America no more?

When I was young, I looked at life as an adventure, endless possibilities, and a country that did things.  America Made meant something; A certain national pride. Work hard, and the American Dream will come to you.  Be a good man, a supportive human being to your loved ones.  Be a good father by providing for your children and putting them first in all things.  The American Dream, was success, was earning your way to a home of your own, was providing for your family to have a better life then one may have had without the opportunities we are blessed with under our Constitution.  Freedom and Liberty secured in a land of opportunity…  America no more. 

What does a man have to look forward too in America today?  We are free to incur low paying jobs in an ever inflated cost of living.  But if we dare earn our way out of poverty we are to be stricken as opportunistic an unjustified capitalist and repressor of the people?  We watch as the money we save is deflated in value every time the Fed prints more money to fund things they can not afford.  Have a Dollar in your pocket? Nope sorry by the time you read this that is only 60 cents…  Its no wonder the cost of everything is so high every time anyone turns around. 

What does our children have to look forward to as an American?  Debt.  The debt of their fore fathers hammering down upon them, crushing their lives in every way. With no hope of ever finding their own way out of it.  The Dream is lost to them.  And if you haven’t found it yet, quite possibly to us as well. 

Why?  America can not sustain itself.  It could, and should, but doesn’t.  instead of developing our own competitive resources to drive away foreign markets, we concede our resources to foreign powers and they turn around and provide cheaply made goods.  The humanity of this is repulsive.  That $50 dvd player prob cost about $4 to be made in china with forced labor camps.  Could be made here for around $15 but that would cut into profits too much for these un-American companies. 

America used to drill for oil for ourselves, Make Steel for American Industry, We as a country encouraged development of business IN AMERICA FOR AMERICANS.  We grew our own food, we developed our own lands, and that is why we had opportunities. As a country we traded opportunity away to other countries for convenience and easy profits, and then locked up our resources with regulations making it near impossible for many companies to operate within the USA.  America has hundreds of year’s worth of Oil, Coal, Steel, Aluminum, Paper, Water, and rich soil for growing.  The majority of the country has rich growing seasons availed to them.  Our sciences know how NOW to grow in near hostile environments through hydroponics. We have rich clean sources of power with nuclear, and Thermal, and Hydro electric and even clean coal (which developing countries are using American Designs to do already while America continues to stagnate on our own development)  We have the man power and education as well.  Foreign countries send their people here to learn the advanced engineering skills and they return to their countries to implement them. 

America MUST focus on our own country again.  We must put our people second to NONE.  We must educate and develop our own future through our children so they have every opportunity we were blessed to have prior.  Ask NOT what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.  No time before has this statement had more meaning.  Don’t sit with your hand out begging for scraps from the government, take your government back and secure your liberty as Americans.  For only them will the American Dream be within the grasp of your children, and your childrens children. 

Punish companies not operating within America with Tariffs and fines.  And if they don’t return even then, replace them.  Develop our resources for here.  Not for foreign markets.  All Exports of such national treasures and resources must be stopped by all means.  No more sending tankers to foreign lands only to have our people having to spend more for foreign imports of fuel that we do not need.  Develop our resources for our own country and cut out foreign imports.   Grow our own foods, Encourage communities to have gardens.  Encourage new business IN COUNTRY.  Reward them for their patriotism. Encourage Clean power development and completion IN COUNTRY.  Our clean coal plants should be fired up and running full steam not sitting idle strangled by endless regulations.  Nuclear power should be developed in regions that its feasible.  Especially places like the deep unoccupied deserts or vast isolation of the deep wilderness of Alaska.  Such power will allow development of even more cleaning sources of power throughout the future.  As well as encourage Development and expansion of civilization. 

We can secure the American Dream again, As Americans WE MUST.  If we do not, and the dream is truly lost to endless debt and rationing, we are doomed as a people.  As too is the world.
