My feelings about the economy and what the government needs to do is nothing short of going bankrupt.
If a company goes bankrupt they can change their name and keep on going.Why can’t the USA?
If we consolidated our 50 states into 5 10 state areas and rename the USA into something like (United Federation of States, National alliance of federated states,United Coalition of States…etc) Then each separate set of states would/could have their own uniform federal government like system and then break that down to each of the states have their own state government within that group. That way they all can micro manage the small areas interdependently. If they have problems managing their own areas then there could be a spending council to oversee their expenditures. The President could/would still be the President except there would be 10 small units, each to govern their own affairs within the continent not abroad. Anything that is overseas belonging to one of those 10 groups is watched and overseen by the security commission of that particular small group. I could go on but my limited ideas and in depth knowledge of our government is very sparse indeed…this is just a conception to correct government spending and get the USA out of hock.
