Time for another superman

"What do we need in a new superman? Must have money and must know how to do math. Must have a good industrial base, so it can make enough weapons to supply the free world. And most importantly? Must not have any socialists nor democrats in the mix. That is all. Good luck finding our new man of steel."  

During World War 1 (The Great War), the United States was very helpful in defeating the Germans. In World War II, the United States was a key player in defeating the Germans and the Japanese. The United States defeated the Soviet Union during the Cold War, without firing a shot. Basically, ever since the end of World War II, the United States has been THE superpower in the world. Not only the superpower, but the superman, who protected all from the forces of evil.

Well, guess what? This old superman is tired and worn out. To make matters worse, he is broke. Not only broke, but $34T in debt. Why? Part of this superman is made up of people who can't do math. For example, last year this superman took in over $4T in revenue. But then spent over $6T. Huh? How does that work? Now countries like Israel and Ukraine are asking for billions more to fight their wars. Are we the only free country in the world who can help out? Nope. There are plenty more. But somehow it always seems to come back to this old worn-out superman. 

Who would be my vote for the next superman? Japan, Germany, and Poland would be a good start. Great Britian, France and Canada are of very limited help (especially Canada). Is it good all countries from NATO kick some bucks into the kitty? Sure, but to stay safe, the alliance needs more money and arms. Donald Trump had the right idea. All countries need to kick in money and arms which are meaningful. To make NATO strong again. Our days of carrying everyone's water are over.

Yesterday, our Commander-in-Chief was awoken from his nap to meet with Congressional leaders. Seems we are running out of money (again). Because of that, and the fact our leaders take so many vacations, the budget for this fiscal year (which started last October) is not yet settled. And - money which is not in the budget (close to $100B) is needed to re-arm Israel, Ukraine, the Red Sea protection, and Taiwan. If we don't come to resolution, the government will shut down (again), everyone will be blamed, and the bad guys will continue to advance.

What do we need in a new superman? Must have money and must know how to do math. Must have a good industrial base, so it can make enough weapons to supply the free world. And most importantly? Must not have any socialists nor democrats in the mix. That is all. Good luck finding our new man of steel.
