This is by far one of the most retarded thing's I have read.
The only thing that should be done is invest heavily in infrastructure, education and social services; we already do science and medical research; health care falls under social services. You also can't just "pay off debt" especially if you spend a shit ton on lavish things like what I listed; if you could pay for everything, you wouldn't have debt.
Are you a beaner? Is that why you're retarded?

>>51041420

Colour me surprised, also you can use that same ticket to transfer to a bus or take as many trains as you need to as long as you don't leave the subway; so I don't see a problem.

Are you saying our disgustingly high military budget is justifiable? The Iraq War was a catastrophic failure and waste of money. We have hundreds of thousands of troops stationed around the world. We don't need them there, I'd love to hear your argument for maintaining such a large and expensive military.
>>51040962

You can if you cut back military spending and bring in more tax revenues from legal drugs.

are you even aware of how much of our military budget goes to R&D?
Do you think we spend trillions on troops standing around doing nothing?

How about you get your retarded ass off the internet which was created by DARPA using military funding since you want to cut it so bad?
I mean something like this (when I was student I had a same), but now I got degree and use anonymous transport card
>>51041036
Same reason you have top in many academics/patents etc, you import foreign talent by having big name universities/networks etc.
Not criticising at all, its the best thing to do, but don't make the mistake of thinking that success is due to your education system as a whole.
There's no harm in improving something even if it already functions well for the country. You can't deny that the majority of universities are degree farms and American high school is a joke.

lel, you clearly have no idea about how strong unions are here, or in France, or other countries. Americans have no idea how useful they are, to the point that most of you probably think that it's a commie concept.

>>51042192
Here's both charts combined. As you can see, military spending doesn't make up a lot. For fucks sake, it's only around 3.5 percent of the US's GDP

The only people who care about what Russia or eve China does militarily are the people who don't understand the military industrial complex. Fuck, when China started upgrading to MIRV's everyone and their mother was freaking out in my city/on facebook. Even though that tech is from the fucking cold war.
Even when the T-14 Armata came out, nobody gave a shit because we knew it was going to be trash. And guess what, it broke down on the unveiling in some parade. How predictable. The only military people who pretend to give a shit are the ones who know that this is a great way to get some increased funding for a bit, so they play it up, like you said. And everyone who has been in the military knows that's how it goes.
>>51040695
>legalize all drugs
Do you honestly think this is going to solve anything? Black market drugs will still be cheaper, and you've basically legalized death in the form of powder or a syringe.
>invest heavily in Mexico
Why? The only thing that needs to be done there is to wipe out the drug cartels. Mexico isn't some impoverished wasteland like Honduras or Guatemala. They just need a boost to get back onto their feet.
>drastically (but gradually) decrease military spending, bring our boys back home
Do you honestly think this is going to make things any better? Do you think that China and Russia are going to be happy friends with us just because we've pulled out? It's like you have no fucking understanding of how international politics work. Probably because you don't.
>pay off national debt
The majority of it is owed to private industry, and debt is actually a weapon the US can wield effectively, despite all these buzzwords from the politicians claiming it's bad. It's not bad because we have the capacity to pay it off, it's part of an overarching economic strategy.
>invest heavily in infrastructure
I agree with this.
>invest heavily in education, social services, science research, health care
Education doesn't need any more boosts than it already has, the only thing we need to do is get rid of the fucking Common Core system.
We don't need to invest anything else in social services. We don't need to flood more money into the welfare system.
Science research is undertaken nowadays by private companies since NASA's basically neutered by the government. And I say this is a good thing, companies have a competitive drive to make good technology, rather than the government that's going to go in a single hiveminded direction.
Health care, I'm not even going to wad into that murky lake.
All in all, you have a retarded idea and you're pretty much on par with most of the far left that has no idea how the world works.

>>51042540
>>51042760

Exactly, that's my point. The amount of money you're being funded with and what you're actually doing are on two different playing fields entirely.
NASA is neutered, as I said. They could be doing so much more, but instead, they're being fucked in the A by political games and "priorities."

"I've pointed out before that science and technology is advancing by leaps and bounds, and that the U.S. leads the world in them. Our problem is our screwed-up government. It needs to be about one-fifth of the size it is now. I'd settle for that.
However, the rest of the world is in lots worse shape."
This article is from the Dallas Morning News and is written by Cheryl Hall.
And when the 41-year-old geopolitical analyst from Austin studies the U.S. map, he sees the world’s economic powerhouse for the next several decades, perhaps much longer.
Why?
The U.S. has the world’s most extensive navigable river system, most productive agricultural land, an “ocean moat” that provides defensible trade access to the world and economic allies on its borders, says the author of The Accidental Superpower, published last year.
Factor in the size of the U.S. Navy, and you’ll realize America is the only country with total global military reach and the capacity to shut down essential shipping channels if threatened.
“You can look at a map of any country, its topography, look at the climate, study a bit about the culture, history and the military system, and understand what they’re worried about,” Zeihan says in a recent interview.
He uses this unusual set of forecasting tools to help the business world figure out how to home in on opportunities and avoid global disasters. And there’s no place like home, he says.
Other pistons in the U.S. engine:
Demography. Other countries face much sharper economic decline as their populations age by an average of 25 percent faster than ours. “We are the only developed country that has a population cohort of Gen Y [currently ages 11 to 33] who will provide economic growth for the next 30 years,” he says. “Since 1974, the Canadians, the Japanese, the Germans, the Chinese stopped having kids. There’s been this 30-year baby bust in the rest of the world. So all the growth is going to be here.”
So everyone's answer is to maintain our large and cut welfare and healthcare spending?
>>51043241
Shale oil. By the end of next year, North America will be at net-zero oil imports. The break-even cost of production will be about $35 a barrel.
“You’re looking at the United States being cost competitive with every energy producer in the world outside of the Persian Gulf at the same time as it hits energy independence,” Zeihan says.
Isolation
All of this is coming together as the United States shifts into an isolationist mode that will probably leave out China, Japan, South Korea and Europe (with the exception of the U.K.) as favored trading partners.
The U.S. no longer needs a trading alliance it established after World War II to contain the Soviet Union, and there’s growing resentment that some of our allies are feasting on our goodwill.
“Russia really gets screwed in this future,” he says, because it was never a comrade in trade.
“To be perfectly blunt, Americans are tired of the rest of the world,” Zeihan says. “The question is whether this retrenchment lasts for five years or 60. The conscious decision of countries like Germany and China to maximize exports and take advantage of the environment that the U.S. created isn’t winning free trade many fans here.”
It’s a concern that Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump can share, even if they disagree on remedies.
“Seven percent of our GDP is from exports, and most of that is from NAFTA,” Zeihan says. “The rest is from a short list of countries that we’re probably going to keep in the allied network. Instead of 150-plus countries, the network is going to be more like a couple dozen. If you’re in that group, party on. If you’re not, it’s going to be horrible.”
>>51043309
Zeihan worked for Stratfor Global Intelligence, a well-regarded geopolitical company in Austin, for 12 years before going out on his own with his company, Zeihan on Geopolitics LLC, three years ago. He was in town late last month to give the keynote speech at the Commerce Street Conference at the George W. Bush Presidential Center.
Wait, what?
Zeihan is articulate, edgy, highly informed and oddly entertaining about topics that are anything but amusing. At times, I’d think, “Whoa! Is he serious?” — such as when he predicted that China, Japan and Russia might cease to exist in their current forms — before I’d conclude that he might be onto something.
For example:
“The Russian population collapse is one of the most severe in the world. Five years from now, the Russians will not have sufficient demographic capacity to man the Red Army. It’ll be less than half the size that it is today. So if the Russians are going to use military strategy to assure brighter days, Putin knows they have to do it now. And so he is by expanding west.”
Or how about:
“There is a lot of noise breaking out of the international system about Saudi Arabia, Syria, Iran, Russia, the Ukraine and China. There’s this perception that things are falling apart. And they are. It’s not myth. Things really are falling apart. But international instability doesn’t hurt the United States anymore. In fact, if you want to be really cold about it, it actually helps.”
Then there was:
“Anyone who’s dumb enough to poke us, they’re screwed. The United States still has the military capacity to interfere with international trade anytime it wants to. The U.S. Navy is 10 times as powerful as all of the world’s other navies put together. Any country that decides to mess with the United States for any reason faces an entity that has the ability to shut down the world and not care what happens the next day.”
>>51043298
There's much more to do than just cutting the retarded and useless welfare spending and healthcare spending. But cutting the military shouldn't even be on the table.
>>51040695
heres what you have to do: enclose your country in a big dome, and nuke yellowstone. be sure to seal all exits
>>51043366
Provocative sells. Zeihan has become a speaking-circuit star, typically charging $15,000 for a keynote speech. Lately, he’s been booked for several each week.
He adapts his conclusions to the industry he’s talking to, but his central takeaway is the same:
“The bottom line is the United States is going to be just fine.”
But will the stock market crash?
“Can I get back to you tomorrow?”
