Another factor in voting for Haley is that she would raise the retirement age. This is something I have been advocating since coming to this forum.
HALEY’S FREEDOM PLAN
Socialism kills the middle class. Haley’s Freedom Plan will revive it. Bidenomics gives morepower to Washington bureaucrats. Haley's plan will return power to the people.
Cut middle-class taxes.
● Cut income tax rates and consolidate brackets for middle-class families.
● Eliminate the federal gas and diesel tax to give middle-class families relief inflation and disastrous energy policies.
○ The vast majority (around 75%) of highway money comes from state and local funding. Federal funding will continue to be a small part of infrastructure spending. Federal highway funding should come from general revenues, forcing it to compete with other spending priorities.○ It will require all Americans to pay for roads and bridges—not just the drivers o fgas-powered vehicles. And we’ll stop diverting money to green giveaways, bike paths, and hiking trails.● Make small business relief permanent.
○ The 2017 Small Business Deduction allows taxpayers to exclude up to 20 percent of their pass-through business income from federal income tax. Without action, this provision is scheduled to expire after 2025 and would increase small business tax rates from 29.6% to 37% for individuals in the highest tax bracket.● Cut unfair distortions in the tax code.
○ Example: The SALT deduction allows high-income earners in high-tax states to claim their state taxes as a deduction on their federal taxes. It forces low-tax states to subsidize tax-and-spend policies in high-tax states.Reduce inflation and debt by cutting spending. Democrats and Republicans bear responsibility for our country’s record-high $33 trillion debt.
● Place a limit on federal spending linked to a percentage of our economy.
● End taxpayer bailouts for special interests.
● Veto any budget that doesn’t take our country back to pre-COVID spending levels.
● Eliminate Biden’s $500 billion in green energy subsidies in the Inflation Reduction Act.
● Implement mandatory zero-based budgeting, requiring government programs to be justified in every budget, instead of basing budgeting decisions on the previous year’s funding level.
● Withhold Congress’ pay if it fails to pass a budget. No budget, no pay.
● Implement entitlement reform. Social Security starts to run out of money in 2033 and
will require a 23% cut in benefits if no changes are made. Medicare starts to run out of
money in 2031 and will require an 11% cut in benefits.
○ Raise the retirement age for younger generations and index Social Security and Medicare benefits to life expectancy.○ Limit the growth of benefits for higher-income beneficiaries.○ Expand Medicare Advantage and increase competition.○ Match cost-of-living increases for Social Security to actual inflation rates by using chained CPI.● Push the Fed to maintain a strong dollar. Reduce federal government control of our lives.
● Enact term limits for politicians and bureaucrats.
○ No bureaucrat should hold the same position for more than five years.○ Make it easier to fire federal bureaucrats who are not performing.● Force Congress to vote on new rules and regulations by implementing the REINS
Act.
○ The REINS Act requires congressional approval for any proposed federal agency rule with an economic impact of $100 million or more.○ During the first two years in office, the Biden administration finalized rules amounting to nearly $10,000 per household. In 2021, the Biden administration finalized 69 regulations costing more than $100 million or having a substantial effect on the economy (more than any recent president).● Push federal programs down to the states.
○ Instead of the federal government deciding where and how tax money is spent, use block grants to give states the freedom to decide the best way to use federalfunds.● Implement an all-of-the-above energy plan that makes America energy dominant.
○ Stop the demonization of the oil and gas industries, and empower American producers.○ Open up oil and gas production within federal lands.○ Reinstate the Keystone XL pipeline and speed up permitting and building of interstate pipelines. Prevent radical environmental groups from stopping new energy projects.○ Roll back Biden’s wasteful green energy subsidies and regulations.○ Stand up to energy dictators in Russia, Iran, and Venezuela, and don’t sell our oilreserves to our enemies.You never saw specifics like that from Trump, and you never will. Just empty promises and self-aggrandizing chest thumping.
You never saw Trump push legislation to achieve these things.
This is what conservatism looks like.

But Baier quoted a Bloomberg interview of Ms Haley in August, in which she said, “65 is way too low and we need to increase that.”
Trump in heels! Trump in heels!
