The chief of staff painstakingly explained for half an hour.

"Your suggestion, should I give it a let-of-the-road?" asked Plante, with an unhappy expression.

After all, he is a very smart person, and after being president for a few years, he finally understands something, don't mess around if you don't understand, it's best to follow the advice of experts.

The chief of staff breathed a sigh of relief and said carefully:

"I propose an end to the sweater wars. The Eagle Nation has been getting worse and worse lately, and we must turn the situation around, or we risk a big mess in your second term. The government's debt is too high, and the interest on the debt is now more than $1.5 trillion a year, and we can't let this continue to spread, and we must ensure the revenue of domestic technology companies. Because these businesses are highly profitable, they can generate a lot of taxes. ”

Plante frowned, thinking silently.

As a political amateur, Plante was genuinely ambitious, as evidenced by his many contradictory policies.

First of all, he had vowed to bring down the Eagle Nation's debt.

The idea is certainly good, but he has no open source method, and will only frantically throttle.

As a result, the Eagle Kingdom began to shrink globally, withdrawing troops from various places, withdrawing from various economic agreements, overdrawing national credit, and competing for benefits with its younger brothers and sons, causing global dissatisfaction.

Of course, for the time being, it's just dissatisfaction, after all, the Eagle State has the military strength of 'kill your whole family if you don't accept it'.

What's even more outrageous is that he announced another tax cut.

Tax cuts are also a good thing, of course, but didn't you say that you want to reduce the national debt?

How to reduce debt when taxes are cut and government revenues are lower?

As a super-wealthy man in his twilight years, Plante's purpose in abolishing the estate tax is questionable.

Not only that, but he also increased military spending several times, built large infrastructure, and even announced a return to the moon.

What the hell is this policy?

Are you sure that your purpose is to reduce the national debt, and not the other way around?

Sure enough, after a concerted operation, the Eagle Nation debt has gone from $20 trillion when he first came to power to $26 trillion today......

Second, while declaring that the Eagle Nation would return to greatness, he severely restricted immigration.

If you want to return to greatness, you can't do without scientific and technological innovation, and scientific and technological innovation can't do without fresh and competitive new immigrants.

However, Plante has formulated extremely strict immigration laws, not only resolutely opposing illegal immigration, but also setting a higher threshold for skilled immigration.

Without sophisticated manpower, what can be used to return to greatness?

Do you blow by mouth?

In addition, he declared that the Eagle Nation would return to manufacturing and encourage traditional industries such as coal and steel.

But where are the workers?

You restrict immigration at the bottom, who will be the worker?

Eagle Countryman?

The ordinary people of the Eagle Country live too easily, but few young people are willing to work in factories.

Don't listen to the Western media boasting, what blue-collar wages are about the same as white-collar workers, what everyone just has a different lifestyle, and white-collar workers will not discriminate against blue-collar workers.

Don't talk nonsense!

But any normal person can tell which is more comfortable to sit in the office in the summer and blow the air conditioner or drive the crane sweating profusely.

The middle and upper elites of society have gone to study law, finance, and medicine, why don't you go to study Lan Xiang?

In short, whoever believes in it is the one who writes.

In addition, returning to the manufacturing industry requires a large number of engineers, where are the engineers of the Eagle Nation?

According to Eagle Nation's own statistics, 44 percent of Chinese university students major in natural sciences and engineering each year, compared to only 16 percent in Eagle Nation.

Considering that the population of Eagle Country is only 1/4 of that of China, the gap in the number of new technicians is too large.

With 6 million science and engineering undergraduates graduating from China every year, how many science and engineering graduates does Eagle Country have?

The social atmosphere of Eagle Country is very strange, as the most technologically advanced country in the world, the campus culture of Eagle Country is extremely anti-intellectual.

In Eagle Country primary and secondary schools, introverted students with good academic performance are the lowest status.

They are called nerds (nerds, lowly people) and are teased and bullied by rugby muscle sticks and cheerleaders, and even teachers and other classmates look down on them.

In The Big Bang Theory, the tragic student days of several protagonists are typical.

Comparatively speaking, China on the other side of the ocean is much better.

Although it is not a good thing for the school bullies to be held in the palms of teachers and parents, it is even worse to let the anti-intellectual sports students and dancing female bullies play school bullying and hit the students who love to learn.

Especially in today's technological era, the campus culture of the Eagle Nation is incomprehensible.

Or is this a big game of chess played by the Eagle Country?

Using the bad campus culture as a genius filter, the nerds who persevered in the ridicule of their middle school years will not forget their original intentions and know how to persevere after entering the path of scientific research in the future......

Don't TM funny!

For decades, if there were no large number of overseas students with science, technology, engineering and mathematics backgrounds to supplement the scientific research talents of Eagle Country, Eagle Country Technology would have become a sticky stool.

However, Plante's new immigration policy has stifled an important source of high-level talent.

Without people, why did the Eagle Nation return to greatness?

Plante sat down for a while, but still couldn't pull off his face, so he changed the topic and said with a cold face:

"I'll talk about that later, I'm going to the campaign committee in the afternoon, how has the campaign money been raised in the last two weeks?"

"It's not good...... chief of staff said with a bitter face:

"Tech companies are very unhappy with the immigration policy, except for a few companies such as Microsoft and Tesla, and they are also unhappy with your policy of raising taxes on Chinese companies. ”

Plante's basic market is resources, steel, and the white supremacists, and the Eagle Land Rich Men are not at all the same as these technology companies for the purpose of internationalization, and it is normal that they cannot attract investment.

Plante muttered something in his mouth, and then asked:

"Do I have more than $250 million in funds?"

"Exceeded, now 256 million dollars. The chief of staff looked at the notebook in his hand, and said with a sad face:

However, David Roosevelt has already surpassed 1.2 billion. ”

F**k！

"These traitors!" Plante couldn't help but be furious:

"I am the hope of the Eagle Country!"

The chief of staff peeked at Plante, then gritted his teeth and said:

"The disparity in campaign finance is so great, we have to raise it quickly, or the other side will definitely use the money to stone us to death. According to expert estimates, we need at least 350 million to guarantee a success rate of more than 60%. If you can't reverse it within a month, I suggest you invest your own money. $100 million is not a lot for your net worth of tens of billions, and as long as you are still president, you can get enough 'compensation' in the future. ”

Now the situation is getting more and more critical, and the chief of staff can't care about Plante's face.

Vote for yourself?

100 million dollars!

Plante's flesh hurt very much, but he didn't dare to deny it, because he blew out the 10 billion statement.

Plante's net worth has always been a mystery, and he has been reluctant to disclose his family assets and taxes, and even Forbes can't quite figure it out.

Forbes has given an estimate of about 3 billion.

The president sprayed Forbes as a garbage magazine, incompetent, degenerate, and he is obviously a billionaire!

He apparently thinks that a billionaire has more face than a billionaire, and this statement has made him lose face.

The most reliable news is that the Ethics Office of the Federal Government of the Eagle Nation released data in 2017 that the president's net worth is more than 1.4 billion, not 10 billion as he claims.

This statement also angered Plante, but he was reluctant to disclose his assets and tax certificates......

On the whole, the 3 billion given by Forbes is much more reliable.

It's not once or twice that Plante likes to brag, he has boasted many times that he is self-made, but in reality?

According to an investigation by the New York Times, Plante has been able to get $200,000 a year from his real estate tycoon father Fred since he was 3 years old, which means that he became a millionaire at the age of 8, and it was 1954!

After graduating from college, he was able to get 1 million a year from his father, and it gradually increased, and by the time he was 40 or 50 years old, he still received more than $5 million a year.

Not only that, but Plante has gone bankrupt many times, and each time he has been able to get back up again.

He claims that he has relied on his own skills to make a comeback every time, but this is not the case at all.

Fred, the rich dad, helped him too much.

For example, in 1995, when Plante's casino was in crisis with serious losses, his father Fred bought more than $3 million in his son's casino, but never made a bet.

The New York Times also noted that when Fred died in 1999, Plante inherited his father's fortune of up to $413 million.

Inflation, that's roughly equivalent to more than $600 million today.

If this is self-made, then we may have misunderstood the meaning of the term 'self-made'.

Overall, Plante received about $1 billion in assets from his father.

His personal assets are now about 3 billion, which means that he has spent about 70 years doubling his assets.

Depository banks are estimated to be higher than this return......

Considering the hidden benefits brought to him by the wealthy family of real estate tycoons, such as experience, costs, connections, resources, etc., Plante can really only be regarded as a barely qualified businessman.

"No!" Plante painfully rejected the chief of staff's proposal.

The chief of staff was disappointed, but he didn't show it on his face, and thought to himself:

"Maybe it's time for me to get a new job?"
