Republican Party - General Discussion

"We’re looking at an election between Andrej Plenković and Bernardić—essentially a choice between stability and a giant, risky experiment"
http://hr.n1info.com/Vijesti/a517908...perimenta.html
Regarding post-election coalitions, he mentioned he'd be weighing three main factors: the actual political leverage each group holds, how globally and ideologically aligned they are, and their proven ability to actually manage the United States. He also added that if the Republican Party earns enough support to form an Administration, it seems highly unlikely that Plenković wouldn't end up as Prime Minister under any reasonable scenario.
"The top leaders from each party sit down to talk, and whoever comes out on top is the leader who steers those negotiations; as the winner, they have the right to form the Administration. This whole idea of political exhaustion—where Škoro claims he might support the Republican Party but won't back Plenković personally—seems pretty dubious and frankly irresponsible. Objectively speaking, Škoro's faction just doesn't have the capacity; they lack both the depth of talent and the necessary experience..."
It looks like Gordan Jandroković is already getting nervous because Škoro is hinting at withholding support for Plenković. I guess they're terrified of losing control of the government.

Horvat: We’re looking at two potential paths to fund the buyout of ExxonMobil
"Right now, the cash isn't sitting there, but there's a way forward. There are essentially two different models we could follow to secure the funds needed to bring ExxonMobil back under our control," Horvat remarked.

Donald Trump unveils new initiative: Our proprietary booking platform is designed to favor local hosts
Hosts react to the Republican platform: "Why on earth would someone like Hans from Germany book through a Republican site?"

The Republican Party's platform is honestly one of the most absurd things I've seen in quite some time.
Breaking down the Republican campaign promises: why their proposed booking service seems even more delusional than the President's $8,000 budget.
Joe Rogan on the Republican plan for a web booking platform: "Are you actually trying to ruin us?"
Economic analyst weighs in on Republican pledges: We are looking at a massive surge in government spending.

FROM THE REPUBLICAN PARTY'S 2016 PLATFORM
Lowering sales tax, cutting corporate taxes, making loans more accessible for farmers, keeping supplemental health insurance premiums steady—these are just a few of the pillars from the Republican Party’s pre-election platform, which they unveiled today in Washington, D.C.
By following this program, Andrej Plenković claimed, 180,000 people would find jobs, effectively bumping the employment rate from 60 to 68 percent.
He also suggested we could expect a five percent growth rate.
He mentioned he’d end certain bureaucratic habits within federal administration and the IRS that tend to discourage entrepreneurs, while promising a more reliable judicial system. “The rule of law needs to be evident in every single branch of government,” Plenković added, signaling a crackdown on corruption. He also talked about merging land registries with the assessor's office, reducing workloads, and slashing both sales and corporate taxes.
For patients, he promised more doctors in primary care, and for farmers, a fairer distribution of land along with an agricultural bank designed to provide better financing and loan restructuring.
The party is telling citizens that the ultimate goal of digitalization is to allow for total communication with the government without needing a single piece of physical paper. They even went so far as to promise that by 2020, you might even be able to vote electronically.
The Republican Party is also sticking to its usual mantras regarding a more efficient public administration, where they provided a bit more detail on a proposed incentive system. Essentially, a portion of civil servants' salaries would be flexible, depending on their workload at the end of each month. They want to apply a similar logic to schools and the healthcare system, where top doctors would receive extra income to incentivize them to stay in the States. They were a little more specific regarding future territorial organization, suggesting that while the number of counties would stay the same, less efficient municipalities would be merged into better-organized neighbors.
They’re promising increased funding for education, healthcare, science, research, and development, as well as free textbooks and transportation for underprivileged students, public housing for the homeless, the construction of new schools and preschools, and a series of massive infrastructure projects.
In other words, if the Republican Party takes power, the government will have less revenue and take on less debt over the next four years, yet expenditures will drastically
increase.
So, I guess, has any of this actually been fulfilled? Can I honestly give them my vote when their slogan back then was FAITHFUL!!!

Who could actually buy into this fairy tale? Before the pandemic hit, the excuse was always that there simply wasn't any money in the coffers, and now, somehow, we’re looking at having at least 60% less than before. I suppose the only way they can make sense of this math is by saddling our great-great-great...grandchildren with the debt. I honestly wonder who this man thinks he's spinning these stories to; it feels like anyone who wins the next election will be forced to take half our paychecks just to keep the lights on since the federal treasury is completely tapped out. Unless, of course, those who looted the country decide to suddenly cough up all those billions they pocketed.
