A Radical Plan To Save America’s Economy In One Year

Excerpt:
"The policy measures I suggest are a kind of fiscal time machine – A way to turn back the clock on collapse. Some might consider them “radical” but they are only policies that America USED TO value and that we have been pressured to forget. Can the modern American brain with its steady exposure to big government and socialist programs handle such a shift? It’s hard to say.

I think if people are desperate enough they’ll accept any solution that they feel works. And for now the elites that created the crisis are the only group offering a way out (a false way out). If I could snap my fingers (or if I was king for year), this is the list of actions I would undertake to save the American economy before the end of 2025 (or at least set it on the the path to resurrection)."

    Statistics and Probability were a couple of college classes I just could GET. So I have to hand it to the actuaries who get it right. I have no idea how they do it.

    I dont think I would like to own an insurance company. you cant really predict the weather or how many accidents people will have, or what injuries they will have... I have to hand it to the companies that ARE out there. Its a tough business for sure

    If a private company "deficit spends' by issuing bonds, it falls upon the stockholders to pay the bills when they come due. When government deficit spends, it simply uses force to tax the citizens without their consent to foot the bill. That, i think, is evil and should be forbidden. Its the fact that taxes collected by force thats the difference

    I would dispute a bit on the "equitable" part. The insurance company will charge as much as it can get away with, and still get the customer to actually sign up

    I haven't been back to this thread for a while and missed a lot.

    "So, how do we cover the local infrastructure?" There are ways to tax and raise revenue without placing a lien on your property or confiscating your production at gunpoint - an abomination on a people calling themselves "free". Tariffs and sales taxes on non essentials is probably the best because EVERYONE gets to see what it is. You want more stuff from government with a tax for all to see? Maybe the people will decide they don't want or need as much government "help" and will endeavor to do more on their own. Keep in mind the greatest government expenses are not in building roads or sewers.

    Of course not. And I apologize for not being more clear - at times I do not explain the reason for the thoughts behind a statement. I was referring to US - Mexico water sharing agreement. The agreement quotes are directly from the congressional reports, and the quote on how Mexico is not living up the the agreement is from the BBC.

    "Colorado River. The Colorado River flows through seven U.S. states before reaching Mexico;
    97% of its basin is in the United States. Under the 1944 Water Treaty, the United States is
    required to provide Mexico with 1.5 million acre-feet (AF) of Colorado River water annually.
    This figure represents about 10% of the river’s average flow."

    "Rio Grande. The Rio Grande is governed by two separate agreements. Deliveries to Mexico in
    the northwestern portion of the shared basin (near El Paso/Ciudad Juárez) occur under a 1906
    convention, whereas deliveries for the southeastern portion (which is below Fort Quitman, TX"

    "A bilateral treaty signed in 1944 says the two countries must share water sources along their arid border.

    Mexican farmers say they need the water themselves, in what has been one of the driest years in decades.

    But the US says Mexico has recently not been fulfilling the agreement and owed almost a year's worth of water.

    Last month, hundreds of Mexican farmers seized La Boquilla dam in Chihuahua state to stop water being diverted to the US, leading to violent clashes with Mexico's National Guard. "

    So again, apologize for not having enough info for my comments originally but with the water agreement, although they did not "build a canal to carry water to Mexico City" there is an agreement that ties in the water that comes from the Colorado, and thus the dam, and the water that is used is MX.

    ... and all their assets tracked down and seized including any "shared" with relatives, friends, and comrades in treason in any location in the universe.

    France has 48 million voters. Paper ballots. Results were counted before midnight.

    India has 969 million voters!
    Yet this third world nation counted all their hundreds of millions of ballots paper ballots before midnight!

    So why is it the most advance country in the world can't keep pace with a ginormous mud-hut country?
    Unless it is being done on purpose.
    And what is that purpose?
    To Cheat!

    These traitors to our Republic need to be treated like the traitors they are: stood up against a stone wall and shot.
