AMERICA BANNED FROM THE WORLD.
#1. The United States government is currently running a budget deficit of $1.8 billion/day. Too much deficit will create a weaker American dollar and cripple the US economy.
#2. The US National Debt is $8 trillion+. It has to be paid back eventually by raising taxes.
#3. Oil prices are $100+ per crude barrel, there is a shortage of oil refineries and demand is growing due to more car drivers world wide.
#4. China's economy is now bigger than the United States and China is now the centre of the global economy.
#5. China's trade exports out-matches the United States (ie. they can build cars/trucks/SUVs for half the price).
#6. English is becoming less important as an international business language. Mandarin Chinese is becoming more important.
#7. Global warming is causing drought and shortages of grain crops, causing bread and flour prices to skyrocket.
#8. US universities aren't creating enough graduates to compete on the global market. Tuition is too expensive and there isn't enough university professors.
#9. The babyboomers are retiring, creating a shortage of skilled workers.
#10. The White House is being complacent about the US economy and is ignoring the possibility of a depression.
#11. Automobile companies keep laying off unionized workers and moving their factories to China. The only car company building new plants and hiring workers in North America is Japanese car-maker Toyota (which only hires non-union workers).
#12. The US government sold off the bulk of its oil/gasoline reserves in 2002. It no longer has large stocks of oil reserves in case of a national shortage.
#13. Adult American taxpayers have an average of $48,000 in debt due to credit cards, mortgages, university debts, etc. Now that the economy has gone sour many are losing their houses or declaring bankruptcy.
#14. The US dollar is notoriously easy to make counterfeit bills of. Thanks to modern computer printers, counterfeit is reasonably easy to make.
#15. The US economy still has not recovered from 9/11.
#16. The US economy relies on the consumption of goods at a decadent rate. If something happens that throws the economy for a loop, it can very easily fall into a depression.
#17. Global Warming is causing record hurricanes, storms, floods and ecological disasters are destroying homes & businesses in the United States. In addition to wrecking havoc and raising insurance prices, the storms also prevent oil rigs from drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, causing oil shortages.
#18. The health problems resulting from high obesity and unhealthy diets combined with a shortage of doctors is causing the US healthcare system to become highly capitalized so that only the wealthy and middle class can afford health care.
#19. Rising costs of airplane flights are stifling business trips by companies seeking to do business.
#20. Foreign investors are pulling out of the United States and investing in Asia instead.
#21. Five years of drought and Global Warming has caused many farmers in the American mid-west to declare bankrupty. The US is facing a food shortage if current drought trends continue. People aren't building enough green houses to grow extra food.
FIX'D
#1. Stop running a fiscal deficit. Balance the books as much as possible.
#2. Place trade quotas on Chinese goods in order to prevent "flooding of the market" or place trade tariffs on Chinese/Asian goods in order to raise extra money to pay off the National Debt.
#3. Invest in renewable energy sources. Long-term gain for a short-term investment.
#4. Invest in hydrogen-fuel cell technology in order to bring the cost down so its cheaper than oil/gasoline. Gasoline prices are the biggest problem facing the United States economy. A cheaper alternative is needed. Buying gasoline from overseas is basically draining money from the American economy and shipping it to other countries, making oil-tycoons rich and the American public poor.
#5. Build more greenhouses in urban centres. Green houses provide reliable fresh food to a growing population and reduces our dependency on drought prone farms. If every grocery store built a greenhouse on their rooftop, they could hire a greenhouse technician to grow most of the vegetable food they need and buy less food from distributors.
#6. Make Chinese (for Beginners) mandatory in highschools. It is the new language of business. Americans need to be more competitive in the global economy.
#7. Reduce tuition rates, train more university professors and build more universities. Our students need to be more competitive. Complacency will lead to financial ruin.
#8. Place a cap on credit card companies. Many Americans are in debt because they maxed out their credit cards on frivolous spending of things they don't need.
#9. Increase immigration (especially of skilled workers) to make up for babyboomers who are retiring.
#10. Americans need a president who is fiscally responsible. 8 years of George W. Bush will have seriously crippled the US economy.
