Which issue matters to you the most?:

Taxes, Spending, and Debt

How does the issue affect you or your community personally? Tell us a story.:

Taxes, spending, and and our national debt impacts everything else! If we were making everything we need in our own country we would not need to be beholden to China and certainly not in
mind-boggling debt to it!The fact that we are giving billions of dollars to Egypt that is making us yet more indebted to China is beyond belief; the silly war in Afghanistan being run on Chinese money again! Stop USA, already!

What's the one question you'd ask a politician about this issue?:

Just do one thing as a country: Make a list of items we can not lilve without. For example, clean air, clean water, warm/cool homes, food, etc. Put these items in the national budget and prioritize EVERYTHING ELSE!
