I said there is no easy fix………but you could try these:
1. Promote industries that produce items we really need like food, clothing, building materials and improvements to our infrastructure such as water, sewer, electricity, roads and railroads, especially if we now import those products.
2. Secure the dollar by eliminating credit – financial transactions need to be made in cold cash, coinage is best even if the metals used are steel, zinc, nickel or copper.
3. Provide incentives for renewable energy sources, especially solar, home grown fuels, and our garbage.
4. Establish neighborhood/community schools in churches, homes, community centers, etc., run by their owners (parents) by completely closing ALL public schools for a couple years.
5. Insure non-interference by government in business, agricultural and financial free enterprises by eliminating as many central regulatory agencies as possible, without compromising the safety aspects of those regulations as applied to the workers and the consumers.
Sorry, I said it wouldn’t be easy. It should be no surprise that the words chosen to begin each of these recommendations were also the ones used by James Madison when penning the Preamble to the Constitution. It would take some super leaders to actually have the intelligence and the courage to take such drastic steps. I guess we can hope.

The ten main problems with society
The ten main problems with society
(ignorance/greed and their manifestations)
1. We are a nation of consumers instead of producers.
2. A fiscally irresponsible federal government which has our country 9.4 trillion dollars in debt.
3. Control of the economy (like the stock and commodities markets and credit) by the Federal Reserve and other banking type industries.
4. A valueless dollar, not because it cannot buy as much as it used to, but because it is not backed by anything of real value. (ex.-gold standard)
5. Our dependence on oil and the way our economy is driven by oil.
6. Acceptance as a right to entitlements, even if you don’t work for them.
7. Belief that the government is the savior of the people.
8. Our litigious society and the unwillingness to accept responsibility for our own actions.
9. A state enforced school system that purports the above values, fueled by a system of higher education that supports that indoctrination.
10. Failure of churches and families to instill the proper values.
There is no easy fix
Collapse and start over would be the easiest, and probably inevitable.
Maybe next installment I’ll suggest some ways we could try to fix them.
