AUSTIN, Texas—Today, Ginn Economic Consulting, in partnership with NetChoice, has released a report on how President Donald Trump can use his agenda to ignite a new “Golden Age” for American tech in his second term.
The report, titled “Trump’s Opportunity to Unleash Technology by Replacing Biden’s Antitrust Agenda,” is authored by Dr. Vance Ginn. As President of Ginn Consulting and former Chief Economist at the White House Office of Management and Budget during the first Trump administration, Ginn brings uniquely exceptional insights into innovation policy.
“Dr. Ginn’s must-read report outlines a transformative path for the Trump administration to reignite American innovation and champion leadership in technology,” said NetChoice President & CEO Steve DelBianco. “By rejecting Biden’s costly overregulation and embracing free-market principles, we can once again protect consumers, empower innovators and maintain our edge against foreign competitors like China. This is America’s moment to lead the Tech Golden Age, ensuring the next generation of innovations are built here—not in Beijing or elsewhere.”
Dr. Vance Ginn offered comments to NetChoice, highlighting how deregulatory principles in the first Trump administration helped unleash America’s creative drive:
“America’s position as a global technology leader is at stake,” said Ginn. “Having worked directly in the first Trump White House, I witnessed firsthand how reducing government overreach empowers innovators and strengthens our economy. Partnering on this effort with NetChoice, this report provides actionable steps to reignite our nation’s innovative spirit.”
TOP FINDINGS:
- Regulatory Overreach Stifles Innovation: Heavy-handed antitrust policies under the Biden administration raised costs, restricted innovation and diverted resources away from R&D. This hindered small businesses, raised prices for Americans, and handed competitive advantages to foreign rivals like China. These policies must end.
- Free Enterprise is America’s Secret Sauce: A focus on free markets and consumer power, rather than heavy-handed government control, has allowed America to uniquely thrive, especially in tech. The Trump administration should reignite this innovation by championing free-market principles and following the consumer welfare standard.
- National Security Implications: Weakening the U.S. tech sector through overregulation risks ceding our global leadership. Advanced innovations like AI and quantum computing are critical to maintaining America’s military and economic security. Any new rulemaking around these innovations should keep this at the front of mind.
