The USA in Transition

 

The United States of America is the greatest country in the world and has been since 1945.  The USA has had global dominance for 80 years, just two decades shy of a century.

That's quite an accomplishment for a country that is about only 250 years old.

HOWEVER...  the elite status of the USA is about to change and is already in the process of that transition.

First Transition - our freedoms have put us into a position where the people are demanding more and more of the government.  The more the government provides to the public, the more socialistic the government becomes.  Our current national debt is an example of how we have already given too much, and it is going to be very difficult for our government to STOP THE GIVING.

Second Transition - during the last four years, our government has allowed illegal immigrants to enter this country in unprecedented numbers.  It does not matter what the purpose is behind this decision, but what does matter is that these illegal immigrants bring NO SKILLS therefore all they will serve to do is INCREASE the POOR CLASS.  Increasing the poor class will not strengthen the USA, it will weaken it because the poor class TAKES more than it GIVES.

Third Transition - the USA has an infrastructure problem in that its roads, highways, bridges, and tunnels NEED REFURBISHING because they are getting old and will start to have ongoing repair issues.  Not only is our infrastructure need refurbishing but our military needs this as well.  Does the government spend money on social programs, social security, infrastructure, or the military?

Fourth Transition - the USA, for a variety of reasons, has become divided.  While we have two political parties in this country, the political party that is not in power REFUSES to support the political party that is in power.  To make matter worse, that division is an amazing 50%.  Now, it might be 49%/51% so that one side wins, but that is the same as 50/50.  NOTHING WILL EVER GET DONE, especially if a house of Congress is controlled by the other party.

Fifth Transition - this one is twofold and perhaps the most dangerous as it is in the first stages of development.  I am talking about TECHNOLOGY and our SPACE PROGRAM.  Fortunately, and unfortunately, these two programs will not be controlled by the government due to LACK OF MONEY.  Technology is developing faster than it can be controlled or regulated by Congress and AI Humanoid Robots will replace jobs quicker than we can mentally imagine and when that happens it will be too late to act.  When we begin to serious develop outer space (around 2030), private companies will no longer see the need to SAVE EARTH from all that plagues it.

Sixth Transition - this one revolves around climate change and what some have convinced others is our most serious threat.  It will take a GOOD DECADE to fully transition into a 100% global green energy environment, if that is even possible.  IF depends quite honestly on the rest of the world's participation.  China, Russia, India, Africa, the Middle East, Central and South America, DON'T HAVE THE MONEY to make that transition.  China, Russia, India refuses to spend the money because it will weaken their economies.  The more the USA moves into that direction, the more the POOR PEOPLE will resist because they do not have the money.  Illegal Immigration makes the problem worse.

Seventh Transition - China has declared to the rest of the world that they want to take the global leadership role away from the USA.  They want to do this both economically and militarily and educationally and scientifically which includes technology.  The USA does not see CHINA as a THREAT.

The Democratic Party sees POWER and CONTROL over the citizens of the USA more important than protecting the USA from CHINA...

This position is a dangerous one to have...
