Please... don't be fooled by the lies, false accusations without proof, and outrageous comments. None of this is designed to make America great, but it can be a political smokescreen to take our attention away from important issues that our country faces.
Truth be told, I did not write all of this... These thoughts and ideas come from me and a variety of social media platforms and through shared circles.
Our present political pollution must be immediately cleaned up if we are to improve our vile national climate.
The upcoming presidential debates must concentrate on the issues and not personal attacks. Candidates should prioritize difficult issues like education, job growth, social security as they pertain to medicare, fiscal responsibility, and intergenerational equity.
They must outline their plans to slow the rate of growth in health care costs that threatens many Americans. How will they encourage the country to save and reduce our dependency on the foreign lenders? How will they emphasize statutory budget controls, entitlement reform, current tax policies and encourage bipartisan action to review all issues and make recommendations with a guaranteed up or down vote by Congress?
We need to elect a president who will solve many critical issues, unite all Americans and educate the public to seek meaningful reforms.
