Sense of something wrong

[permabear]

Defense spending needs to be cut drastically – at least back to Clinton levels. It is insane right now, and is the single item bankrupting the U.S. – not SS or Medicare or anything else. The 2009 U.S. military budget accounted for approximately 40% of global arms spending. That’s over SIX TIMES larger than the military budget of China.

Seriously, just look at this:

[quote=sreeb] Demographics are stacked against us as the baby boomers start to retire. [/quote]

Immigration is a great way to grow the population and the economy. Assuming we freeze spending growth, large scale immigration can provide the economic kick necessary to pay down the debt.

We could also start selling US citizenship for $1 million each. Not that rich people would want to live here, but a US passport is a good travel document and a good insurance policy againsts unrest around the world.

My bet is that baby boomers will find themselves cared for by imported immigrant nurses and health care workers. Imagine the anti-immigrant folks of today being spoon fed by new immigrants.

I’m not trying to minimize our problems but I have had the sense that something is seriously wrong since about 1988. My dad also felt something was really wrong … There is something wrong. It’s just well, this whole fraudulent mess will probably outlive me

Excellent suggestions by Arraya. Brian, how about make it 2 million instead of 1 million and with restrictions on health issues so we do not end up caring for people with serious health conditions that can add up fast?
