After 30 years of observing the outcomes of failed promises from both sides of the aisle, supported by real policies that have consistently deteriorated the quality of life for all Americans, I am DONE watching things get worse. We need common sense solutions, not lip service. We need shared goals, not partisan enemies. We need opportunity and innovation, not planned obsolescence or the outsourcing of jobs overseas. It's time to focus on a presidential agenda that prioritizes the American people, not political opinion or divisive rhetoric.
Look at the choices we've been given as a result of our two-party system. Career politicians who are either bat shit crazy, or so old that they're having strokes on camera and can barely walk, or represent a tired political opinion from circa 1950. It's debatable as to which is which, depending on your choice of programming on TV and social media exposure. Because of these influences, everyone's opinion seems like a forgone conclusion. I refuse to sit back and wear a colored hat, insisting that anyone wearing a different colored hat is an idiot, or to hate any of my fellow Americans, especially when I don't agree with them. Diversity and different perspectives are America's greatest strength, and we must recognize this as we seek common sense solutions to our challenges. Whether it's an executive agenda, the budget, or issues like ICE, we need to insist on responsible leadership and meaningful dialogue.
I will ensure that all Americans retain our freedoms, that we remain safeguarded from hyperinflation and price gouging, and that Washington, D.C. stays committed to providing common sense solutions and incentives for small and medium-sized American businesses to stimulate innovation and support our middle class. I will achieve this by enforcing robust antitrust regulations that prevent unfair market consolidation by mega-corporations. Additionally, I’ll eliminate subsidiary programs that prop up unsustainable business models and manipulate market prices, because that undermines true Capitalism and doesn't reflect America’s values.
I vow to restore the balance of power in Washington, D.C. putting the levers of influence back into the hands of the people where they rightly belong. I commit to reinstating the constraints of government authority explicitly outlined in the constitution and ending the violation of these constraints with illegitimate statutes and unethical prosecutions under unconstitutional authority. By executive order, I will redefine the primary purpose of all departmental agencies to be the protection of our people and our environment from institutions and any criminals that exploit them, ensuring that no individual American is denied their God-given rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
We are the United States of America! We are not corporate conglomerates or foreign interests, and we should not be divided by wealth, race, religion, or partisan politics. Nor should our laws merit any such division, unfairness, or unequal suffrage. We are a nation of free PEOPLE united in our commitment to remain peacefully free and prosperous for and unto ourselves and our posterity unencumbered or subject to or by or of any government unwilfully.
Having said that, I will reaffirm our commitment to the UN, NATO, WHO, Paris Accords, our many allies, and our great many treaties with them. While the United States remains one nation indivisible, I hold and remain steadfast in my belief that the United Nations continues to be the greatest chance we share at creating a world indivisible and at peace. We also have immediate and immense need of a great deal of ambassadors. What good are American embassies with no ambassadors to offer an ear and perchance assistance to our many friends, or to express interests of our own? I don't know why they were all recalled.
Have any of you asked yourselves yet; What are we all working toward, as a whole, as a nation, as a human race? What are we building here, and for whom? These questions resonate with common sense solutions for our collective future. It's not a socialist or communist inquiry, but rather the ultimate capitalist question: what's in it for me? Unfortunately, I have not heard a single leader, particularly not a politician or presidential candidate, effectively address this throughout my life. Most of them focus on wars, taxes, and this elusive concept called 'the economy.' But what are we truly doing here, folks? What does a better quality of life actually look like, and why aren’t we all working towards that together as a common goal?
It is high time that we define, as a nation of diverse people, what life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness truly mean. I would be honored to lead this conversation when you elect me, DC Kersey. Our elders used to know the answers, but it seems we’ve misplaced them. Just look at Congress—half of them seem out of touch, while the younger half are often silenced, forced to align with corporate lobbyists instead of representing constituents like us.
I will define and discuss, in a weekly address, what it means to have a good quality of life. This will be an ongoing political opinion shared with my fellow Americans, exploring the things that can and ought to be done for us all to reach a common goal in this grand pursuit of happiness. Together, we can obliterate any separatist or foreign agenda that threatens the soul of our nation, including the challenges posed by ICE.
At first glance, when you consider imports as a consumer, you might think, "Oh wow, cool! I can get this for so cheap." It’s mind-boggling how these items can be made and shipped from halfway around the world at such low prices, but they are, and we love it. You love it, right? Of course, we all appreciate affordable and nice things, and we should.
However, what if I told you that because we paid a little less than if we produced goods right here domestically, every dollar in our pockets is becoming worth less and less? The dollar is literally only worth half of what it was just a few years ago. How cheap is that stuff now? Our so-called "representatives" have "negotiated" a few years of cheap goods at the expense of our nation’s economic security. Just look around at how many towns in every state are devastated, with folks on welfare and jobs that barely pay enough to support a family of three on a single income. That’s not America, is it?
I’m not going to assign blame to any one person or party because the issue is systemic, rooted in globalization and decades-old foreign and financial policy decisions, including lopsided subsidies and tariffs, with outsourcing and consolidation making matters worse. This has left the Fed Reserve Bank in a precarious position, influenced by nations with poor economic stability largely due to their governments' excessive quantitative fiscal easing.
Do you know what happens when you double the amount of currency in a nation’s economy? Well, you do now. Was any of this in the best interest of America? Perhaps if you're a multinational corporation, but not for Americans as individuals, because now all our money is worth half of what it once was. Ask yourselves why the same groceries that cost $400/month in 2021 now cost $800. What happens to those who retired with just enough savings to live comfortably, now unable to work, and now find that all those decades of labor and saving and investing are only worth half? What occurs when all your future earning potential is halved? These are rhetorical questions because we are living through it.
How do we fix it?
Simple - Make everything the same value everywhere. And open free and fair trade everywhere.
Basically, If you can sell your cars to me then I can sell mine to you, or carrots, or mouse traps.
A more complex explanation is: We need to stop relying on an imbalanced trade system and curb the excessive printing of money. Here are the common sense solutions I propose:
I will order an investigation into all tariffs across business sectors, comparing them with domestic production costs to ensure imports do not have an unfair advantage over domestic manufacturing, and raise them where necessary. (This is something that should have been done all along without question.) But that’s just the start.
I will implement a transparent system irrevocably linking tariffs and subsidies to promote sustainable global trade while protecting the value of our dollar and our economy. This means that all tariff money collected will be earmarked specifically for exported goods and made available on demand to our exporters.
I will introduce incentives in the tax code, allowing domestic small businesses to increase inventories without paying tax on money earned and reinvested in that growth.
I will limit regulations on quantitative initiatives and fiscal practices to sound principles directly tied to population enumeration.
I will ensure no pricing is fixed on private markets or commodities due to government subsidies, keeping all agriculture, livestock, farming, and export sectors free from pricing controls. Additionally, I will restore robust antitrust laws to combat harmful business practices and encourage organic growth to secure jobs for our middle class.
You will start to be paid what you’re worth.
You will have the opportunity to compete in a free and fair American marketplace.
You will enjoy the same incentives and chances to invest in yourselves and build personal wealth for your families that large multinational conglomerates currently enjoy.
And you can begin living the American dream by building your lives and a future for your children, providing them with advantages and opportunities that surpass what we have now for ourselves.
It’s not that there’s a lot to fix; we just need to stop enabling corporate fascism and prevent foreign interests from actively destroying everything we’ve built for profit alone. We must agree on common sense governing for the people.
I can and will do exactly that. That’s what you get when you vote for DC Kersey as your #48 POTUS.
Anyone who has ever played the game of monopoly can tell you how business and banking consolidation ends. I, DC Kersey, am a firm supporter of a free and regulated capital market economy. It has been proven time and again that people, societies, and national economies thrive the most and enjoy the best quality of life when two things align: individuals have the opportunity to make the best of their circumstances, and harmful consolidation of businesses and markets is prevented through common sense solutions and logical regulation.
To protect America from all enemies, foreign and domestic, who relentlessly pursue corporate control over nation-states and undermine self-governance by the people, we cannot allow any level of consolidation beyond benign failure. No business, bank, or institution should be immune to failure in the United States. I will strengthen departmental authority to enforce antitrust laws and protect America, and in turn the global economy, from further catastrophic failures.
For more in-depth information on this and other aspects of my presidential agenda and Departmental Restructuring, see my blog.
Did you know that there are currently over 2000 open and active bills that are stalled in Congress? In business, we call that a clusterstuck, only with an F. Congress can't even agree to disagree on these issues. It’s time for common sense solutions to break this gridlock.
As part of my presidential agenda, I will file an executive order that immediately vetoes all active bills from previous congressional assemblies. Additionally, I will implement a standing veto by proclamation that limits the number of active bills to the current number of states, including and especially appropriations bills. Furthermore, I will instate Veto Pro Tempore Non Grata, ensuring that no bill remains active and unresolved beyond the currently elected body that introduced it. Any stalled bills shall be withdrawn and may be reintroduced by the newly elected Congress. Bills should be voted up or down and resolved within 90 days, period.
It's time to get back to the basics of governing, which means providing a clear and wide path for Congress to succeed in representing the people—not money (as the courts foolishly and incomprehensibly decided), not corporations, not monopolies. This is not just a political opinion; it’s a necessity for a functioning government.
Yeah, I have a few common sense solutions I'll be proposing. Each one aims to strengthen the binding limitations of government authority and purview, clarifying that all power resides with the people as sovereign and not as subjects.
