I immediately thought it didn't sound like Bill Cosby. And while some of the bullet point are fun, it just ain't practical in the real world.

And we have no official language as a country, even if most Americans think we do, so even the first one is incorrect.

As for no imports - Wal*Mart's shelves would be pretty durned empty! Just sayin' ...

As long as I can get some Jello pudding, I am happy!

No imports, no exports?

Well, you could pretty much rule out most of our technology based society. Things break, and after two years we be pretty short of replacement parts for some items. (High tech factories take YEARS to get going) Not only that, we're goign to be pretty short of raw materials for some items, notably titanium, molybdenum, tantalum, and other metals we're not able to feasibly produce in this country.

If we cut all foreign aid and used the money to pay off the debt? We'd still have a looooooooooong way to go. Our foreign aid budget is a miniscule part of federal spending.

#5 would require a complete restructuring of the Constitution, as SS is part of the federal budget, and the federal budget is under the control of congress. Good luck getting an amendment passed on that one.

"Sorry, this was not written by Bill Cosby."

I thought this wasn't the educated man I think Bill Cosby to be.

I don't care who wrote it, I like it and it makes a lot of sense.
