Change you won't freaking believe.
The American economy is going in the crapper. The causes of this have been argued with varying degrees of honesty and knowledge by everyone and his cousin, the fact is that it has been building since the founding of the privately owned, misnamed, “Federal Reserve Board” and was exacerbated by FDR implementing his socialistic policies that lengthened the LAST depression. Taking America off the gold standard left us with a currency backed by the integrity of the most UNETHICAL segment of our population, in other words ,congress. Govt meddling in economic matters is what CAUSES economic problems, not what cures them.
Since then the general trend has been that Republicans try to limit government growth and spending, while Democrats seek to expand their appeal through “Social programs” ranging from welfare to Social security benefits for illegal aliens. You will note that I used the words “generally” and “trend”, that is because to many (more than 0) misguided Republicans have believed the socialist Democrat BS that “it’s for the children” and have supported these handouts, when in fact the sole purpose of “Social Programs” is to buy votes for the Democratic party.
Those who watch the Stock market will have noticed that while the economy showed signs of a looming recession prior to the Presidential Campaign since the nomination of Barack HUSSEIN Obama the stock market has lost close to half it’s value. Why this sudden collapse? Because Obama and the Democrats, like Hitler, have told us what they have planned and it is a strategy that has resulted in failure every time it has been tried, not only in the former Soviet Union and other failed states, but in America as well under carter, which resulted in a huge (then) budget deficit, “negative economic growth”, and unemployment and inflation figures over 10%.
Since I recently got laid off I also have been considering the situation, and I feel the solution is fairly simply. Here are my 11 steps to a strong, stable economy.
1) Quit the UN abrogate all treaties we have with them and kick them out of America. They drain large amounts of money from us with their fraud riddled aid programs to countries that seldom or never support us. Will poor third worlders starve ? Of course they will, they have been doing it for thousands of years and will continue to do so until they get their acts together and A) quit breeding like rats, and B) Establish stable HONEST governments. Despite the BS coming from the “Do Googers” not all societies are amenable to “democracy”, some, especially where education is lacking, or, as is the case in Afghanistan, the “warrior spirit” is a bit TO pervasive the need is for a STRONG dictator, but the main focus must be on honesty among the leaders instead of the current crop of cleptocrats.
2)Get rid of ALL illegal aliens Give them 30 days to leave on their own with their stuff if they register on their way out they get on a fast track to come back LEGALLY (with all the paperwork, medical checks, fees etc. ) After 30 days they get chucked across the border with what they are wearing, everything else is forfeited to compensate for the expense they have cost. This does not violate any amendments as they were proceeds of crime.Sanctuary cities lose all federal funding until they comply with federal law, State and local politicians who implemented them are charged with Federal Conspiracy violations. ( US Constitution Article 1 Sec 8 Clause 4:To establish a uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;) It is said that this would cost taxpayers over $200 million, however illegal aliens drain the economy of over $300 million per year, so even with the initial cost of $200 Million we would still see a savings of about $1TRILLION during the first 4 years.
3) Legalize Pot, Heroin and Cocaine, and tax them just like cigarettes and booze. The war on drugs has been a money pit since it’s beginning, it was never anything more than a jobs program for Prohibition agents and the drug problem that did not exist BEFORE criminalization only gets worse. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and expecting different results. Prohibition led to a huge rise in alcoholism, and made several gangsters very rich, like Joe Kennedy, and Al Capone, it created an entirely new type of criminal in the bootlegger and caused an explosion of violent crime, even the Govt had to admit it was a flop. So then they did the EXACT SAME THING with drugs. Tax income, No DEA fewer judges and police, fewer lawsuits for raiding the wrong place, less incentive for corruption. I have no clue how much tax revenue this would generate, however tobacco and alcohol taxes are probably a good indicator, but we would save the hundreds of millions of dollars currently flushed annually on a blatantly failed policy.
4) Do away with “income Tax, and the Fed, National sales tax, those who SPEND more PAY more. If the fed is running the economy what the hell is the Treasury Dept. doing ? Treasury is supposed to be the nations finance Dept, making the collections and payments. Cut the business profits tax or eliminate it completely, businesses need capital to expand and create new jobs, that money comes from profits. And despite the bleatings of the socialist sheep,”profit” is not a dirty word, it is the reward for doing good work. The Soviet Union is an example of an economy where there was no profit incentive.
5) Bring home ALL ARMY troops not engaged in active operations and put them on the borders, cut the size of that force by 50%, The job of the Army is DEFENDING our borders, not spending dollars in Korea and Germany, If we need to project force, that is what the Navy and Marine Corps were started for, now the Air Force joins them.
6) Cut Senate and Congressional pay by 25% staff by 75% limit of 2 terms, no pensions, no senate bank or health care, They need to live the same as the rest of us. (And ENFORCE the damn ETHICS rules). Not only would this save money on salaries,and pensions for every party hack who can weasel a term in office, we would get better Government out of it because the elected officials would actually have to READ the Bills they were talking about and voting on.
7) Eliminate Govt. agencies and Departments, the Constitutions first article clearly defines the authority and responsibilities of Govt. no other agencies are needed or legal. Again a huge savings in salaries, benefits,pensions and real estate costs.
8)Tariffs on imported goods, an extra 10% charge if made overseas by an American owned Company, No charge for Foreign owned companies manufacturing HERE. With the cut or eliminated “profits tax” this would make American labor profitable for American companies and bring some, if not all of our jobs back from Mexico, China, and India. More jobs equals more people spending equals more revenue from the national sales tax.
9) No more Foreign aid. On top of what the UN leaches from us we yearly send billions of dollars to countries that either hate us or allow their corrupt officials to steal most of it.
10) No vote for welfare recipients, They do not contribute to prosperity they deserve no say in how it is managed. THIS WOULD NOT APPLY TO RETIREE’S or those drawing pensions or unemployment, those are earned benefits not charity. Social Security would be placed back in a trust fund as intended financed in part by a fine levied on the Democratic party for their complicity in Johnson’s initial theft and for helping Clinton give Social security benefits to people who are committing a crime by even being here any profits from the assets of forcibly deported aliens could also be deposited to this account. Any future politician who attempted to remove it would be guilty of theft and removed from office with prejudice.
11) Charity returned to the community where it belongs, people who have hard times get help, dead beat leeches can starve.
In discussing this with friends they commented that I had not mentioned going back on the gold or silver standard. They are correct, I had thought of that but discarded it as being to complex a proposition for me to work through. Here’s why, if you set the value of the $ at 1/2 of one ounce of silver, just to allow each of our 300 million people convert $100 would require over 75,000 TONS of silver. Where would it come from ? I don’t know if the entire worlds production has reach that amount.While I agree that an “Inherent value currency” is a must for a stable economy I don’t have the knowledge to suggest how it would be implemented.
Harsh ? Probably. Will people get hurt that don’t deserve to ? Some. But it will hurt far less people than if the economy melts down and it is sustainable if severe enough penalties are put in place so the do gooder a$$holes can’t screw it up again.
