Discussion on the current debt crisis

Good call

 

In my view there are numerous problems that need to addressed.

 

Foreign aid- especially for countries that despise us. We've got plenty of our own problems. The US remains the biggest spender with a total of $30.2bn, the largest aid disbursement ever recorded by a single donor. (2010) I'm sure the number is higher now.

 

Wheat and grains- why do we give it away? Why don't we trade it for oil. That will keep costs lower for everything in the US.

 

The constant wars with no real end game - this is going on and on. Either we are in it to win it, or we need to isolate ourselves from them. Let them do what what they want, and secure the border.

 

The complete and utter bloat of the Federal government- All things not covered in the Constitution, are to be handled by the states. There should be no federal department of education, FDA, DEA, NSA, etc etc etc. We could save sooo much money in getting rid of all the unnecessary, and unconstitutional "government".

 

I'm sure there are more, I'm just tired of typing...

 

The problem with debt is that eventually the debtors come calling. If you keep piling it up, eventually you're going to default. Then, you know what China is not going to want...our worthless dollar. They're going to want land, resources, and favors.
