What Long-Held Right-Wing Goals Will Trump Make Happen?

Here are some I'm betting will be on the table:

1. Get the United States out of the UN and the UN out of the United States - The Right has pushed for this over and over again for a very, very long time. It never made any sense to me, but it keeps coming up.

2. Privatize Social Security & Medicare - I don't think there's any doubt that this will be pushed and pushed hard.

3. Shut down the National Endowment of the Arts - This one's symbolic, rather than economic, really. It has always been seen as some sort of leftist hippie thing.

4. Defund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting - Another symbolic, anti-hippie thing.

What are some other right-wing goals you think will be targeted early in the Trump adminstration.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
