Ever since the Great Recession, there has been struggle in America.

The Federal Reserve instituted policies that made life harder for most of us.

Many people have struggled even to maintain some sort of sanity in their life because of successive job losses during hostile takeovers. Others have struggled on the job front as some businesses closed their doors. Some have struggled to survive and thrive after the Covid Caper, facing challenges from an experimental vaccine requirement either as a recipient with side effects, a griever at the loss of a friend or a family member or a person fired for refusing the covid shot.

As real estate prices have soared, often up 33% from one year to the next, many have struggled to pay their property taxes or have lost their home. Grocery prices have inflated to the point that people have had to resort to skipped meals or the use of money-saver recipes, a strategy that will only temporarily lower the cost of food preparation in inflationary times.

Why call on All Hands to struggle more? Why? Because that’s how life will get better.

Return to sanity…Things to avoid doing: I hope for these things…

No more woke strategies in public schools. No more transgender education in schools. Reduced administrator salaries in schools to bring them in line with teacher salaries. Fewer administrators.

No more deregulated banking without Glass Steagall and with Holding Companies as a trap door to escape fiduciary duty. No more Too Big to Fail Banking (reduce the size of large banks). No more derivatives trading.

No more deregulated communications where Fake News is normal. If a falsehood is published, a retraction and a potential fine. No more censorship or propaganda.

No more regulatory mayhem in transportation with regulations requiring a new kind of car that costs more than people can afford. No more inflating car insurance costs.

No more regulatory quibbling about using natural gas energy to heat homes or cook with.

No more monopoly influence in the U.S. medical, pharmacy, education, banking.

No more woke military.

No more climate change dogma.

No more bribes in Congress to help foreign nations to get the deals that undermine American interests.

No more digital currencies that threaten cash as legal tender.

End unfunded mandates of all kinds. That would get rid of a lot of legislation that requires people to do things that they can’t really afford to do.

No more interventionist Congressional policies to pick economic winners and losers.

End and repeal all previous legislation that exceeds 100 pages. Future legislation will never exceed 20 pages. No more Think Tank legislation. Congress has to write the legislation and each Congress person who sponsors legislation has to justify it based on their constituency.

No more off-shoring tax advantages that lead corporations to invest in foreign rather than domestic labor, causing unemployment at home.

No more federal subsidy for Universities. Allow students to use a new low cost online training system that allows a person to prove competency by passing a basic test that proves mastery. No more tuition. Universities have failed America.

Instead we need so many things that require an All Hands effort:

We need new businesses. There should be a tax moratorium on new businesses with stepped gradual taxation of new businesses after 5 years. This allows new business to form because of new tax free advantages for small business.

Also, new businesses need an end to all regulatory renovation requirements for newly purchased or leased business buildings for the first 5 years of operation. Leaving in place only basic safety requirements, new businesses should not be required to meet a city’s latest huge expense requirement for new plumbing and wiring and many other details that really is all about graft.

Homes should cost what people can afford and therefore, there should be an end of monopoly price interference in real estate; investor ownership of American homes should end.

The wheels of government can do more good if We the People can draft and pass a a new Constitutional Amendment to further limit Congressional power with term limits.

We need less warfare and in that interest I suggest that we should reduce the budget of the Pentagon and DOD and require a yearly audit with no new funds until the audit is completed. We should close foreign military bases. We should bring our soldiers, sailors and airmen home.

We the People need to draft and institute a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution. Congress should forego any salary payment until a balanced budget is submitted for the coming year.

We the People should put an end to all previous emergency powers. Emergency powers just call for disaster capitalism. Future emergencies without special powers will never last more than one year: no matter what the circumstances, emergencies must end.

People who commit crimes against government while holding government office must be kicked out of office and brought to justice. Their monies if obtained through crime should be seized and doled out to their victims.

We should end vaccine requirements. Vaccines have proven harmful. A new study of vaccines may be in order since the CDC just admitted that vaccines haven’t been properly studied but the CDC shouldn’t do it. Instead of mandating vaccines, we should make sure that they are available if they are safe but there should be no more vaccine requirements.

We the People should end electronic voting. We should also end mail-in voting since it has led to voting fraud. We should make sure voting reflects the public’s votes.

Americans need better than what we have. Neoliberalism has led to an overgrowth of malignant organizational politics and that has harmed individuals. We the people are not grist for the neoliberal mill. We have a dysfunctional unaccountable government. We have banking that’s been subsidized for failures. We have untrustworthy media and censorship. We have overregulation and a broken justice system.

We would all like to see a healthier America that’s prosperous and sensible. Reining in the worst abuses caused by deregulation in the areas of finance, energy, communications and transportation would be a start. That deregulation happened in the 1980’s and 1990’s and it was followed by reregulation in favor of corporate interests. Changing that set of policies would go a long way to improve American prosperity. Stop hurting the little guy and allow willing hands to improve our nation’s economic performance by reregulating towards balanced economic protections that also prevent largescale malinvestments.
