The Priorities according to you (Congress, middle east, illegal, healthcare)

[Alonso_Castillo]

What Priorities would you claim that USA must face first and in what order?

[WannaliveinGreenville]

1.Welfare Fraud.
2.Food Stamp /SNAP Abuse.
3.Animal Welfare/punishment for abuse.
4.Healthcare Program that works effectively and helps everyone.
5.Deporting Illegal Immigrants ASAP.

Those are mine. I am sure there a bazillion more... but these stand out to me as important.

[theunbrainwashed]

1. Single Payer healthcare
2. Rebuilding our infrastructure
3. Cleaning up the environment and drawing down on agricultural pollution with excessive pesticide use
4. 8 year moratorium on H1B visas
5. Deporting unauthorized immigrants
6. Closing down all US overseas bases

[PedroMartinez]

Top 5:

1. Immigration control (all aspects)
2. Debt.
3. Healthcare.
4. Reducing the federal government.
5. Tax reform.

BTW, good thread topic.

[Drewjdeg]

1. Repeal Citizens United
2. Fix the ACA
3. Decrease military spending, end corporate welfare
4. Lower taxes on the middle and lower class, increase on the wealthy
5. Increase investments in infrastructure and science

[censusdata]

1. Growing income inequality


2. Erosion of workers rights (going back to working 6 days a week for 12 hours a day)


3. Renegotiate all trade deals to be more fair, stop the hemorrhaging of manufacturing jobs


4. Scrape our current broken immigration system and replace it with what Canada has (number of immigrants allowed constantly adjusted based on unfilled openings in the job market.

This list works well for me too.

1. Campaign finance reform. Until we get the money out of politics, nothing else matters. To quote Bernie " We are profoundly corrupt."

2. Renegotiate trade deals and crack down on abuse of the H1B program.

3. Address immigration. It needs to be merit based, sensible, and drastically slowed. We cannot continue to import poverty.

4. Foreign policy. Why must we continue to interfere in the Middle East? I don't want one drop of American blood shed for those people.

5. Supreme Court. I want our rights protected.

[gallowsCalibrator]

1. Restrictions on Congress for term limits and conflict of interest
2. From bottom to top (including military), refactoring government budgets to cut all frivolous and useless expenditures
3. Education overhaul
4. Healthcare overhaul
5. Reduce military budget in exchange for increasing infrastructure project budgets

[t206]

1. Debt
2. Education reform
3. Term Limits
4. Viable 3rd parties
