Probably the most important thing is to stop the chronic disease epidemic here in the USA which is caused by unregulated corporation and the ignorance of the population. We are the sickest of the wealth nations. More than 60% of us has at least one chronic disease. Many have the at least 3, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Something like 12% have five chronic diseases (adding in arthritis, COPD, asthma, and/or AD. The group with 5, or more, are usually the elderly. People in their 40's and 50's are the ones with diabetes, heart disease and cancer. You are being distracted with nonsense and garbage news so you don't realize we are a dying population. It's nice for governement. It means they get to keep the social security ... and continue robbing from social security.
Most Americans have no idea how precarious our position is, how imperative it is that they vote blue this time around, or why our level of ignorance and corruption has peaked to the point where democracy may crash and burn. Most don't want anarchy but they don't know what to do to stop dissolution and chaos. They have only a vague sense of fear and are grasping at scapegoats to relieve their anxiety. I'd like to be optimistic but I think a populace with a significant number of people who view intellect as a vice will push us right back into war... and the dark ages. If Democrats don't at least win the House, I fear for my children and grandchildren.
Jim McLoughlin no question the government has not done a good job budgeting for our infrastructure but I blame both parties for waste of good tax payer money ! Both parties are playing a political game of football and neglecting the things that keep this country moving! Politicians an lawyers have run this country far to long! President Trump is non partisan business man who will bring better ideas and hope at less waste and cost to the American people. Lord knows past administrations haven't done anything, give him a chance!
Yea many people are dumb and don’t care or know. The guy who took my job when I retired was an idiot and still hasn’t learned. I had a binder on how to do the job.
We need to elect a MENSA member as president to drag this country kicking and screaming into the future! Too many dum dums running things with no long term vision. American society is hanging by a thread. We are so close to complete collapse is scary!
cut taxes for those who make less then 110k a year to zero and hike taxes for those who make over 5 million a year. to 50%.. all problems solved.... period
Chris Martino: Silly boy lol. Do you realize that people could become equal after 750 years of that system and that will become socialism. All the sacrifices made my the rich will have counted for nothing.
Why would anyone not commit tax evasion or move overseas with 50 percent taxes. It is stupid anyway as the wealthy often have securities or real estate insyead of cash due to how terrible it is for growth. It verbally loses a large percentage of its value every year due to inflation. Can't cut capital gains without hiting pensions and other Welath generating devices hard. You'll just slow your growth. That is why so many counties with welfare states that are large habe high income tax and low corporate tax.
Microsoft Windows came from the federal government? AFAIK it came from Xerox PARC (Palo Alto Research Center) where both Steve Jobs and Bill Gates attended a presentation about the technology.
This is a discussion about an administration believing it can learn everything it needs to know about governance in 2 hours. Please read "Moneyball" before reading "The Fifth Risk" (T-ball before Hardball).
The democrats still have no message,,, I am still waiting as the political pendulum swings, they grow deeper and further away from winning elections, either they start their long journey toward the center or soon they will be so far left they will be off the map....... You can't squeeze blood from a turnip, and you can't have more free programs then the revenue can support...the end result from socialism is that the rich they wish to tax to pay for welfare will take their money far out of the reach of government, since then there is no money to pay for the free stuff they will open government run companies and require the people getting the free stuff to work for them every one gets the same pay which is nothing and if you don't work for them you starve.. So when you think about it these communist are trying to sucker people into thinking they will be getting something for free a trick to take over your government so they can force everyone into a government sweat shop and take the profits and put it into their pockets while everyone ends up working for free..... here you are watch this short video: ua-cam.com/video/IkB3jAST7qE/v-deo.html
This guy is insane.... the government will run as it did prior to Trump,, one has to realize it can't run on love it needs GDP and jobs in the private sector which Trump took care of,,, you can open your doors for business but if you have no capital you have no money for supplies to make your product and all of your employees will be sitting round twiddling their thumbs costing the company more money then it is taking in.. Obama could not even balance his own check book,, in fact he left his own political party not only penniless but in a huge amount of debt,,, he was a debt president no matter whose fault...Obama was president for 8 years he had 8 years to fix it blames it on Bush, Trump did it in less then 500 days he recovered an economy that was left in shambles by several past administrations, he didn't sit around crying about whose fault the mess came from he just went about and fixed it.... Praise Donald J. Trump.....
Friend u have been watching too much fox news. Turn off the tv and pick up a history book. Most of what u just said is not only wrong it makes no sense. The GOP is no longer the party of fiscal responsibility and they are on the wrong side of history on every major issue. Obama inherited an economy in a recession, got us out of the recession and put us on a path of growth which trump is now claiming credit for. Did his tax cuts for the rich boost an already growing economy? Maybe. Were the tax cuts necessary? No. I could go on but my recommendation to you is to actually read this guys book. Personally i dont trust a guy who has declared bankruptcy numerous times and admitted to not paying taxes to fiddle with tax law or balance a budget. I try to watch a little fox news and cnn everyday so i can hear both sides and i balance it out with pbs newshour (the only true unbiased news). My unsolicited advice to you is to get out of your bubble and vote for people who are willing to compromise to get good bipartisan bills passed. The country is broken. Democracy is hanging by a thread.
The Federal Government is 2,000,000 people. We obviously need to hire more people - preferably people who don't work much and aren't too smart. FYI ---- Obama had zero experience running anything, let alone the Federal Government.

Take the millionaires out and put in people who work. It's a job not a title.
You'll get the Soviet union. At least read a history book begore spouting off nonsense. Millionared in politics hoeever are in every party.

Absolutely, Starting with school teachers, dept. of public works, fire and police are poorly utilized and undervalued.

Never thought he was going to win. Always remember this. At the core it explains everything.
Yep, on election night when Pennsylvania was called for Trump and locked-in his win, he did not have a victory speech prepared
that Lewis is smiling over this administration's complete lack of competence makes me angry----country is in a precarious situation right now
Ignorance, recklessness and greed
Before anyone starts talking about risk(s) he/she should better first clarify upfront if that "riak" is real ... ! ...
"Infectiousness" is not!

Edumacation.
See above. Ignorance can be fixed, you know the rest.
Sad. Bigly.
@@jimmcloughlin all the sacrifice s made by the rich.... No such thing
Every member of Congress should be forced to read this book, well, at least the ones that can read 😂
