Simply put, the government strives for domination, and in the process, blow trillions they dont have. ESPECIALLY in our military. Until we curb (if we ever curb) the deficit, we should return to isolationism. Our military is so grossly overpowered because of our trillions spent in the futility of being the word policeman that we've seen the debt rise over 5 trillion from one single two term president and another 5 trillion from another. WE need to stop trying to be the best in the world and instead focus on being the best we have the ability to ACTUALLY be, not borrow ourselves into something we cant afford.
Military needs to be cut immensely, taxes needs to be enforced for ALL, Illegal immigration laws need to be enforced, Corporations need to be reviewed with the utmost thoroughness and NOT be allowed to price gouge, and monopolies need to be eliminated.
The biggest threat in any free market economy is corporations getting so powerful that their collapse from dangerously catastrophic investments would take everyone affiliated with them down with it. The workers, the investors, stock players, partners, (assuming they sold goods) market price gouging.
I believe that us trying to borrow our way into being a world leader is absolutely impossible and destructive.
