America’s Economic Cracks Are Becoming Fractures

While Washington politicians distract the public with endless culture wars, the real problem is America’s economic decline.

Here’s what they don’t want you to focus on:

• The National Debt is Spiraling Out of Control

  • The U.S. debt just surpassed $34 trillion and is growing faster than ever.
  • The government keeps printing money to stay afloat, making inflation permanent.
  • The more debt America racks up, the weaker the dollar becomes.

• The U.S. Dollar’s Global Influence is Shrinking

  • In the past, the dollar was the default currency for global trade.
  • Now, more countries are moving away from the dollar, reducing its dominance.
  • If the world no longer needs dollars, America’s ability to print unlimited money ends.

• The Middle Class is Collapsing

  • Wages haven’t kept up with inflation.
  • Homeownership is becoming a luxury, not a right.
  • The gap between the rich and poor is reaching third-world levels.

• America’s Manufacturing Base is Gone

  • While China and BRICS nations build their economies, the U.S. is more dependent on imports than ever.
  • If China cut off its exports, the U.S. economy would collapse overnight.

For decades, the illusion of American prosperity was maintained through debt, global control of the dollar, and a military presence that forced other nations to comply.

That illusion is now fading.

Is Trump Helping Create a New World Order?

Ironically, Trump, who ran on “America First,” may be accelerating the end of American supremacy.

• His trade wars and tariffs pushed China to strengthen its BRICS alliances instead of relying on the U.S.
• His unpredictability and foreign policy shifts convinced many nations that America can no longer be trusted.
• He’s polarized U.S. politics to the point where American democracy itself looks weak to the rest of the world.

Even before the 2024 election, world leaders have been making contingency plans for another Trump presidency—or the ongoing dysfunction of America. 

Meanwhile, BRICS nations aren’t waiting for America to figure itself out. They’re:
✔ Building their own economic alliances
✔ Moving away from the dollar
✔ Creating independent financial networks that don’t rely on the U.S.

If these trends continue, America will no longer be able to dictate global financial rules.

Are We Paying Attention?

The biggest problem isn’t just that the U.S. economy is weakening.

It’s that most Americans aren’t seeing the bigger picture.

Instead of talking about the real economic and geopolitical shifts, we’re fed a steady diet of:

• Celebrity scandals
• Culture wars
• Political circus distractions

Meanwhile, the rest of the world is preparing for a post-America reality.

The question is: Will we wake up before it’s too late?

Final Thought: The Power is Shifting

The world is moving on. The era of unquestioned American dominance is ending. The only question is: How will the U.S. respond?

Will we recognize the economic reality and adapt?

Or will we continue living in a fantasy—until the day we wake up and realize that the power has already shifted?

This one is powerful and cuts deep into the real issue. I think this will generate some serious engagement. Let me know if you want any final adjustments before publication!

That’s a profound and powerful thought, Issa. What if America truly embraced diversity not as a problem, but as its greatest strength—a real asset rather than a wedge issue?

Instead of tearing itself apart over culture wars, race, and identity politics, what if the U.S. leaned into its diversity as the core of its economic, social, and global advantage? Imagine if we stopped seeing differences as divisions and started building on them as competitive strengths.

This could be another great News from the Other Side article, flipping the script on the current narrative. America’s diversity isn’t a weakness—it’s its superpower.

Would you like to expand this into a full piece? I think this idea deserves to be articulated with depth and vision.

What If America Truly Believed in Its Diversity?

By Issa | News from the Other Side

America calls itself the land of opportunity, the melting pot of the world, the place where anyone can succeed regardless of background. It celebrates itself as the world’s greatest democracy, a beacon of freedom.

But what if America actually lived up to those ideals?

What if it truly believed in its diversity—not as a problem to be managed or a political battleground, but as its greatest strength?

Instead of fueling culture wars, racial divisions, and ideological battles, what if we built on the one thing that sets America apart from every other nation—its diversity?

This isn’t just a feel-good idea—it’s an economic, social, and global superpower.

Diversity is America’s Competitive Edge—If We Choose to See It

America is one of the most racially, culturally, and ideologically diverse nations on Earth. In a world that’s becoming more connected than ever, that should be an economic and diplomatic advantage.

Here’s what happens when we embrace diversity as a strength:

✔ Economically Stronger – Diverse workforces are proven to drive more innovation, creativity, and problem-solving. Studies show that companies with more diverse leadership outperform those that lack it.

✔ More United & Resilient – Countries that value inclusion tend to have stronger social trust and less internal strife. Instead of fighting each other, we’d be working together to build something real.

✔ A Global Powerhouse – Instead of America being seen as a country of endless infighting, we could be a model for how a truly globalized society functions. The world is diverse—why shouldn’t the leading nation reflect that?

Diversity isn’t a problem. It’s the very thing that makes America unique.

But instead of embracing that, we’ve been trained to see it as a threat.

How America’s Diversity Became a Weapon Instead of a Strength

If diversity is so powerful, why has it been framed as a problem?

Because division is profitable—for politicians, media corporations, and the powers that benefit from keeping people afraid of each other instead of working together.

✔ Politicians use culture wars to distract from real issues.

• Instead of solving problems like healthcare, debt, and the economy, they turn diversity into a battlefield.
• They convince people that “the other side” is the enemy—whether it’s race, religion, gender, or political ideology.

✔ The media amplifies division because it sells.

• Fear, outrage, and controversy drive clicks and views.
• A story about unity doesn’t get nearly as much engagement as a story about conflict.

✔ Corporations play both sides.

• They market diversity when it’s profitable but backtrack when political winds shift.
• They fund both conservative and liberal politicians, ensuring they stay in control no matter what.

Instead of seeing America’s mix of cultures, ideas, and backgrounds as an advantage, we’ve been conditioned to see it as a battle for dominance.

And that’s the biggest mistake we’re making.

What If We Chose to Build Instead of Divide?

Imagine an America that stopped obsessing over cultural warfare and instead focused on building a nation where diversity was a real advantage.

✔ What if our schools actually taught the full, rich history of all communities—not just a sanitized version that avoids discomfort?

✔ What if businesses truly embraced diverse talent, ideas, and global perspectives—not just as a checkbox but as a strategy for success?

✔ What if the government prioritized policies that uplifted all communities instead of pitting them against each other?

✔ What if the media stopped feeding division and started showcasing solutions?

If America truly believed in what it claims to stand for, we wouldn’t be in a culture war—we’d be leading the world in innovation, economic strength, and social unity.

Instead of arguing over who belongs, we’d be building a nation where everyone contributes and thrives.

The Choice is Ours

Right now, America has two paths:

1. Continue the Cycle of Division – Keep fighting each other while other nations build, grow, and surpass us.

2. Embrace Our True Strength – Recognize that diversity is not a weakness but our greatest asset—economically, socially, and globally.

We are constantly told that America is the best country in the world.

But being “the best” isn’t about slogans. It’s about choosing to live up to our ideals.

What if America actually became the country it tries to be?

What if we stopped fearing our differences and started using them to create something better?

That’s the America the world needs.

That’s the America we should demand.
