Free Market Bailout Plan

A quick idea to solve a $trillion problem with the nonchalant ease of wiping CFR milk off the upper lip.

For the citizens of any country which will reciprocate with same policy, open the border to visa free travel and immigration to freely do business and reside in U.S.A. equal in every way to citizens.

Foreigners can already freely buy land and do business in U.S.A., but most countries do not reciprocate those policies to Americans. So let's turn up the incentive knob and make it irresistable to the people of the world.

We need renewed real estate demand, so...go where the demand is...and let our young people go off and travel the world using their expertise to make the world a better place...

I predict a massive boom, on a scale not seen in history of mankind, in investment, real estate, trade, manufacturing, cultural exchange, knowledge, and goodwill. Also instantly put the communist monopoly government in China out-of-business via competitive revolt from their own people who would love to go freely to travel, invest, and reside in U.S.A.. Believe it or not, since I live in Asia, many Asians still admire the U.S.A. for what they see on TV and our freedoms. For example, it is my understanding that in China one can only have 1 child and can not freely relocate within the country. I hear in Belgium one can not transfer jobs, nor have any animal, without a government permit. Europeans pay a roughly 22% VAT when they trade "Froot Loops" money (euros) for real money (silver).

I would propose only one stipulation-- that voting and citizenship would be reserved for those who demonstrate mastery and daily use of our national language. Feel free to come to our country and not adapt to the local language, just as we may in your country, but adapt if you want to maximize your experience. The benefit I see over the current domination of immigration by Spanish speakers, is English will return as the dominant common thread of a much more diverse mix of immigrants.

I would not suggest restricting any culture, religion, or creed, because in every society you have good and evil people, so who among us is good enough to decide who is excluded? Perfectionists build their own perfect hell.I have often found that some of the most loving people come from some of the most stereotyped locales. Which of us would want to be refused access to a better opportunity in 10 years, because we were born in what became an oppressive United Socialist States of America? Did you know U.S.A. has the highest rate of "criminals" (1 in 37 adult males) of any country? So why should we assume for example that every Iranian or every Syrian is evil? Let them all come, let us all go. Let men, women, and children be free. We have nothing to fear but fear itself.

The U.S.A. has the chance to lead the paradigm and by the peaceful force of the free market, pre-empt any emerging centrally managed, socialist global paradigm (i.e. world government). It is time to pre-empt the "know-it-alls" at Rockefeller's CFR.org, and simply overrun them with a paradigm that will sweep the world away from their pompous, irrelevant, academic flagellation.

This country was built on immigration. We have way more land (and McMansions) than we can ever utilize (due to our distorted asset and demographics bubble). If you disagree, I understand. I am only offering it if you feel comfortable. I am an extreme Libertarian, about on par with the Dalai Lama according to politicalcompass.org. I love people. I believe we should all be free under God (your God or my God). Please try not to hold it against me.

(1) See http://ShadowStats.com. It is a self-evident fact that changing the weightings for the basket of goods in CPI changed the result percent. It is an "Enron-like" accounting gimick. From mid-1980s to early 2000s, some things (e.g. gas, Asian manufactured goods) were declining or fairly flat in price, while others things (e.g. healthcare, housing, education) were rising at 10+%. By re-weighting and using other statistical tricks (e.g. hedonics), the official CPI was reported several percent lower than the actual basket of goods that matter most to people. For example, if 80% of one's economic net worth is tied into the price of their house, and housing prices were rising nearly 10%, then the individual sees the CPI at 3% (and thus interest rate at 5% cost) lower than his gain.
