Why Magufuli administration misses the point on Government splurge

So where are the similarities

True Trump is anti free labour and capital

So he will renegotiate NAFTA, TPP among others

If he fails, he has promised to abandon them!

We are members of EAC, SADC where the intent is to free labour and capital

How do we compare with Trump beats me

The US has some kind of EPA with EU and Trump is happy with while we are against such arrangements

On taxation Trump aims to lower top tax bracket from 39.5% to 15% and those earning $25,000 annually will not pay tax

Our top tax bracket is 30% and remains static with no intent to lower it

Trump will revoke property taxes targeting to promote real estate growth but locally it remains business as usual no room for a repeal.

On who do not pay tax here are those equated to minimum government salary which is Tshs 150,000 per month or Tshs 1,800,000/=.

Or $900 per annum excluding small scale business which Trump targets up to $25,000 annually

Trump will expel illegal immigrants with criminal record estimated at between two to three million while we have no such commitment

Trump will build a wall to fend off Mexican illegal immigrants while we have no plans to build a wall anywhere

Trump protectionist policies may provoke recession wiping away any benefits the tax cut has generated pushing everybody to a global recession maybe that is where our similarities begin and end.

Recession comes with inflation and weaker currencies which have a domino effect of hiking commodity prices and eating away the benefits of savings generated by tax cuts

Our tax policy and laws aim to expand the role of government where Trump's aims to reduce the role of the government

In a nutshell, Trump trumps bigger government while our regime embraces it

The more I hear favourable comparisons between Trump and our regime from frazzled dons of our universities I keep wondering what kind of skills and knowledges are being disseminated to our daughters and sons.

We have every reason to worry the quality of education in our money guzzling universities given the level of dunces masquerading as the dons!

On domestic calamities, we have new policies

Very controversial ones.
