How to fix America's woes in one easy blog.

   Let's face it. America is in serious trouble. Our economy sucks like a Hoover vacuum cleaner.
   The Affordable Care Act is turning America's healthcare system into a joke. Our foreign policy is a complete failure. Our borders might as well be unguarded and welcome mats rolled out for all the security we place on our borders.
   We give welfare and other public assistance to illegal immigrants and make our veterans jump through hoops for needed medical and educational assistance.
   How do we fix this?
   It's easier than you think.
   It begins with the economy. If Obama had any brains at all, he would follow JFK's lead and cut taxes, especially on corporations. The US has the highest corporate tax rate on the planet. Doesn't take a "Hahvahd Constitutional Scholar" to figure out nobody goes somewhere to pay higher taxes.
   When you cut taxes, you bring home more profit and are able to take some of that profit, turn it into factories and JOBS, create more product (or provide a service) and thus create more income and pay taxes on that.
  With more jobs comes the employer's need to have a smart, capable workforce. To get that, the employers must offer competitive wages and benefits designed to attract and retain the best and brightest. Get enough employers doing this, and access to health care becomes a problem that could be handled by SERIOUSLY REVISED AND DOWNSIZED Medicare and Medicaid programs.
   One problem with American Foreign Policy is not consistent because our political leadership is not consistent. By "consistent," I mean the goals of the nation are the driving force behind foreign policy decisions, not the politics that get the ruling party elected. Our politicians must remember that our foreign policy will affect ALL American, not just the support groups of a political party.
   The first and foremost duty of a government is to ensure the security of its borders, territories and security of its citizens. America must have a coherent, CONSISTENT immigration policy that works. STREAMLINING the LEGAL immigration process is a start. Deportation of illegals and "anchor babies" is another part of it. Harry Truman did it, why can't we do it today?
   Our borders are a joke. I would do whatever it took, up to and including posting military forces to stop illegal immigrants. Think this is tyrannical? I'm just taking a play from the Communists. The Iron Curtain was (officially) built to defend Eastern Europe from deprived capitalists seeking to take unearned benefits of socialism for themselves. It worked. :)
  End of illegal immigration problem.
  With increased revenues from putting Americans back to work, there will be money to deliver promised benefits to our veterans who have earned them. Those who are injured/wounded will be treated by the best physicians available.
   And it all starts when Americans take off the blinders and see the Democrat party is not what it appears to be. When America throws the Democrats out, sanity will begin to return to our legislative process. Laws that benefit AMERICA, not just the favored few or lobbyists will be passed.
   It all starts with a vote.
