The people who have read many of my posts know what I'm talking about. I want to see smaller govt. That's the main thing. I'd also like to see our leaders actually follow the constitution. Freedom is worthless huh? I don't see it that way. Change is worthless too? Obama doesn't think so. What the fuck happened to "Hope and Change"? Health insurance companies are a problem. I'd like to see something done about it. I'd also like to see some jobs come back to the u.s. Perhaps I'm a dreamer, but I love this country and am saddened to see what it is becoming.
I think you missed the point. We can talk all day long about how much we love freedom and how we want our representatives to "follow the constitution" but that is worthless till you can nail down specifics.
Specificly what do we do to get this smaller government you want? Do we bring our military spending in line with the rest of the world? Do we cut social programs, which ones? Do we stop regulating products like China? No matter what you do there will be MILLIONS of people who are hurt.
Bringing back jobs sounds good till you realize that globalization is the only reason our shit is so cheap. Protectionist policies on trade would destroy wal-mart's business model putting the 2nd largest employer in the country (and millions of people) at risk. Hate on wal-mart all you want but a dramatic slowdown or god forbid a collapse would probably take a big chunk of our economy with it.
Manufacturing will slowly come back to the US but only after the Chinese develop a middle class and start buying their cheap shit from Vietnam, Eastern Europe and us.
