So of course Trump must invade it and topple the government. Are we winning yet?

The way the federal government was designed to work was the congressmen were supposed to be running the show. The Speaker of the House was supposed to be focused on domestic issues. He was supposed to be more important than the president except in times of war.

The fact that this isn't how it works shows how horribly our system is broken.

The federal government should be two guys and a filing cabinet filled with pre-generated insults to all the foreign nations of the earth. The president should call up another country and yell at them for a good solid hour. If they get angry, then he tells congress he wants a war and that's about all it should do.

We should have 1 representative per 30,000 people. I'd rather do something like this: 10 guys elect 1 representative. 10 of those representatives get together once a year and elect 1 delegate. Do that again and again, each time taking 10 guys at a level and sending a delegate up the chain. With 100,000,000 adult men in the US, we should have about 8 levels before you get to the very top.

States should be self-sufficient. If they rely on federal funds or federal troops to keep operating, they should be demoted to territory status. This isn't a joke. States should have their own independent armies and such. Failed states should be broken up and rebuilt from scratch. Congress can issue a declaration that such-and-such a state has failed and needs to restart from scratch and re-apply to join the union.

If a state gets too big, more than, say, 10 million people, it should be broken up. States should probably be closer to 1 million people. If 1 million people can't become totally self-sufficient, they shouldn't be considered people anymore. They're dependents, probably only worthy for slavery at best.

We should split this country into "two americas". If you want to join America B, then you sign away all your rights as well as all future profits you might ever make. The bonus is you get the "social safety net" and all the wonderful features little budding communists like to have -- free health care, free education, etc... The catch is you don't get a dime from "America A". America A are Americans who don't want anything from government and simply want to be left alone. In exchange, they'll retain all of their freedoms and owe nothing to the government. If they ever need the government to do something, say police work or whatnot, then they can sell themselves into America B.

If America A people need workers, they can contract with America B to hire workers from their population. They don't have to, but it's an option.

If you want to leave America B and join America A, then you need to come up with a certain amount of money to buy your freedom.

We can also divide America into "White America" and "Non-White America" or whatever, if that makes more sense. Non-whites won't be allowed in White America, while whites won't be allowed in non-white America. We can just assign Puerto Rico and whatever other territories we own as "Non-White America", or we can just colonize Africa or whatever. Maybe reclaim South Africa or something.
