# How to Make America Great Again – The Future of Freedom Foundation

**Source:** https://www.fff.org/explore-freedom/article/how-to-make-america-great-again/

## Summary

• **Main thesis**: Neither Trump nor any president can make America great again while maintaining current statist systems; only dismantling these systems will restore greatness

• **National-security state problems**: America transformed from a limited-government republic to a national-security state in the 1940s, creating a fourth branch of government (Pentagon, CIA, NSA) with unconstitutional powers including assassination, torture, indefinite detention, and mass surveillance of both foreigners and Americans

• **Welfare state issues**: Adopted in the 1930s, the welfare system uses government force to redistribute wealth, creating dependency, destroying voluntary charity, and turning society into warring factions; Medicare and Medicaid destroyed the once-excellent healthcare system

• **Drug war consequences**: The perpetual drug war has destroyed liberty and privacy while creating cartels and violence; it will never be "won" and serves as permanent government control over citizens

• **Monetary system corruption**: The constitutional gold/silver standard was illegally replaced with paper money and the Federal Reserve in 1913-1930s, enabling government theft through inflation and creating endless economic booms and busts

• **Immigration control failures**: Socialist central planning of immigration creates perpetual crisis, death, and an expanding police state with warrantless searches, deportations, and attacks on fundamental rights

• **Public school indoctrination**: Government schools represent pure socialism through central planning, forced funding via taxation, and compulsory attendance; they indoctrinate children to accept statist systems

• **Solutions proposed**: Dismantle the national-security state, repeal the welfare state and income tax, legalize all drugs,
