I am not a US citizen, nor do I live in the US, however... Do you know why the debt has exponentially risen, since 2008? Do you know where your tax dollars are going? Do you know know why interest rates dare not move? I can assure you, it has very, very little to do with the "warring for the past 20 years".
Ok, then, if war cost nothing, US need to start more wars. Maybe invade Peru to take their lithium mines. Could worth a lot of money for the company that go mine there, and stock "traders" here will make big profits.
War is quite costly, however that is not the US issue, right now. The issue seems to be the leadership, foreign policy, government programs, and tax increases.
Well if they start more wars, there will be more arms manufacturing, more jobs for everyone, more taxes collected. If the enemies are destroyed, there will be no worries on the foreign policy because there won't be anyone left to be foreign. The problem I see is the wars are currently too small and not using up any arms at all. Ideal wars would be WW2 sized or bigger, where real money can be made. That means you really have to pick a fight with the russians or the chinese. US leaders need to grow a pair.
#1, #2, #3 --- What does it matter? USA still is a free country, rich in natural resources. Not everything can be measured in Dollars, the value of freedom can not be measured. The USA will always be #1 in my Heart, warts and all. Those who don't like it are always free to leave.
96% of humanity live out side of the US, the problem is not so much to getting people to leave the US, rather getting Americans to leave other people's countries.
anarchy and civil war in the US? How so? You mean the 70% overweight people (aka fatties) will throw burgers and chocolate cakes at each other? Just asking cause they surely can hardly move their ass across the table. The US is an immigrant country, brainwashed by an almost clinical psychosis called politeness. The average people, the middle class, can be told anything, you can treat them in any way you like and they take it. Look at the many hilarious you tube videos: You slap some average Joe in California on the street in the face and nothing happens. Apply the same to anywhere in the US. Most likely you will be lucky enough to not come across the occasional psychopath or criminal. Do the same in Germany or Turkey and you most likely will get your nose badly bruised. The US is run and controlled by a drug called "higher living standard". That is how a) old money, b) the political elite, and c) the economic whales keep all the middle class ducks in line. Promise the dummies in the US that they will ultimately get their own house, back yard, 2nd car, and home theater TV and everyone is happy. Does not matter what taxes you slap them with, does not matter how much money you divert to defense spending or how successful the various lobby groups are in diverting billions of dollars into corporate black holes. The US is controlled by 1% of its population and hilariously the 99% have zero knowledge of it. The US is suffering from fatigue of being overweight. Playing a smaller role abroad and re-focusing on a fairer and more equal distribution of powers and especially savings and income will only do good to this otherwise wonderful and beautiful country.
