The challenges facing America, are far bigger than most people realize. I will attempt to address the problems, with out partisan politics. I am a member of neither party, and certain both parties are equally responsible for the mess we face. My values certainly lean conservative, I am a pure constitutional supporter, but I don't think this causes any blurring of what matters. First problem we face, and the most critical, is our national debt. Both parties are guilty of dishonesty. They rely on the stupidity of the American people, and use "deficit reduction", as a cover for their fiscal irresponsibility. Deficit reduction, which is nothing more than debt RISING. Anyone with basic math skills, understands this. But most people are either mesmerized by the flashy double talk, or too complacent and just don't care. This is part of the "entitled" generations our politicians have been feeding, basically offering more money for your vote. They don't explain where this money comes from, or why it matters. Why? Because they honestly DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOU. They have been doing insider trading, building nest eggs that insure they're safe, when the bottom drops out. Our debt is now nearing 19 trillion dollars. A number that was unheard of in the late 1970's. Now, these numbers are used with calmness, as if they are a few dollars short on their bar tab, but they promise to take care of it on their next visit. By the end of this decade, if serious solutions are not taken now, it will be closer to 25 trillion dollars. How in the hell are we going to even begin to start paying this debt, and keep the entitlement promises we have made to so many of our citizens? The unfunded liability, which is basically all the retirement benefits offered to Americans, is looming in the near future, where people have been promised monies that just don't exist. Social Security was created, to help those near the end of their life. In the original program, benefits were paid out, to those who exceeded the life expectancy of their time. Basically, they paid into a system, on the off chance, they lived longer than the average life expectancy when the program was created. If you don't understand what that means, I will make it simple. They wanted you to pay into this program, and DIE BEFORE YOU COULD RECEIVE THIS MONEY! The money received, was intended to be saved, put in a "no touch" fund, that would remain untouched, except for those who lived to the age of retirement. The early years were great, a lot of money coming, and very few people lived long enough to draw from the fund, it was a real winner. It didn't take long for the government to see this pile of money, and decide they needed that money, for other projects important to the nation. They broke their own promise, and started dipping into those funds, very early in the life of the program. The failure for SSA was written long ago. Both parties are absolutely guilty of deception, even as we head towards another election, and yet another debt ceiling crisis. If we fail to hold our elected leaders, accountable, we are responsible for our own failure as a nation. If you don't have private funds/property, and you are under 35, forget it, you are screwed. Now how can we do better? First, we need an amendment to the Constitution, that dictates the government not only carry no deficit, but they pay a certain percentage of government funding (through taxes) towards our debt. Once our debt is paid off, we NEVER go into debt again. How do we get this money? Printing it is NOT an option. The value of the dollar is based solely on "faith", at this time in history. More money printed, lowers the value, or buying power, of the dollar. That is inflation, or hyper inflation if we try to print our way out of debt, it doesn't work. The way you increase revenue to the government, without deflating the value of the dollar is two fold. First, you cut spending. Again, CUT SPENDING! You get rid of all expenditures that are wasteful. This means that agencies which come in UNDER BUDGET, are NOT PUNISHED. The current policy for agencies, is spend it all, or get your budget cut for the following fiscal year. Anyone who has worked for the federal government, knows what this means. At the end of any fiscal year, agencies go on a spending SPREE, BUYING SHIT THEY DON'T NEED, JUST TO ENSURE A BUDGET INCREASE! So they will throw huge parties, or buy thousands of rolls of toilet paper, staplers, or flat screen TV's. Yes, FLAT SCREEN TV'S! Just dumb. So after cutting spending, which is a whole topic unto itself, there is revenue . How do you raise revenue? Here is where I will shock many people. YOU LOWER TAXES! Before you go running up and down the hallway, screaming bloody murder, let me explain. The dirty truth about ALL taxes, YOU PAY THEM ALL! There is not a SINGLE EXPENSE, that does not factor into the prices of the goods and services you buy, NOT ONE. Our current administration believes that taxing is the only way to raise revenue. They don't trust American businesses, or YOU, to do what is right(in their elitist minds) with money. They believe that companies are so monstrously greedy, that any tax cuts, will go into their pockets. This is false. Any company that wants to excel, knows that expansion/growth equals success. More capital means more jobs, more jobs equals more money ultimately going into the government coffers. If the US removed ALL corporate taxes, it would bring companies back to US soil so fast, it would make tax lovers heads spin, probably right off their shoulders. Companies would INVEST their new found capital, in growth. That means more people working, more people putting money into the government. We pay all these taxes anyway, why kill job creation with stupid taxation that is ALWAYS passed onto the consumer anyway? You would also need to create penalties to those companies which do not return their companies to US soil. Placing import taxes on these companies, would make their competitive ability, much more difficult than those already on US soil. We would need a grace period, one year, to allow those companies to return to the US, before getting hammered. This would also protect our technology, which is stolen outright, by china, as they are dominating the worlds manufacturing with their government controls on currency value and the huge, low wage slave labor pool they draw from. China should not be the beneficiary of our creative economy. Second, we are at war with radical islam. There is no denying it, when your enemy is at war with you, you can't claim victory or and end to military operations. This MUST BE RECOGNIZED, AND ACTION MUST BE TAKEN. The current administration is childishly naive about this, and for all their failures, we are less safe than anytime since WWII. When someone hates you, with the deep, visceral hatred that makes up radical islam, there is no policy on earth that will lower their hatred towards us. Our political ideologies are absolutely oil and water, they won't mix. They want complete submission to their version of islam, or to cut off your head. There is only one solution, find them, kill them, period. In order to kill rats, you need to be willing to climb down into the gutters of the world and get dirty, real dirty. We need to unleash our military, not constrain it with too many stupid ROE's, or do as this administration has done, turn and run. Pretending that all is well, only makes us look foolish and our enemies are watching. We need bold leaders to go after these animals. We need to define them, and support those who oppose them with action, and punish those who stand by with silent support for these radical cavemen. Clear, concise action and policy. Anything less, self ostracism. Just dumb. WE THE PEOPLE, have a representative government, a true Republic, unlike the despot dictators and communists who place "republic" in their nations identity, to fool the foolish. We have an oath, "to support and defend, the Constitution of the United States, against ALL ENEMIES, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC". This is the absolute most important part of the oath, and we MUST HOLD THOSE ACCOUNTABLE, who violate such a sacred oath. Anyone that holds office, and places the needs of NON-CITIZENS, ahead of our own, must be punished. The ones who hold office, and fight for CRIMINAL ILLEGALS, must go. Those who fight to hamstring our nation, in favor of the world collective, MUST GO. If they turn to the UN, rather than US laws, they MUST GO. Nothing and no one, trumps our Constitution, our rights as Americans, and public service is too the American, first and only. Anyone doing otherwise, is failing their oath, AND MUST GO. WE MUST DEMAND THIS! STOP LETTING THESE PEOPLE LIE, CHEAT, STEAL, AND SERVE OTHERS. This is NOT what our founding fathers intended, and we are betraying their sacrifice, by sitting idle as our country is destroyed by those we elected to govern us responsibly. New topic are forthcoming, stay tuned for common sense, in an increasingly senseless country.
