Are Americans Out Of Options?

We are out of options if we reduce our outlook to the piddling goals of our politicians. They all act and speak as though we must limit our hope for a better future to America and the American economy. They do not tell us (some of them don’t know) that there is no separate American economy. America is one part of a worldwide economy. Washington is go-go for the economy outside of America. We in America are falling behind other economies. We could instead be richer and more developed at home than the rest of the world if Washington could somehow scale down its go-go influence militarily and financially in foreign states. But it will not do this because it would cause an economic catastrophe in the global economy. We Americans can expand our economic opportunities only by expanding America itself by admitting new states to our union. Over a period of 170 years we admitted 37 new states. Every new state admitted gave every American new economic opportunities. Why should our children be limited to 50 states? Why not admit 20 or 30 states? The European union of states admits new states regularly. Why can’t we do the same just as we have actually been doing for 170 years? Any new states admitted would not upset Washington’s go-go influence developing foreign economies. It would make its efforts to make states secure for foreign investment easier and lasting. If you want a better future for yourself and your children, write your congressman and remind him/her that Article IV Section 3 or our Constitution gives Congress the right to admit new states. Let’s make America itself bigger. Let’s make it huge. Let’s make it worldwide. Let’s make the united states of America the united states of the world.
