That's a fair argument. I can agree that our defense spending is quite large and in fact unnecessary. Seems that could like you said pay for some of these things. The money is obviously there, it just seems to be wasted and misused. Growing up, my folks taught me how to keep a budget and stick to one. Amazes me how the U.S. government has yet to figure this out. I understand there's a lot of moving parts, but still. BUDGET. PROPERLY.
Yeah definitely. I would say less business subsidies too. Probably eliminate most, if not all, help for big businesses. If they can't compete with the resources they have, then they just can't make it. I'm for helping smaller businesses that have legit reasons to need help. Much of the money goes to the most gigantic companies like Nike and Boeing. It's no coincidence that they make the most political donations.

Not really seeing how that utopia is gonna look like or how productive its gonna be. How about just call out the corrupt institutions and make other countries productive.
LOL
Basically I would want my country to be maybe slightly to the right of your country, instead of being by far the most right wing in the first world.
