As we know, we are $20 trillion in debt, and that debt will only climb higher. Our systematic deficit spending has dropped our credit rating, and monetizing the debt has ruined our currency.
The past and present Administrations believe there is no way we can get ourselves out of this financial mess without taxing our citizens and companies into the ground, damaging our economy even further. There is another way, one that will preserve our position as the world's first and only hyperpower, stimulate the economy in a profound way, and remove the threat of the Middle East to global security.
We must wage war on OPEC.
Why has nobody ever thought of this before? Our military IS NOT a global police force, despite what our recent Administrations have believed. It is an armed force to protect our liberty and interests, and to project our power throughout the globe.
If the operation is successful, we get at least $100 trillion in income from selling the captured oil. This can easily pay off our national debt, and the remainder can be distributed tax-free to the citizens.
Every individual would get around $270,000, which would help out a lot of families escape poverty, pay for a college education, start a business, etc.
We could first issue letters of marque and reprisal to our Navy, and take oil tankers sailing from OPEC countries as prizes. This will a) increase morale of our Sailors, as they stand to personally benefit from successful completion of their mission, b) boost our economy as the Sailors will spend their prize money when they return home, and c) weaken OPEC's economy.
Once OPEC's economy has been sufficiently weakened, we can blockade their ports, blitzkrieg them using our Marines, and send in the Army to occupy their oil fields while our oil companies take over extraction.
We have the largest and most capable armed forces in the world. We can do this easily. The few billion dollars spent on this operation will easily pay for itself more than a thousand times over.
We can count on Israel to assist us in the Middle Eastern theater, as with Iran firmly under US control, Palestinian terrorists will have no more support. Then proper peacemaking efforts between them can take place.
We must stop acting like Neville Chamberlain, and start acting like Julius Caesar.
