Poor Foreign and Domestic Policy Choices Since End of Reagan Era

President Ronald Reagan was an optimist with faith in God. Though his policies wouldn't fit contemporary America his attitude would. Faith and optimism is better that the sardonic greed prevalent in the U.S.A. today.

American political leadership has made a succession of poor foreign and domestic policy choices since the end of the Reagan administration. Two and a half decades of maladroit political leadership has had a substantially deleterious effect upon the status of the United States. The 17 trillion dollar public debt is just one of numerous problems resulting from the failing of Presidential and Congressional leadership. Sadly almost nothing can be done to fix it. There isn't a snowball's chance in hell that competent Presidential leadership will arise yet its worth considering a few of the problems anyway.

The obvious choice to prosecute numerous foreign wars against 2^nd world nations for the benefit of corporate contractors instead of finding alternative solutions to serious security issues has brought trillions of dollars of debt and medical obligations. There are far more terrorists in the middle east and North Africa now than before any of the wars or support for rebellions. Afghanistan has been given the best military and intelligence training in the world and after the U.S. forces leave that education probably will be used by terrorists. The U.S. training was immeasurably better than Bin Ladin's Al Qaeda school. Afghanistan may not be as peaceful as Pakistan in the future. The Taliban doesn't need to rule Afghanistan order to receive support for jihad activity.

The continued U.S. reliance on fossil fuels has brought a leadership failure in world environment and technological renewal infrastructure and development of new ways to live on the planet for second and third worlders. Public education has mass produced unrealistic training and job expectations for a generation of Americans without good job prospects as Americans have been political degraded to the same level as the second world employed by global corporations. U.S. politicians of both parties are loyal to globalism rather than Americanism. The broadcast media is owned by global corporations and feed the nation circumstantially retarded programming in support of bad policy.

The corruption of Wall Street, banking and e-trading along wit networking developed some of the worst concentrated wealth and reduction of real free trade in U.S. history. The nation has moved toward an inertial age of fracture that is difficult to change. The health of the national and global ecosphere decline, independence from global networking and vast bureaucracies public and private is difficult etc. Just a few comments here, it would take to much time to go into detail or even list the failure of America to use good sense in foreign and domestic politics and adapt through design to ecologically renewable low-entropy yet high quality economics with actual democracy.
