DEBATES

November is not too far off.

Do the lessons of history apply? In the 1950’s we were engaged in the ‘Korean Police Action’ which is now referred to as the Korean War. We entered as a humanitarian effort for the United Nations in favor of the people of South Korea. Recently, Rand Paul went before the U. S. Senate stressing who has the Constitutional right to declare war.

President Obama has set the rules of engagement for dealing with ISIS. When will the Senate, and the House, represent us and demand the definition of how the United States is proceeding against a Jihad? Or is that a secret we are not entitled to know? Have the Press, our Fourth and Fifth Estates, given the citizens of the United States the full picture? Are we in another Police action that sixty years from now a foreign leader will produce a video of Washington DC being removed by nuclear ICBM? As part of our twenty trillion dollar deficit, we deserve a clear picture of the billions spent on the United Nations. 

What is the plan with our allies engaged in our Middle East actions? These are proper subjects for Presidential Debates?

We are on the verge of Trump achieving the nomination of the Republican Party. Our problem is that the campaigning has not addressed the biggest behind the scenes problem facing our country, from the perspective of a retiree without a corporate funding plan. Those of us with private funds supporting our retirement easily recognize the danger of $20,000,000,000 national debt. The debt will effect all phases of the country from defense through foreign relationd to Social security and the list will go on.

The second biggest problem is what will be done about the Obama Care or the ACA damage to Medicare and other health premiums.

If curtailing of immigration will reduce the spending of funds on Welfare and Free Healthcare, there might a step in the correct direction. A small step that will be.

The return of manufacturing businesses to our shores will require more than punishing CARRIER.

Trump has said nothing about the IRS or implementing tax reforms.

Religious believers must pray that who becomes president will return sensibility to the American economy and way of life.
