However, within our borders, small businesses are a great way to support and startup a local economy in all areas and as such will be supported by my administration in any way possible."
"My administration would also support government-funded college, allowing for students to both come out of college debt-free, as well as making it easier to find for them to find a well-paying job that they can simulate the economy with."

"Okay, well, I'm going to need a bit to unpack this, because most of that was wrong. Trade, I agree with. We will get nowhere by shutting ourselves off. Small businesses are fine, but only of a certain type.
