Ten Ways to Improve Our Country

 Yeah, I know, it's been a while since I posted last, but to be honest I was keeping a low profile for the past year for reasons I won't go into here, but now the time has come for me to start posting again.

And boy, do I have a lot to say.

Let's start out the year and my return to my blog with Ten Ways to Improve Our Country.  As usual, the contents of this blog are my opinion which I base on what I see, hear, and experience, so keep that in mind.  I'm quite sure there are those who will disagree vehemently with what I'm about to say, and that's fine - just be respectful if you choose to comment as I will either flame you mercilessly or simply delete your comment if you choose the low road.

Having said that, let's get started, shall we?

1.  Set term limits of eight years for members of Congress.  When Congress voted on a term limit for the President in 1947, they did so saying that it wasn't good for the country for one man to have so much power for so long.  And of course, they turned a blind eye to the fact that this applied to them as well as the President, something that they still turn a blind eye to even now.  We have dinosaurs in Congress that have held office for more than FIFTY YEARS and have accomplished relatively little in that time.  Hell, even "Creepy Joe" Biden only got ONE bill passed into law in the entire FORTY-SEVEN YEARS he was in the Congress, a law that he later overturned when he became President.   It's way past time for the Congress to have the same term limits as the President.

(If you thought I was going to start this list out with "Impeach Joe Biden" as the #1 way to improve our country, you were almost right.  I almost did, but that would leave us with Kamala "The Hoe" Harris as President, and that would be even worse than what we have now.)

2.  Secure our Southern border.  And we do this one way and one way only - BUILD THE GODDAM WALL.

3.  Make balancing the budget a requirement to hold Congressional office.  I guarantee you that if we pass a law requiring members of Congress to balance the budget in order to be eligible to hold office or run for re-election, the deficit will disappear.

4.  Stop All financial aid to other countries.  That's right, ALL of them - Britain, Canada, Mexico, the Ukraine, Turkey, EVERYONE.  And if this impacts any trade agreements we have with other countries, then so be it - start manufacturing the stuff in THIS COUNTRY like we used to and put the American people back to work while you're at it.  Will it be tough?  Sure, it will, but only until we get used to it.  After all, if we can endure eight years of NObama and four years of Biden, we can endure anything.

5.  Give the money saved in #4 to our VETERANS.  Do I really need to justify this one?

6.  Reinstate the Keystone Pipeline permits.  Another one I shouldn't have to explain.  Before Biden took office the United States was energy independent (thanks to Donald Trump), and by revoking the permits for the Keystone Pipeline "Creepy Joe" killed both that independence and the American economy.  Bringing the pipeline back only makes good sense for a lot of reasons - more jobs and lower gas prices, just to name two.

7.  Require all elected members of the Federal government to make their tax returns public.  I, for one, would LOVE to know how someone can go into Congress with a net worth of $150,000.00 and end up four years later with a net worth of SIX MILION DOLLARS.  And when I say ALL elected members, that includes the President and the Vice President.  

8.  Enact a federal Voter ID law that restricts voting to US CITIZENS ONLY and REQUIRES a valid ID in order to vote.  Admittedly this one will run afoul of the Tenth Amendment, so it's largely up to the states to do this and for the Feds to just butt the fuck out of it.

9.  Deport ALL illegal aliens.  The impact on jobs for Americans will be felt almost immediately; the effect on the economy by not having to shell out BILLIONS of dollars every year for health care and benefits for those who are in this country ILLEGALLY and DON'T DESERVE IT will take a little longer.  

10.  Abolish the Federal Income Tax.  This country did just fine without it until Abraham Lincoln thought it up to finance his illegal and unconstitutional war against the Southern states.  We did it once, we can do it again.  And, as a side benefit, since there's no income tax there won't be a need for the IRS, will there?  WINNER WINNER, CHICKEN DINNER!

And this is just for starters.  I can name at least another six or seven ways we can improve our country (like abolishing the Demoncratic party, for one) but I'll save those for another time.

Let the flaming begin!
