In 1960, the US Congress began to assign its legislative responsibilities to the deep state in federal agencies and the courts to remove voter control. In the 1970s US industries began off-shoring manufacturing. In 1992, the US President signed on to UN Agenda 21 for global governance. In 2016 US voters rejected UN globalism scams and elected Trump to restore the US economy. The US needs to impose tariffs to restore its manufacturing jobs and restore government compliance with the US Constitution.

Low interest rates at 3% has encouraged excessive borrowing that needs to be paid down to reduce interest costs.

US government debt is $22 trillion (105% of GDP) with $124 trillion in unfunded liabilities. US Corporate debt is $15 trillion. US Household debt is $13.6 trillion.  These debt levels need to be cut in half.
