The Best America can Hope for

The best thing we as the American Public, Taxpayers, and Consumers can do for ourselves as we look to 2023 figure things out is to get ourselves prepared for what we know is on the horizon. We're definitely on the knife's edge of Decline both Foreign and Domestic, the point is to mitigate whatever the damage that'll come with that.

• We cannot expect Government to solve the very underlying problems that it created to begin with. We certainly cannot expect Government to make anyone whole when the same US Government cannot even balance its own checkbook or secure its own Borders. There's hard work that's going to have to be done to get the United States and its Citizenry out of the Economic and Financial cesspool that's come about. The manufactured Coronavirus Pandemic, the 2020 Roll of the Dice (aka Election), The FTX Scandal, and subsequent Recession has reminded Taxpayers of this fact. There aren't going to be anymore Bailouts from the Government, We The People have to roll up our sleeves and bail ourselves out by doing things the Old Fashioned way and hard work.

• We need truely healthy Free Market Economic and Monetary Policy so American Taxpayers and Consumers can be able to take full advantage of the benefits and keep the Fruits of their own Labor, also able to grow and keep their Wealth.

• We need Foreign Affairs based on what the Founders understood to begin with; Trade, Commerce, and Honest Friendship with other Countries but entangling Alliances with none. A Foreign Policy that Talks, Negotiates with, Trades with, has Cultural exchanges with. We never use Economic Warfare or any Warfare against any Country without a Constitutional Declaration of War from The US Congress first! We treat other Countries the way we ourselves want to be treated. You can't bark about Human Rights when you don't practice it yourself.

Seasons Greetings to all...
• Most importantly, we must have a Limited Constitutional Government that does away with the so called Nanny State. The less Government we have, the more Freedom the People have. The Government that governs least governs best...

Sorry no. The free market jazz is not going to be a substitute for democracy. Democracy id our human right.

@Roundandroundwego Democracy is not a right. It is a privilege you fight to keep against tyrants, or you lose it.. "So whats it going to be , Punk!"😷

Ask;
the Iraqi Citizenry...
the Afghani Citizenry...
the Syrian Citizenry...
the Libyan Citizenry...
and the Iranian Citizenry...

I would ask them how well American Democracy worked out for them since I dare say they didn't ask for it nor did they ever want it. I'd dare ask the US Taxpayers how much they like paying for their Democracy given the Inflation we have as far as the eye can see. I'd dare ask US Consumers how they like their bought and paid for Democracy given the fact that the US Dollar is nothing more than a Candy Wrapper as a Foreign Minister recently described it.

If this is all Democracy has to offer, you can keep it, and it just goes to show you;
We create the Monsters we eventually become afraid of...
@Broache73 the USA is exactly the opposite of democracy. It's a dictatorship.
But people understand that. The rest of the world is getting around the global tyrant the best they can. Cooperative efforts are expanding.
Finally trade without war and without dollars can become possible. Sanctions by America will be impossible.
It's US law and part of the UN charter that all government must guarantee the human right to participate in democracy. No other government is really legal.
@Broache73 Ironically pretty much every country on that list and several others you forget are the way they are thanks to American imperialism and US foreign policy with a bit of left over European colonialism.

@Broache73 You are very sadly mistaken if you think what you have in the US is democracy. Don't dam it until you have experienced proper better expressions of it.
