I feel like everyone on this forum, myself included, seems to have input on how to make the country better. I notice that we all profess to know a great deal about economics, healthcare, climate science, and virtually every other politically relevant issue.
So, I'm curious about what your top five suggestions are specfically to make the USA a better place with regards to our economy, healthcare, entitlement programs, etc.

Things naturally go in cycles. There is no city-state, nation-state, kingdom or empire, on this earth, that has remained at the top of the world or its own zenith perpetually. I think the US reached the peak of its cycle in the 70's. Every since then we have maintained and grown though artificial means, such as debt accumulation. We now have a debt based economy. If we do not keep the debt going and increasing, the economy suffers. Thus, the question is what is the goal of the fix or solution? Is the goal to maintain the economy, through debt, or to put the economy in equilibrium between what the nation produces and what it consumes? The latter represents a deep reduction in the standard of living of Americans, via a managed decline. The former represents continuing standards of living via untenable debts.....which will likely lead to some sort of economic crash in the future.
1. Tax rate set to 50%-no deducts. source of income irrelevant, stocks, inheritance, working in the field. 50%.
2. government spending+5% of deficit reduction subtracted from it
3. balance divided amongst the population as a guaranteed untaxed income.
4. minimum wage, section 8, welfare, food stamps, etc...removed.
5. all senior govt officials barred from further employment or income of any sort, and given a lifelong stipend of 10X the guaranteed income, presidents at 50X+lifetime security detail, etc.
Done. Suddenly everyone cares about government spending, and a efficient economy.
LOL...what would you suggest since apparently democratically elected presidents aren't your forte.
Well, I should clarify since it led to confusion. Now that I reread it, I wasn't clear at all. It's not the actual process of voting that is concerning. It's the fact that we have people blindly voting based on what the media says.
