Pay Attention

There are a few things that I wish President Trump and the Republican Party would pay more attention to. Yes, I realize that they already have a full plate with trade, immigration, North Korea, the next election, Iran, continued economic growth, the swing to Socialism, Venezuela, Russian mischief, etc.  And I suppose that we might cut Trump some slack on the following  issues. Nevertheless, it would be helpful if these problems were at least mentioned more as being solutioned in our future:

- Our continued deficit spending is continuing to drive up our national debt. We need to see some real moves by Trump and Co. to control this outflow. Some bipartisan support would also be nice.

- There really is a potentially explosive issue in the wide wealth disparity that exists between the classes in America. Although solutions to this problem run counter to the gut instincts of many conservatives, the eventual consequences of this disparity could create a societal rupture with serious consequences. I have made some suggestions along this line ... see: Me a Liberal?

- Fixing our infrastructure has a difficult path when America is running such huge deficits. But, this is an issue that Trump did identify when running for office ... and I believe he needs to fund a way to show some progress on this front.

- The United States finds itself hobbled by foreign entanglements ... most of them legacies from previous administrations. Clearly fixing these conundrums cannot be remedied all at once. But it would be nice if a few of these difficult problems ... Cuba, Afghanistan, Turkey, Syria, Qatar, Philippines, etc. ... could be normalized.

So, on top of everything Trump is accomplishing, I want more. And I do believe that, if Trump is re-elected, these concerns have to be addressed.
