The one issue worth mentioning is the nomination of Supreme Court Justices. The next term is likely to see 2 more.

Imo, it's one of the biggest issues that is getting next to no public discussion.

The more this issue gets attention the more it will become politicized and the more it is worth worrying about.

Supreme Court Justices will have a bigger impact on our country then any president.

I may be misunderstanding you, but it's a huge issue whether or not attention is being paid to it.

The problem associated with judges is if they are blindly partisan idiots. The problem with the issue becoming politicized is that you increase the chances of getting some moron.

Cutting the federal budget by 50%.

No, I don't care how anymore. Just get total spending down to about 1.8T



Running surpluses or lowering revenue as well?



Surpluses. Keep taxes at their current level (about 18% of GDP) until the majority of our debt is gone. Hold spending (including interest payments) to about 15% of GDP.


Feel free to allocate that money however you want (and collect it from whomever you want). I've got a lot of preferred ideas on those topics, but none of that is critical. What is critical is getting our spending under control, or we are going to have a 3rd revolution.

Not Him has been the only choice for 80% of the elections I have been through the past 40+ years.
