We need to tell the environmental whackos to sit down and shut up and we need to build refineries, open oil fields, coal mining, timber, reopen steel mills- get back to the basics and if we did all this and cut spending we could work our way out of debt using our natural resources. We also need to do away with many government regulations and fees that choke businesses so they will bring their companies back to the U.S. and hire workers.
We need to assess the government ownership of so much land, especially in the West and determine what land could be put into production of some sort- agriculture, mining, timber. That land needs to be sold or even traded for some land that we might want to protect for people to enjoy. As it is now the government owns far too much land, more than they can possibly manage which is why we have dopers taking over some areas for pot growing. Between marijuana farming and dangerous illegal traffic on a lot of government lands the public cannot use it now anyway.
Of course we also need to round up all the illegals and deport them, we are broke and don’t need the parasites. We need to also cut social programs to the point that even a minimum wage job will pay far more than anyone can get on the dole to get our citizen slackers back to work.
There are ways to get this country back on its feet, we will have to stand up to the politicians and whackos that put us where we are today.
There is indeed much that can be done but in order to do any of it requires that we unelect the current idiot in chief!
