Embracing change over the next four years

As we approach the transition of administrations on January 20th, 2025, many businesses and individuals are grappling with feelings of uncertainty that often accompany change. With the incoming administration under Donald Trump, it’s essential to evaluate the current failed policies of the Biden administration and consider the proposed changes of the Trump administration that promise to prioritize the well-being of American citizens while maintaining a balanced perspective.

Here are eight areas of potential positive changes for individuals and businesses to consider while looking forward to the next four years:

1. **Economic Struggles**: Under Biden, inflation has surged, affecting everyday Americans. Proposed Change: Trump aims to reduce inflation through tax cuts and deregulation to stimulate economic growth.

2. **Border Crisis**: The situation at the southern border has worsened, with record numbers of illegal crossings. Proposed Change: Trump has proposed reinstating strict immigration policies and building more border barriers.

3. **Energy Independence**: The U.S. has seen increased energy prices and reliance on foreign oil. Proposed Change: Trump plans to promote energy independence by expanding fossil fuel production and rolling back restrictive regulations.

4. **Foreign Policy**: The Biden administration has faced criticism for its handling of global conflicts and alliances, often prioritizing foreign interests over American ones. Proposed Change: Trump emphasizes global peace while putting America first, ensuring that U.S. tax dollars and lives are not sacrificed for the interests of other nations.

5. **Healthcare Costs**: Healthcare costs continue to rise, impacting families across the nation. Proposed Change: Trump proposes to lower prescription drug prices and increase competition in the healthcare market.

6. **Crime Rates**: Many cities have experienced rising crime rates, leading to concerns about public safety. Proposed Change: Trump advocates for stronger law enforcement support and tougher penalties for violent crimes.

7. **Education Policies**: Educational standards have been criticized, with debates over curriculum content and school safety. Proposed Change: Trump supports school choice initiatives and aims to increase funding for vocational training.

8. **Supply Chain Issues**: The pandemic has exposed vulnerabilities in the supply chain, causing shortages and delays. Proposed Change: Trump plans to incentivize domestic manufacturing to reduce reliance on foreign supply chains.

As citizens, let’s look forward to a new administration and hold them accountable for positive change that delivers improvement over the last four years.
