E. Too Many Abortions...No such thing. If every woman who wants an abortion can get one that is the right amount.


F. Too Many Restrictions on Abortion...That is a big issue because it is an attack on ALL rights starting with the right to one's own body....loss of rights should be the biggest issue. People might think this is a "women's issue" but loss of rights IS loss of rights and WILL affect everyone....

Paraphrasing a well known comment on rights:

They came for the women's rights and I said nothing,

They came for my rights and no one was left to speak for me...

 

I really hate Ginsberg and now Slick Willy also for nominating her.

It's not really a true problem because she is already starting to drool and so God (or Lucifer) will soon call her home and then Trump will nominate someone else similar to Gorsuch. Then the problem will have fixed itself.

 

JOPQ is fine.

 

What are the Nation's Top Issues Most Needing to be Addressed (US)?

Number 1 is a natural polemic of political, social and economic discourse so there is nothing that can be done to eliminate it.
The following, I oppose and will provide explanation(s).

2) Economic and social Inequality

3) Sustainability, particularly Global Warming

4) Global support for human rights and democracy.

5) Radical Reformation of the Political Process: particularly gerrymandering. Also partial technocratic control within a democratic context.

All of the above starkly resemble crusades, so I oppose them on that basis. In the age of the decline of the "American" Imperial decline, we cannot afford to engage in any crusades, but unfortunately we are currently engaged in the lunacy of "crusade" under multiple facades but they are ALL the same with the same objective and goal(s) which ARE expediting the further decline of Empire, so it behooves all who want the empire to survive to be extremely cautious when it comes to further engagement under the guise of seeking survival and viability.

 

That's the nature of a federation/confederation treaty. The member states delegate certain powers to the federation, yet retain their sovereignty.

 

A. Political corruption

Nothing follows for without achieving this goal, none will exist to be achieved.

 

The inadequate salaries being paid to average U.S. workers resulting in 28 consecutive months of spending exceeding income growth with income growth of 0.3% month over month but spending growth of 0.6%.We are borrowing more both as individuals and by our government as the National Debt continues to grow.If we had a truly healthy economy savings would be growing not debt.

 

When you have an excess of workers then pay will always be low.

Pay does not rise until businesses start to pay a premium for stealing other businesses' workers.

Business managers never pay more than they have to for workers, and they always lowball.

 

I will go with the dictionary definition of: possessing supreme or ultimate power.

The states earned their sovereignty by winning the revolutionary war. The treaty of paris states:

His Brittanic Majesty acknowledges the said United States, viz., New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, to be free sovereign and independent states, that he treats with them as such, and for himself, his heirs, and successors, relinquishes all claims to the government, propriety, and territorial rights of the same and every part thereof.
