The solution is fivefold. First, remove diversity and affirmative action programs completely and outlaw their practices, simultaneously destroying anyone committing unlawful discrimination (not wanting to hire a transvestite at a bible store does NOT count as discrimination in my book, but refusing to hire a black man for a management job when he is the most qualified applicant IS, just like hiring a black man over a white man when the white man is the most qualified applicant IS). Ironically, this is what many of the true equality proponents of the 60s such as Martin Luther King wanted.

Secondly, up the stakes for welfare/assistance programs: if you can work, you have a maximum of six month's worth of welfare for every seven years MAXIMUM. If you are disabled beyond being able to work or if you have a disease that prevents work, that is different. If you have a sore leg, you can get a job behind a desk rather than collecting unemployment. Being stupid is NOT a disability, neither. Along with this, if you are a woman on welfare YOU WILL BE TEMPORARILY STERILIZED BY IMPLANT. If you can't afford to have a kid (or the kids you already have) you have no business having any more until you dig out of your hole ... and prevents kids turning into paychecks for drunks.

Third, close the borders to illegals by using military patrols. If you are caught here illegally, your information is recorded in a database and you are immediately deported NO EXCEPTIONS. If you are caught here illegally a second time, you will be imprisoned for the rest of your life at a work camp. This will provide jobs, reduce crime, reduce the welfare load, reduce taxes, and increase internal commerce. While you are at that work camp you will be doing manufacturing of the low pay varieties for NO PAY. There will be no forgiveness and NO EXCEPTIONS. This will open up more jobs for the unemployed and further reduce the welfare load.

Fourth, if this causes certain products such as food to be more expensive than imported products, impose tariffs at the border to discourage importation of competitive products. This will lower the trade deficit, increase the wages of US citizens since the products can be sold at a decent rate, stem the flow of jobs offshore since it would be economically feasable to stay in the US, and further revitalize our economy.

Fifth, stop being the charity provider for the world. Lower the taxes of US citizens, cut off foreign aid, and focus on helping those in the US that genuinely need it. Invest in our infrastructure to keep our economy robust. It's time the US stopped carrying the weight of the rest of the world on their shoulders, especially since most of them made it clear that they didn't want our help anyway.

I don't think any of those things are unfair, but unfortunately our politicians are a bunch of spineless pussies that are afraid to actually fix our situation. It is sad when someone such as myself can come up with a perfect solution. Fsck political correctness, anyway.
