The simple fact is that the US and most other Western countries have gone deeply into debt to try to sustain an unsustainable economic outcome. The future has been sold for the present and the present won't last very long.
Think of yourselves as debt slaves rather than wage earners and you will start to get the picture.

Stop handing out H1b visas. Stop giving citizenship easily to foreign nationals who graduate from grad school.
Create better partnerships between education and business for CITIZENS. Promote vocational training, insitute a Fachhochschule program like Germany's. If US companies can't find skilled workers, then the company should TRAIN them, like they do in Germany.
Reinstate tariffs on foreign imported goods, renegotiate NAFTA, Refuse to represent US companies in WTO talks who offshore all of their operations and keep profits overseas. Create real incentives to onshore jobs, through tax breaks and assistance for training skilled workers. Shift money to these programs while reducing welfare programs. Get the long term unemployed into the jobs the illegal aliens are doing. No free welfare. You must do SOMETHING to get it. Clean streets, parks, repair schools, work in libraries, work in school run after school programs, so other parents can work and not have to pay some illegal alien to babysit their kids, because school ends at 2:30.
Do you realize that China DEMANDS that any foreign company operating over there is a 51% joint-venture, Chinese owned. China DEMANDS a transfer of technology to the Chinese within 10 yrs--and we allow China MFC status!!

Illegal Aliens - No Legal Immigrants (Aliens) - Yes. One group followed the law, the other group did not. Choosing to serve so you can break the law isn't honorable any more than the guy who serves to avoid jail time… I've served with all the above and there is a distinct difference between the examples.
Foreign bases at FedEx are only allowed because we (FedEx) pay an extremely large amount of money to both those countries and the US to allow us there. There are lots of restrictions on our pilots that are there and even the length of time they can stay. Unlike your attitude of "open boarders", we have to follow the law or we get kicked out.
Oh and before you tell me the Indians were the only natives to the US, can you please explain why they have Eurasia DNA? They are immigrants too…

I agree with a lot of what you're saying in this post, except that you assumed that I vote Dems or Rep. I'm not by not means a supporter of either party.

It's not that simple. The debt was accelerated by international banks who colluded to securitize everything and who defrauded the public through fake ratings of formerly safe securities. For example, heaps of bad loans mixed in with good loans and then having a ratings agency rate them all AAA. Many of those securities were bough by pension funds who believed the rating. In 2008 all those funds were wiped out. Massive, unregulated immigration causing debt overload on social welfare systems, huge spending on wars, much of which is hidden in the "black" budget. Zero percent interest which destroys savings and forces elderly onto welfare programs. Massive outsourcing of jobs, which has destroyed a large segment of middle class, loss of tax revenue from companies hiding profits overseas.
Given the confluence of tax and monetary policy would it be logical to expect any other outcome?

Imagine that you give politicians power over the banks and the banks and the politicians end up in bed together. Who would have thunk it? I have a solution give the politicians more control of the banks.
