Lets say that that within a certain time period, the U.S slammed tariffs on all foreign goods, legalized all drugs, somehow managed to curb local politics and pork barrel spending, legalized all drugs and experienced a boom due to the aforementioned, banned privatized prisons and curbed union power.
Lets say we hypothetically somehow have some sort of functional operating moon base, and we managed to discover trillions of gold deposits, Helium reserves, natural gases, ore, water, oil, rare-earth minerals and managed to bring it back to Earth overriding the economic cost of actually sending a shuttle between the two locations, monopolized every mining location on the moon and space travel/technology. We somehow in the coming decade set a national government infrastructure recovery program and switched from a fossil fuel economy to one based on algae based/green energy fuels; we payed off most of our costs and debt through oil money we got from bombing other countries. We somehow managed to make new technology giving superior fast internet speed to every location in the U.S alone. We destroy every bland suburb in existence, redesign them into intricately designed towns, where instead of people living separately, people communicate and walk* on a regular basis. We cut our obesity rates by half and remove all the power feminists and females have in this country in the legal system. We rebuild our highway and road system, what happens then? Will China then surpass us as will other countries?
