Divisiveness is the new norm. Why is Washington so grid locked? Why is the American nation so divided? The answer comes from fundamental question. How do we fix our trouble economic atmosphere? One side poses depression era policies of government policies. The other proposition is that we cut expenditures and move toward austerity. The latter carries with it inherit deficits. To cut means less jobs. A problem that we are trying to avoid. The former means increased national debt. This is also unacceptable. How can we bridge the gap? A compromise seems unlikely but with it comes the prospect of forward momentum. So what is the solution? First off we need to return those jobs lost in the public sector. Firemen, police, teachers, and infrastructure repair. This is not a stimulus but a repair of a quickly deteriorating system. So where do we make the cuts? The US government spends more on defense then the entire world combined. With a minimal cut in foreign intanglements and billion dollars secret projects we can begin to cut the deficit. However, the side that wants the cuts refuses to acknowledge this point. It sees such actions as limiting American hegemony worldwide. This is a shortsighted view. America's greatest strength is not our military. The military is largely hated around the world. What people love is our culture and products. Nike, McDonald's, apple, music, and movies. The key to success is brand awareness. An America has a great brand. One in which, if we support can will easily win our battles for us.
