Why the Downfall of the United States of America’s Economy Inevitable

There is an ongoing economic crisis ongoing in the United States right now and for me the main reasons are the following:
1. overproduction
2. greed for power
3. global militarization

I. Overproduction – in order to preserve their power over the third-world countries, they mass produced things which are not really that important. Overproduction is meant as excessive production; supply beyond the demand. This leads to lower prices and/ or unsold goods. This overproduction therefore produces unrequired features that the customer does not value. This is what we call imperialism. What do we mean by imperialism? Imperialism is defined as:
a) The practice of one country extending its control over the territory, political system, or economic life of another country.
b) The complete control of a weaker nation’s social, economic, and political life by a stronger nation.
c) Economic control gained through the corporate organization of nation states.
d) The belief in empire-building; a belief that one is entitled to conquer other nations.
e) A policy in which stronger nations attempt to create empires by dominating weaker nations economically, politically, or militarily; also called expansionism.
f) The policy of forcefully extending a nation’s authority by territorial gain or by the establishment of economic and political dominance over other nations.


II. Greed - excessive desire for getting or having, esp. wealth; desire for more than one needs or deserves; avarice; cupidity. Power - The state or quality of being physically strong: brawn, might, muscle, potence, potency, powerfulness, puissance, sinew, strength, thew. They (the United States of America) supremely believed that they have the divine power (Manifest Destiny) over all the other nations. Manifest Destiny is a concept of U.S. territorial expansion westward to the Pacific Ocean. The phrase was coined in 1845 by the editor John L. O'Sullivan, who described the U.S. annexation of Texas and, by extension, the occupation of the rest of the continent as a divine right of the American people. The term was used to justify the U.S. annexation of Oregon, New Mexico, and California and later U.S. involvement in Alaska, Hawaii, and the Philippines.


III. Militarization - act of assembling and putting into readiness for war or other emergency: "mobilization of the troops".
War is defined as the following:
1. A vying with others for victory or supremacy: battle, competition, contest, corrivalry, race, rivalry, strife, striving, struggle, tug of war, warfare.
2. A state of open, prolonged fighting: belligerency, conflict, confrontation, hostility (used in plural), strife, struggle, warfare.
3. A state of disagreement and disharmony: clash, conflict, confrontation, contention, difference, difficulty, disaccord, discord, discordance, dissension, dissent, dissentience, dissidence, dissonance, faction, friction, inharmony, schism, strife, variance, warfare.

Conclusion:
The United States of America is the main arms manufacturer (weapons of mass-destruction) in the world. Where there exists conflict, the U.S. benefit from it. Where there is civil war, the U.S. always has a hand on it. They spend too much on militarization with the hope that they take control of the economic, political and cultural aspects particularly of third-world countries all over the world. They declare that they are the police of the world, the champions of democracy when in fact they are the real enemies. They are an imperialist monster masquerading as an ally and friend. Their anarchic mass productions boomeranged on them. They have wasted so much time and effort producing products which are of no value at all. They have loaned so much money to poor countries with high interests but these poor countries couldn’t pay in return. I t therefore conclude that the downfall of the United States economy is inevitable because a wrongdoing can never be right. In the end, the right shall prevail.
