Re: My opinion? How about the War?-endless debates, posturing, and gridlock not enough for you?
How about excessive spending?-so long as their constituents keep getting pork projects, no one will care enough about excessive spending.
Excessive taxes?-huh? ask Canadians or Swedes about excessive taxes.
So-So Security?-I agree with you on this one; the governments' primary mission is to protect our border, which is something they have failed miserably at.
Iran?-at least we're talking to them now. Imagine the Cold War without the behind the scenes diplomacy.
Illegal immigration?-see above on "so so security"
Jobs?-this is a sticky widget; there appears to be lots of work for those who want it-but little long term security, and benefits continue to be a nationwide issue.
Energy?-so long as big Oil is "big Oil", our energy policy will be pretty much the same.
Terrorism?-really, where are the parties responsible for 9-11?
Education?-don't believe the hype, this isn't as bad as the media would portray it. it's bad, but it can be fixed. the choices to do so aren't easy, or cheap-but it can be fixed.
Inflation?-I'm with you on this one. Everyone pretends it doesn't exist, but it surely does.
Housing market?-Perhaps this "market correction" was long overdue.
Crime?-More cops, please.
Healthcare?-Unless "Big Medicine" and "Big Insurance" are removed from the cost structure of this equation, this will continue to be an issue.
Tort reform?-how about "law reform" on pretty much all levels. The whole system appears corrupt, inept, and out of touch with reality. |
