Have the government trade them to China under ten year work contracts in factories in China to pay off the $3 trillion the US owes China.

When the "unemployable" reaches 50% or 60% or 80% then what do we do?


Especially since the guys wearing suits in a government office downtown tell me I can't kill myself if I so desire.

That is a much wider topic worthy of discussion. The kind of democracy and "free markets" we have now in America are in my opinion a new experiment of epic proportions. The original democracy allowed male (wealthy) guys to vote in limited numbers. Couple of thousands at best. 200M voters in a nation of 300M was never applied before. Athenians had voters with much in common in one city state. Same with capitalism. Originally it wasn't about global mega corporations. Adam Smith didn't speak about Apple and Walmart.

Anyway, as things are now, the Cinese system cannot be duplicated in US.

Of course it cannot.

But the Chinese figured out how to raise the lot of 100's of millions of their people through central edict and moneys. We just need to figure out how to educate our voters on such things.

You think he confiscated jewelry and artwork from people on welfare? Hitler sent valuable productive people he didn't like to the camps pretty much what modern US liberals suggest for anyone who dares to disagree with them.

To be fair: a LOT of our "low class" people ain't breeders like their parents were back in the day. It just seems like it cause many otherwise decent people have NO options between fighting illegal aliens for jobs and what's called sub standard housing being torn down to kiss up to the yuppies and hipsters.
