Also, if Congress ain't willing to work together. Let the president get some stuff done. Your government shutdown was embarrassing. 3. Cut the army and spying agencies. 4. Invest in own industry. Maybe another 'new deal'? Stop blaming China for loss of your industry, they didn't steal it. Your own companies didn't want to pay American workers a good wage! Profit was far more important to them, even they made money in America anyway. 5. Invest in new technologies so you can establish a market in them. eg. renewables, 3D printing 6. Free Healthcare and University education as a right in the constitution, so people can have better health and gain more skills, essential to diversify the economy. 7. Bring back the old tax system the US had in the 1950's (up to 92% tax) and enforce it. Fine companies which use tax havens. This will help fund stuff like free healthcare and education as well as the saving made from a having a small army and defence budget. I could say other stuff as apart of my ideals but to put it short nothing will change unless the American people want it, if you don't like the current system. Don't put up with it. You can think whatever you want, but nothing will change, if nothing is done |
1. America can't really afford to be isolationist as it was in the past, for better or worse as a great power to protect it's interests it will get into the affairs of other countries. However America could use a policy of non-interventionism which would steer them clear of easily preventable conflicts such as Libya and Syria.
2. More or less a consquence of the government type of the United States, but yes currently many grid locks exist.
3. Agreed.
4. Modern industralization is always a good idea, however it is an extremely expensive process and something has to be done about preventing companies from outsourcing their workforces to cheaper labour again without harming the American people such as making a compromise that would allow companies to pay Americans barely anything.
5. More or less what I said for 4.
6. I agree but this would have to probably lead to more government involvement and taxes, which a significant amount of people are not too happy about.
7. I don't know too much about this, sorry.
I think the problem is the country is more or less stuck in a catch-22 situation. People want lower taxes, and the debt to decrease, to decrease the military budget but also defend America's allies, less government intervention but also less mega-corporations and lower unemployment along with that the political parties and representatives are reluctant to have a middle ground.
