The US Political Landscape
What's the most important issue for you?I think it's not what the politicians are mouthing off about. The "federal budget" and the "deficit" are important. The issue of "Don't ask don't tell" is important. Health care, Wall Street corruption, the Banks, Tax cuts, all important issues, but are any of them on the top of your list of priorities?
More than likely your list begins with the basic necessities for yourself and your family. Things like food, clothing, shelter, transportation, education and health care, and some luxuries like "pie and ice cream", "a TV", and the like. Things that depend on your having and sustaining a suitable income.
