We’re no longer a republic.
If we don’t fix that FIRST, we’ll never fix anything again.
I think I'll pass. The Federal Reserve has way too much power because we debased the currency by leaving the gold standard. This unconstitutionally gave the Fed complete control over the currency by setting interest rates. The politicians went along because the Fed allows them to spend like drunken sailors and they cream a percent of the bloated budget for themselves and their backers.
What we need is: a) a halt to all immigration; b) stiff tariffs on imported manufactured goods and re-capitalization of American manufacturing; c) massive anti-trust break-ups of the banks, airlines, cell phone companies, etc.; d) restoration of the division between banks and investment banks. Make the banks make money by investing in loans to businesses and not speculation on Wall Street; e) tie executive compensation to long-term company performance so they can't cash in by boosting profits temporarily by gutting a company's core competencies and walking away from a husk like GE and Boeing; f) give the US military the capability to deter any aggression by other great powers. Does anyone thing Russia would have attacked Ukraine if Trump had remained in office?
Above all, restore election integrity.
As someone called it, the agenda to Make America Great Again.
Short of a genuine revolution where most of the current political and business classes are lustrated, I seriously doubt any of this will happen.
The brits resisted subsidy spending in the Depression and exited it long before the war. They were up and running and able to stand alone for just awhile. We did not exit the Depression until and because of the war putting us back to work but that was still financed by the war.
