Trump is right again. Security first.

Then, education is important and the federal government has a huge role in devolving their massive role and allowing states and institutions more freedom. He is right education is important at the federal level as the federal involvement in education is destructive and needs to be supportive and constructive.

And yes, the federal government also has a HUGE role in healthcare and needs to use that role to increase private competition, reform Medicaid and strengthen medicare.


Well, you and Trump are both 1 for 3 there. First, yes, security. But that's it. The federal govt doesn't need to be involved in education at all. There is no supportive/constructive. It's NOT AT ALL. As to healthcare, the govt's only involvement should maybe be viral/disease research, military-related stuff, and healthcare for its employees. Medicaid and medicare should both be eliminated. If a state wants to have its own forms of that, they can do that. But the FedGov has no role in spending my money oh stuff it shouldn't be touching in the first place.

LOL. Name one Rep member of Congress that advocates this position. If any did, they would be defeated. The overwhelming majority of people want these programs continued and their rolls are increasing every day. They need to be reformed since they will bankrupt us if we don't. Medicare has been running in the red since 2008.

Healthcare should be #2, it’s a 1/3 of the budget so if the government doesn’t make that a top 3 priority then it’s malpractice. Just because the effort might be devolving it still makes it a top issue, probably #2.
