Marianne,
You & I share a similar spiritualism, and yet, are disparate politically. I once thought like you, about universal-healthcare, tuition-free college, and an overall expansion of the services our government provides to society. I supported Bernie Sanders.
I see it differently now.
What I've learned is that the systems of "care" you covet --could & would swiftly become systems of control once you were succeeded by someone of lesser empathy, which is inevitable.
I fully agree that the American playing-field has been rendered inequitable. But the way to remedy this is not the expansion of government gifts, it's the shrinkage of government to subsistence levels, a monolithic neutering of taxation, and the return of manufacturing to our shores --value which has been offloaded by globalists for decades, with the aim of conquering us-- and thereby a restoration of America as the greatest economic force on Earth, both the #1 consumer-nation in the world and a manufacturing powerhouse!
See, presently, we've been (intentionally) placed in a precarious position. We've been removed from the gold standard, primarily so a military establishment driven by megalomaniacal globalist ambitions could have unlimited funds with which to build their new world order; and then coupled with that has been the offshoring of American manufacturing jobs en masse.
So as our nation-razing ways have driven our national-debt skyward to truly hyperbolic levels, the value our country generates has simultaneously plummeted. We consume-consume-consume, but we do not create at the industrial level like we did from the 30s -through- the 90s when Clinton implemented NAFTA, bankrupt American car-builders, and squashed the negotiating power of workers nationwide.
Globalism has always included the destruction of the American order. For a new-world empire to be built, the old-world empires must fall. We were warned by our brilliant forefathers how to topple this giant they built:
---
“There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation. One is by the sword. The other is by debt.” ~John Adams, 1826
---
Even more pointedly from our greatest Founding Father:
---
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered. I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs." ~Thomas Jefferson
---
This coordinated effort to remove the value behind our currency, drive America's debt through the stratosphere, while eliminating our value as a manufacturing nation --if not curtailed immediately-- will be the Land of Liberty's demise. These economic conditions are unsustainable and we teeter on the collapse of the Dollar. If the value of the Dollar disappears, for a nation with $33 trillion in debt and little innate value beyond how much we spend, Spend, SPEND ...
.... destitution is the only outcome.
We must end the crazed-crusade to remake the world in a homogenized image & likeness. America is a great idea but was never designed to oversee a global empire. We argue for diversity but demand international mimicry while failing to uphold our own Constitution in hypocrisy. We must, indeed, make America great again.
This is accomplished much more earnestly through Donald Trump's plans than it would be with yours, or certainly Biden's. For instance, did you know that Trump's tariffs on Chinese-made solar-panels caused U.S. solar-panel manufacturing to triple under his watch? Did you also know that local unions petitioned the Biden Administration to continue Trump's tariffs because of how good for their industry they had been?
Biden started buying solar-panels from China again, instead of helping his citizens maximize our value. This has long been the globalist's game, and one your designs for our government would empower. I don't doubt your sincerity but I think your solutions are contrary to our genuine needs.
He's an imperfect man, bombastic, narcissistic, but Trump's plans are the right ones; and God works in mysterious ways. We must decentralize. NATO should have been dissolved after the Cold War. Its sustainment has led to more strife than it's halted, by far.
#Perpetual
The U.N. is complicit in human-trafficking.
The World Health Organization are terrorists.
It's time for America to stop playing world-police and let the planet figure itself out, just as we have. Just as we are. We went through our Civil War. We emancipated our slaves. We've evolved toward human-rights.
The point being, no "big brother nation" came along and forced us to evolve. We chose it, which is the only way sincere transformation occurs. We must pull back our meddling tentacles from a world that wants to be multipolar and tend our. Own. GARDEN.
Be the lamplight on the hill once more through earnest illumination, and inspire peoples in other nations to follow our lead. As it used to be.
Shrink the government.
Eliminate the income-tax.
Disband all 3-letter agencies.
Restore domestic manufacturing.
Outlaw homelessness.
Improve wages.
--and all the things you want the government to do for people, the people can do for themselves; and that, more than anything, is the American Dream.
Consider supporting Donald Trump for President.
& help us save the day from these villains.
At the very least, don't be one of them.
ńamaste,
U.G.
