Mos...Okay so I am not supposed to say what I am - <br /><br />Most of those issues, should be delegated to the state level;ie Education, Crime, Drug and alcohol addiction, welfare, food stamps, housing, abortion issues, legalization of Marijuana, Prostitution, Gambling. Each state is wonderfully diverse from each other and only each state can legislate knowing their own unique cultures they have in that state. <br /><br />The Federal Government needs to provide the safety and climate so that the states can do all that they need for their people. The federal government, takes care of securing our national defence and borders (with some help with bordering states) creating a healthy economy, world peace is a joke, Healthcare,<br />Civil rights, The right to bear arms, Food drug safety. <br /><br />I might have forgotten something, but I believe the less involvement of the federal government into our lives, the better. Let the states, take care of us and the feds, protect us.

Keep the government out of the headlines and they can get back to work rather than putting out fires that are meant to decrease their approval ratings. Media is out of control.<br /><br />All the items you list are important, but if I were to choose priority, it would be secure our nation, promote economic growth, and institute tax reform. Part of securing our nation is getting control over illegal immigration. Part of economic growth is increasing jobs and labor demand by deporting illegal immigrant felons. Part of tax reform is cut government regulation, completely wipe out the IRS, and implement a flat tax across the board.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15901684621715980573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-29243467978233111052017-03-04T23:22:56.770-05:002017-03-04T23:22:56.770-05:00I could even come close to which is #1 or #100 iss...I could even come close to which is #1 or #100 issue.

Probably because I'm a healthcare worker getting near retirement who doesn't want to live under a bridge eating cat food. (Don't eat dog food, it has bone parts that can kill you..I saw it on Law and Order). We can't get certain drugs because they're back ordered. Why? Because Viagra gets priority because it makes more money than a drug to keep you safely asleep during surgery. That's all I have to say about that.yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047536332780197024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-6133337782330484912017-03-04T20:07:02.917-05:002017-03-04T20:07:02.917-05:00Politics baffle me.

So if we want our leaders to give us everything, shouldn't we raise taxes enough to cover the cost of everything? Just getting stuff without paying for it is unsustainable. Some day we're going to have to face the music. We should pay as we go, or agree that some very desirable things we want are simply out of our reach.Lowandslowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08608734222483888884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-67659020276741241492017-03-04T10:35:20.252-05:002017-03-04T10:35:20.252-05:00Very well said.
