Personally, I think we should indeed pull our military back to within our borders. No bases in any other country. No intervention anywhere outside our borders. Everyone else is on their own. We implement free trade with any other country and allow them the ability to run their country as they see fit.
Sound good?
Bump, I needed to check something.

If she has experienced the freedom the country has offered before she goes. If not, she is probably scared of that freedom and stays in the hypothetically successful socialistic country.
Didn't see this till today.
That's an interesting comment as it assumes 'freedom' as you see it exists as a primary value. My assumption, or rather position is, she is a conservative in the sense in which many Americans today see conservatism - a kind of libertarian place where 'freedom' means you are on your own. That is a complicated position on a number of levels but we'll leave it there.
FN By calling it 'socialistic' you evoke the mental stick that somehow this is bad. That is a 'did you stop beating your wife question'. Only works if .... I leave why out.
I think she stays.

Millions living in poverty. A very bad educational system for the poor. The wealth gap is higher than the Gilded Age and getting worse and worse. More shootings than any other country by far. No healthcare for millions. We turned higher education into a for-profit business dooming young people to educational mortgages that can haunt their entire lives.
There is plenty wrong in America, a country that has the greatest percentage of its citizens in prison. Of course, that is for profit too.
