Today, I came up with an idea that will save America. Really! Here it is, after a few premises. The premises are these:

1. We are spending our kids and grand kids future away, we can’t afford it, and Washington, D.C. doesn’t care.
2. Washington D.C.’s agenda’s viability depends on foreign nations lending us money. No loaners, no ridiculous spending.

So what do we do? Do we wait until the next election until we can get some fiscally responsible folks in Washington? It may be too late if socialize medicine and the bail outs continue so that’s a NO! Do we write letters to our congressman? We barely saved ourselves from the McCain-Kennedy immigration bill and 70% of the Americans are against bail outs so my thoughts are that the letter campaign isn’t working. Do we turn off CNN and CNBC and only watch Fox News? I love Hannity, Beck, O’Reilly, and Rush who is not Fox, but it isn’t working, so again the answer is NO! Need you worry, No! Here is the answer:

1. We as American tax payers send the message to every other nation to stop buying our debt. We tell them that Washington is a bunch of spoiled kids and although spoiling a kid, by in the present example, throwing money at them, makes the short term more pleasant, it costs way more in the long term. So stop subsidizing the United States of America’s frivolous ways. Yes, we will be strapped for a while and also in the short term our weakened economy will cut down on imports, but in the long term, we’ll get stronger and be a better long term market place for foreign goods. Come on folks, sometimes a kid needs tough love. In the end the kid gets better, performs, becomes self reliant. Think about it, if United States can’t sell its debt, we’ve got to reel things in which means two options: One, we cut spending. Two, we raise taxes. Both defeat the current American agenda. This goes for the Wall Street boys as well, stop buying our debt. If the debt is no longer able to be sold, then the government will have to cease its current path. Period. No pay, no play. It will shackle the wasteful spending and force us to do the right things, make the right choices, be responsible for ourselves. It will be beautiful.

2. The Chinese buy the majority of our debt. They already are on to the fact that we can’t last under the current path. So we send the message to them that if they don’t buy our debt, we can’t become them, and they will save the market they so much depend on. It is in their interest to stop buying our debt. In ours too.

3. If the Chinese won’t stop buying it, we stop buying Chinese products. We force them to be responsible in their spoilation of the American Child’s, ostensibly manifested in Washington, D.C., ways. They’ll listen. It is in their interest.

4. We start an effort to have American companies that make things in America label themselves as “A Free Market Company.” This will be a metaphor for made in America without government subsidies and against the current Washington D.C. trend. This will help the economy and will not be clouded in the “buy America” label. We’ll buy America, but only if the corporation is a “A free Market Company” which means it is against the current trend of Washington D.C. The point is this; Stop buying goods from foreign companies from foreign nations that are subsidizing our failure. Feel free to buy goods from foreign nations that are not buying our debt. See, still free trade. Just not free trade with the enablers.

It’s as simple as that.
1. Convince Foreign nations to not endulge our government’s childish ways.
2. Convince Foreign nations that it is in their long term interest to not endorse our government’s ways.
3. We punish the foreign nations if they don’t take heed.
4. We reward American companies that do.

Simple as that folks. No military overthrow. No change via election. Just common sense communicated to the enabling foreign nations that if they don’t take the advice of the American’s, the ones who ultimately can’t pay them back, they’ll ruin their export market for good, they’ll ruin the world.

Think about. Washington D.C. without the money to be spoiled and wasteful. We will bankrupt the Washington Child just like the Washington Child did to G.M., Chrysler, and in the near future Citi-Group. If they cut spending, great. If they raise taxes, they’re out. We the citizens win by encouraging the metaphorical spoiling short term thinking parents (foreign investors in our debt) that sometimes kids need tough love and right now, our Washington D.C. kids need some real tough loving. We all need it bad.

Please, let’s start a movement and get this done. Ultimately, we have control because we’re paying for the Washington Child. So let’s send the message to our subsidizers; thank you for buying our debt and making the Washington Child happy but realize we’re not paying you back, so do yourself a favor, stop loaning us money. And do us a favor, help us grow up.

That’s my Reetzality for the day.

Send this to your friends. It’s our only non-violent hope. And before I resort to Violence, I’m moving to Patagonia. There’s great fishing and great skiing and it looks a lot like Alaska.
