Why can't we ...

Why can't we simply use our democracy (republic-based) to sort out the issues that an open market (there is no such thing as a free market) leaves unresolved because the price of goods and services does not pay for all the costs accrued in producing and using those goods and services ... like if we are going to have computers then somehow we have to pay for the education of the people who design and build them. And like how we divide the wealth produced by the mix of our labor, our creativity, and our assets combined with the forward pull of our dreams--selfish and humanitarian ... this incredible, diverse, creative mix of dreamers we call ourselves: The United States of America.

Without secure borders we will piss it all away and become another banana republic.
