Ron \u200cDeSantis Unveils His Economic Policy Plan<\/h2>\n<p>Fresh off of a well-received speech at the Lincoln Dinner in Iowa, Republican presidential candidate Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) unveiled his economic policy plan in \u2062Rochester, New\u200d Hampshire, another critical \u2062early nominating state, on Monday as he attempts to reset his beleaguered campaign.<\/p>\n<h3>A\u2062 Bold \u200cPlan for Economic Growth<\/h3>\n<p>DeSantis&#8217;s plan for growing the economy includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Eliminating American dependence on China<\/li>\n<li>Achieving energy independence from foreign nations<\/li>\n<li>Nixing the use of environmental,\u200d social, and governance \u200bby pension funds<\/li>\n<li>Ending affirmative action in the economy<\/li>\n<li>Reforming\u200d the nation&#8217;s education system<\/li>\n<li>Ending\u2064 illegal immigration<\/li>\n<li>Reining in the Federal Reserve and \u200bcongressional spending<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;Our country is in decline right \u200bnow. We see it with military decline, cultural\u2064 decline, but we also see it in\u200d terms of economic decline,&#8221; DeSantis\u2063 said. &#8220;And\u2063 I&#8217;m running for president because\u2064 we cannot be satisfied with simply\u200c managing this decline a little bit better\u2063 than the \u200bDemocrats.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis \u2064mainly championed supporting \u2064America&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fncs-carlson-gamestop-saga-shows-system-is-not-the-capitalism-we-were-promised-not-even-close\/\" title=\"FNC's Carlson: GameStop Saga Shows System Is 'Not the Capitalism We Were Promised -- Not Even Close'\">middle-class families<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bidens-commerce-secretary-is-a-former-venture-capitalist-but-some-gopers-warn-shell-be-soft-on-china\/\" title=\"Biden\u2019s Commerce Secretary Is A Former Venture Capitalist, But Some GOPers Warn She\u2019ll Be \u2018Soft On China\u2019\">working-class families<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gov-newsom-says-calif-helped-create-tesla\/\" title=\"Gov.

Meanwhile, the top 10% have\u2062 added $29\u200b trillion in wealth. COVID lockdowns accelerated that trend. It crippled the market share of small businesses and benefited \u2063the \u2064largest corporations,&#8221; DeSantis said. &#8220;It\u2064 diminished the purchasing power of\u200c our middle class, and \u2063it upended \u2063our workforce such that millions of\u2062 people left \u2063the workforce, and still to this day, have not returned.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The &#8220;Declaration of Economic Independence&#8221; speech comes during a crucial moment for the Florida governor&#8217;s campaign.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Challenges and Determination<\/h3>\n<p>DeSantis has faced declining poll numbers and growing\u200d uncertainty \u2064that \u2062his campaign is viable, especially considering former President Donald Trump&#8217;s sizable lead in polls of Republican voters.<\/p>\n<p>The\u200d governor&#8217;s attempts to dethrone Trump have\u200b floundered in recent weeks. DeSantis&#8217;s\u200b second<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/desantis-unveils-economic-independence-plan-our-country-is-in-decline-right-now\/\" title=\"DeSantis reveals 'economic independence' plan amid current national decline.\">-quarter campaign finance report showed  million raised<\/a>,\u2063 but\u200b a majority of donors have maxed \u2063out on financial\u2064 contributions. The campaign burned\u200d through $8 million and has $12 million cash\u200c on hand. Also not helping DeSantis: His campaign fired 38 staffers last week, roughly a third of his team.<\/p>\n<p>Results from the first New York \u200bTimes\/Siena College poll of the 2024 cycle on Monday showed DeSantis trailing \u2063Trump by 37 percentage \u200cpoints. Republican voters\u200c back Trump by 54% compared to only 17% \u2063who support DeSantis, a factor that complicates the governor&#8217;s attempt \u2062to solidify himself as the top non-Trump 2024 candidate. However, the poll also\u200c showed that no other 2024 GOP hopeful received above 3% support.<\/p>\n<p>Aides signaled that DeSantis&#8217;s\u2062 speech on Monday\u2062 will be &#8220;a\u200b key cornerstone of DeSantis\u2019s campaign as he ramps up his insurgent message.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis himself touted his leadership of \u200dFlorida \u2064during the pandemic when he bucked \u200cthe advice of national leaders, including\u200c Anthony\u2063 Fauci, then director of the National Institute \u200bof Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who\u200d urged states to implement lockdowns.\u2064 &#8220;Leadership\u2063 matters. We showed how to get it done. \u2063We beat the elites. We showed \u200bthe\u2063 way forward to restore freedom and\u200c opportunity for people all \u2063throughout \u200dthis country. And I will fight as\u200c president for the American people just like we fought for the people\u200b of Florida,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are the number one \u200cmost desired state to move to \u2064anywhere in the country. That&#8217;s\u200c just a \u2062fact,&#8221; he \u2063later added during a question-and-answer portion when his speech was finished.<\/p>\n<p>During the speech, DeSantis declared he \u200dwould undo President Joe Biden&#8217;s\u200c economic plans, including pressuring Americans to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/imagine-if-trump-had-said-that-jesse-watters-and-dagen-mcdowell-say-reporters-would-have-seen-bidens-joke-as-a-threat-from-trump\/\" title=\"\u2018Imagine If Trump Had Said That\u2019: Jesse Watters And Dagen McDowell Say Reporters Would Have Seen Biden\u2019s Joke As A Threat From Trump\">buy electric vehicles<\/a>.\u2062 &#8220;Biden&#8217;s\u2064 job \u2063crippling and ideological regulations and executive orders will be reversed by me on day one,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Although DeSantis appears to be\u2062 moving away from cultural issues on the campaign trail, he did criticize the \u2063&#8221;indoctrination&#8221; of children \u2063in \u2064schools. &#8220;We \u2063need our schools from K-12 through \u200duniversity to focus on education, not indoctrination,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>He \u200balso condemned student \u200bloan\u200c forgiveness,\u200d arguing that \u200c&#8221;it&#8217;s wrong to say that \u200ba truck driver should \u2063have to\u2064 pay off \u200cthe debt of somebody \u2062who got\u2063 a degree in gender\u2063 studies. \u200dThis is \u2064not the taxpayers that\u2063 should have to do that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis argued that\u200b he will \u200bfight for American families if he is elected president next year. &#8220;I want a country where Americans that \u2063work hard, Americans\u2064 that \u200cget the most \u2064out of their God-given \u200cability, are\u200c able to get ahead in this \u200bcountry,&#8221; he said. &#8220;They&#8217;re able to raise a family and they&#8217;re \u200cable to lead fulfilling and productive lives. And if \u2064we\u200d can&#8217;t get that right, then we are not going to succeed as a country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a successful speech in Iowa, Gov.
