and put into a non-negotiable bond that represents the money from social security that went into Treasury Bonds to pay everyday bills with. In 2015 alone more then $389 Billion dollars was borrowed to make the social security payments.
Mostly what will happen this year is Trump is going to continue to say "drug prices are too high" and will push to have the government subsidized drug market leverage their immense buying power to reduce drug prices. That'll be Trump's push, because that's just common sense. It's how business works (it's how Walmart does it). So why not Medicare/Medicaid/ACA? Trump is going to phase out the ACA mandate and the ACA taxes. Trump is going to reduce the debt by writing the value of that debt down. Trump is going to reduce tax rates but increase overall taxes by removing many deductibles. Trump is going to undo what the water over the gate idiot president did by repricing gold to a much higher price and use the proceeds of that increase to pay down debt.
