This shit needs to stop.
It's not that difficult really. Off the top of my head....
1) Stop giving money to other countries. Period. We've spent billions, and it's gotten us no where in the long term.
2) Bring our troops home. I'm not talking about Iraq or Afghanistan. Why have we been maintaining such a huge presence in Korea? Fuck that already. Shut it down and stop spending money there. If currently have bases in like 160 countries. We surely don't need a base in Cuba or Spain or Italy. One base for each region and that's that.
3) Stop welfare. Unemployment stops after a certain period. So should welfare. If you've been on welfare for more than a few years, something's wrong. Give people welfare for six months. If that fails, they should be given minimum wage jobs picking up garbage or grafiti or something. We need to rebuild our infrastructure - have them dig ditches for power lines and gas lines. (I have a friend who does that really.)
This is just off the top of my head. I'm sure I can think of more.
