Completely open borders. No pleading with U.S. officials to “let in” more immigrants. No comprehensive immigration reform plan. Dismantle the Border Patrol, ICE, and all restrictions on the free movements of people, goods, and services crossing borders, back and forth. End a major part of the federal government’s massive and vicious killing machine. 

Abolish Social Security immediately. No plan for saving, preserving, fixing, reforming, privatizing, or phasing out this socialist program. Freedom and voluntary charity work. They do not need to be feared. Everyone would be fine.

Abolish Medicare and Medicaid, two massive socialist programs that destroyed the finest healthcare system in history. Abolish the Centers for Disease Control, end the Covid mandates and lockdowns, and separate heathcare and the state entirely. No “health-savings accounts,” “Obamacare,” or other healthcare reform measures. Instead, the immediate eradication of healthcare socialism from our midst. 

Dismantle the national-security state, the part of the federal government that wields omnipotent, totalitarian-like powers, specifically the Pentagon, the CIA, and the NSA. Restore our founding governmental system of a limited-government republic, with a relatively small military force designed to mobilize the nation in the unlikely event that a foreign nation were ever to invade the United States. Abandon all foreign military bases, including Guantanamo Bay, and bring all U.S. troops home from everywhere and discharge them into the private sector. 

Lift all sanctions and embargoes, including against Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, and all the rest. They are just part of the federal government’s massive and vicious killing machine. Restore normal and harmonious relations with every foreign regime, including Russia and China.

The supply of gold is governed by nature; it is not, like the supply of paper money, subject merely to the schemes of demagogues or the whims of politicians. Nobody ever thinks he has quite enough money. Once the idea is accepted that money is something whose supply is determined simply by the printing press, it becomes impossible for the politicians in power to resist the constant demands for further inflation. Gold may not be a theoretically perfect basis for money; but it has the merit of making the money supply, and therefore the value of the monetary unit, independent of governmental manipulation and political pressure.
