The TPPF Take: President Trump’s energy policies are key to reviving our economy. Vice President Biden’s plan would destroy jobs and raise energy costs.
“The Trump administration’s deregulatory policies, combined with a rapidly innovating domestic energy industry, led to the U.S. becoming a net exporter of petroleum products in 2019, for the first time since 1949,” says TPPF’s Chuck DeVore. “This surge in American energy production has saved Americans more than $200 billion a year on energy costs for their cars, trucks, homes and businesses.”
The TPPF Take: There’s no evidence the assault weapons ban decreased homicide rates. What’s more, efforts to disarm Americans would put the police in a bad position.
“As the election nears, the call for policymakers to ‘do something’ about gun crime has steadily grown louder,” says TPPF’s Derek Cohen. “But the truth is that none of the policies being proposed are likely to have a meaningful impact. Moreover, police officers have sworn an oath to uphold state and federal constitutions and local, state, and federal laws. What are they to do if ordered to break that oath? In order to accomplish these policy aims, state and local law enforcement agencies would need to be pressed into service.”
The TPPF Take: Trump’s vision for health care puts power in the hands of patients—not big government.
“Trump has consistently resisted a government takeover of medicine and is looking to create an environment where patients can be in charge of their health care decisions,” says TPPF’s David Balat. “Biden, in his commitment to broadening the ACA, is focused on benefiting the insurance industry and its lobbyists. The direction of the president’s policies is more in line with helping the patient by focusing on making things affordable. Obamacare didn’t do anything to bring down the cost of care; in fact, it did the complete opposite.”
The TPPF Take: Our gains at the border under President Trump teeter in the balance.
“Joe Biden has promised that if he’s elected president, he will set in motion on Day One the largest dismantling of U.S. immigration law enforcement in the history of the republic,” says TPPF’s Ken Oliver. “This is only the beginning of what will be a wholesale breakdown in immigration law enforcement, along with an ensuing tidal wave of illegal immigration, under a Biden administration.”
