When it comes to prioritization, the American people place a great deal of importance on a plethora of issues. Despite Washington's relative inefficiency in solving long term problems, the majority of the public believes that the American government should place these issues on the top of the list of priorities.

A favor to yourself: see The Law by Frederic Bastiat, a brief essay/book also available on You tube in 10 min. increments ; part 1/9 etc.

Amazing read and audio. Should be BASIC to ever GRADE School civics class. Easy read/listen! A classic as solid on government /econ 150 yrs. ago as it is today!
