What is lacking is a sense of common purpose, of unity as Americans.
Deliberately divisive diversity is a disaster. It prevents us from unifying to demand a government which eliminates the debt.
This is why "diversity" is a religion relentlessly pushed on us from above. It protects power from being taken back by the people.

How can we re-achieve unity?
- Seriously secure the border and immediately deport all those who came in illegally.
- Actively oppose all praise for "diversity" and replace it with calls for unity as Americans and the Melting Pot.
- Declare English to be the sole national language, and eliminate all government documents and services in foreign languages.
- Make everyone coming into the country stand in the exact same lines in the airports, explicitly prohibiting private planes from getting special treatment. Same for all government services. The very wealthy must be obligated to use exactly the same government services as the poorest with no exceptions whatsoever, not even for the president. Then quality will surge, along with faith in our system.
- A year of obligatory national service at the age of 18, mixing young citizens in a provably random selection in camps which help build and repair national infrastructure.
The psychology of service is very important. Once people have put a year of work into literally building and repairing America, they will feel a greater sense of ownership in it. And meeting a large random selection of your fellow citizens and that age will cross-link all the strata of society.

Nor are these other potential revenue streams being considered:
