Can This Nation Be Saved?

The answer to the question is ‘NO.’

There is no possible way that the Washington politicians will solve the financial disaster coming from Congress. All the unrelenting bullsh*t coming from Congress about fixing the financial crisis is making me very happy. That’s because their malfeasance will bring about secession sooner. The DC boys and girls are all trying to look like they’re fixing it, but they are just kicking the can down the road. There has not been ONE proposal floated that is serious about saving America.

Remember what Congress did to seal a deal on the 2011 budget…less than $40 Billion in spending cuts, and most of them were not immediate, and most were only cuts in proposed increased spending? This on a budget that is $1.3 TRILLION in the red. It was only back in the Clinton years that the entire budget was less than $1 trillion. Now the red ink is more than the whole budget used to be.

The present Congress, and any laws they pass, cannot bind any future Congress to do anything. So, all of these negotiations being wrangled between Dems and Repubs are entirely meaningless, and are only window dressing to make voters think that Washington intends to police itself.

The rest of the nations of the world are watching the USA to see what Washington is going to do to fix the mess it has made. And they will do what we do.

Cuts in Federal spending must be made immediately if the United States is to be pulled back from certain economic collapse. Here’s a short list of my recommendations:

• Suspend the Federal Income Tax for one year.

• Cease all foreign aid of any kind immediately. No more payments to anyone for anything.

• Cancel all mutual defense treaties immediately, including NATO.

• Cancel our membership in the United Nations, and evict it from American soil.

• Close all military bases outside the USA immediately.

• Downsize the US military by at least 50%.

• Cancel all military weapons contracts.

• Mothball at least 50% of our Navy and Air Force fleets.

• End all foreign wars immediately.

• Enact a 50% budget cut for all Federal departments immediately.

• Sell Federal land, buildings, etc immediately.

• Sell the US Post Office immediately.

• No increase in the Federal debt ceiling. Allow the US Federal government to default on its bond interest payments if necessary.

There are more that need doing, but these would be enough to get us started.
