What should be the domestic policy priorities of the US government? It's pretty important to think of things in this way - if all our conversation is on the 7th most important issue, we're by definition missing some big things. My list would probably be...
1) Unemployment/jobs
2) Strength of economy
3) Rising cost of Medicare
4) Climate change/energy policy
5) Social Security payment gap
6) National debt
7) Education
8) Immigration reform
9) Criminal justice/sentencing issues
That's generally how I feel in my gut, but it's hard to make a list like this. The big takeaway to me is that focusing on the deficit at the expense of or even at cost to the unemployed is really dumb. What's your list?
