What Should President Obama Focus on in his Second Term?

[zsdersw]

other - suicide

Again, as other Obama critics regularly say, he screws up everything he touches... so calling for him to commit suicide is nothing but a guarantee that he remains alive.

obama must focus on the economy.

He needs to make real spending cuts and he can start with the military by bringing home all the troops and stop the drone strikes in Pakistan.

Cut foreign aid to all countries, People are free to donate their own money to a charity but government has no right to steal from them to give to others.

Real spending cuts to welfare/entitlements. It is critical that there are serious cuts to military AND welfare. This would save up hundreds of billions of dollars.

Eliminate the departments of Education, Energy, Interior, Commerce and HUD

If we had normal immigration they would all have to pass a physical exam to enter the USA. So the illegal invaders could be bringing in all kinds of health problems.

Take all the troops out of Europe. WWII ended a long time ago.

Get rid of homeland security. Isnt that what the FBI is for?

The economy.

So maybe he accidentally shoots Biden or Boehner - everybody wins!

Some of the debt can never be paid back.

For example, baby boomers have paid into the system their whole lives, but for some reason social security is going broke?

What happened to the money the baby boomers paid into the system? That money was robbed and spent on other things.

Spent on other goods and services that were given to the baby boomers...

Stop dreaming that tax increases will cover deficit spending. We need genuine cuts in all spending, not just cuts in the growth of that spending. That means NO GROWTH in any spending and taking it down below LAST YEARS LEVELS.

They play games like cut a 12% increase to 6% and say "look! we cut spending in half!!!". What a stupid mind game. Growth rates are already unsustainable to begin with! The sequester is just a cut in GROWTH, not spending.

Stop the spending and preserve our rights to gun ownership.

I'll tell ya what I'd like Obama to focus on, but guarantee he will not focus on...

Seriously cutting back social security, unemployment, and disability programs.

Stats, there are 2.8 workers for every person receiving social security. 12 workers for everyone receiving unemployment. 13 workers for every person receiving disability.

This is unsustainable, plain and simple. Nor is it fair in any way shape or form. I'm all for the "paycheck fairness act" so long as it also applies to fairness in workers versus non-workers. (my little ending rant)

Spent on other goods and services that were given to the baby boomers...

Spent on foreign aid, nuclear weapons, aid to illegal immigrants,,,,,. An estimated $2 billion a year is spent on medical services for illegal immigrants. Who is going to pay that $2 billion back to the baby boomers?

How much did we spend on the intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) program?

How much did vietnam, the cold war cost, 1991 iraq, 2001 iraq and afghanistan cost?
