Our Nation Faces a Debt Crisis. Here's How to Fix It.

Perry Johnson May 23, 2023

There are a few moments in history that require specific actions, and if they’re not taken, things can spiral out of control rapidly.  Two troubling problems we face as a country are intersecting at one moment in history — the pervasiveness of career politicians and their addiction to out-of-control spending.  In effect, they buy their way into office then stay there by robbing you, your children, and your grandchildren through untenable debt.

Let me share with you what I believe: Our debt is not sustainable, our spending is out of control, and both parties are responsible for today’s economic crisis playing out in Washington. It will take a political outsider and a realistic plan, like my ‘Two-Cents To Save America,’ to fix our borrowing problem and ultimately save America from a downward spiral.  The Biden White House is lying to you when they say that a fight over the debt ceiling and potential spending cuts are putting our economy at risk, or that we are risking the devaluing of our dollar.  The reality is that what’s causing the risk and devaluing are THEIR actions........America is going down a path it cannot continue to follow. We are drowning in debt, spending more than we ever have, and making decisions that would bankrupt any family. .........

The Pentagon regularly failed audits and cannot account for trillions of dollars. The Department of Education, with its $175 billion budget, helps spread woke ideology while our children fall behind in basic subjects like reading and writing. We pay and reward people not to work, after locking down schools and businesses...........We need the government to go on a diet, and this would do that effectively. If we spend just two cents less, we can balance the budget......To Read More....

My Take - The first thing that needs to be done is dismantle all these Departments, agencies and bureaus, and that's done by slashing their budgets until they hit zero.  Repeal the 16th Amendment, that will pretty much eliminate the IRS, and the billions of dollars it costs just to maintain them.  As of 10 years ago the government of the United States has assets of 150 trillion dollars, and it's high time those assets were sold, including the approximately 24% of the land mass of the U.S.
