Congress needs to get a handle on the national debt, all else is secondary.
Apparently, some people can’t quite seem to grasp the effects that debt has on the economics of America.

This poll is completely useless. Both McConnell and Ryan have said exactly what both houses of Congress will be focused on before recess. Which doesn’t include any of the options being offered anyway.
This is a great Poll because it shows how poorly the Republican run Congress has failed to tackle the important issues of today. What have they done about the National Debt- except increase it!
The President is trying to cut the costs of prescription drugs, not the Congress. And of course we still are stuck with Obamacare.
If the Republicans lose control of the house in November it will be because of a lack of leadership on their part.
What are they afraid of?

Take care of DACA who in effect ARE US citizens! now! Stop the deportation of illegals that have lived here for 5,10, 30 yrs or more. They have families, jobs, businesses and need a path to full citizenship. They are here because congress has not done their job of closing the borders and returning them in a timely manner.

All the choices were worthy but I chose to lower the cost of prescription drugs because right now it’s good politics. But there is a lot we should do ASAP, fund the wall!, stop giving aid to illegal aliens, stop giving foreign aid to countries that don’t like the US. Allow insurance to be bought across state lines.

First of all this “poll” should have had an “all of the above” button with a spot to place your own priority. Yes, it is a poor reflection on Congress. From what I am hearing, Congress has passed some legislation, but its been Sen. Mitch McConnell who is sitting on them! Can you say “Harry Reid? (BTW how is it McConnell’s approval rating sits around 19% but keeps getting re-elected?)

Handling the National Debt. What is the liklihood of Trump reintroducing the Gold Standard at $10,000 an ounce? National Debt could be wiped out. The US has more gold than the next 3 highest countries put together. I also have the opinion that Prescription Drugs kill people.

None of the above! Stop supporting ILLEGAL aliens and build the wall!
At the federal, state, and local levels, taxpayers shell out approximately $134.9 billion to cover the costs incurred by the presence of more than 12.5 million illegal aliens, and about 4.2 million citizen children of illegal aliens. That amounts to a tax burden of approximately $8,075 per illegal alien family member and a total of $115,894,597,664.
The Federal government spends a net amount of $45.8 billion on illegal aliens and their U.S.-born children after the honest ones pay $18,968,857,800 in taxes. This amount includes expenditures for public education, medical care, justice enforcement initiatives, welfare programs and other miscellaneous costs. It also factors in the meager amount illegal aliens pay to the federal government in income, social security, Medicare and excise taxes.

Since Obamacare is in the lead, it needs to be repealed and replaced with something affordable. There was way too much discussion about only repealing which would be a disaster. There need to be affordable options for the self employed as well as many others! I would just like congress to do something. Why do they need a recess? They are largest group of people collecting a paycheck and not producing any work! If we did that, we would be fired!

While I would prefer getting rid of the rest of Obamacare, doing so NOW, right before the All Important Mid-Rem Elections, May have a rallying effect for a certain segment of the Independent Voter Bloc AGAINST the GOP while Lowering the Cost of Prescription Meds would be seen as a Huge POSITIVE, especially by the Senior Vote Across the Political Spectrum. 😉 Think People, Think. 🙂

Lousy bastards, all, need to grow a set and start passing our agenda. The wall, appeal Obama care, immigration and all else. Bringing tax reform 2.0 now, nothing, but a rouse. They said they couldn’t do it along with tax reform 1.0, what’s different now? They bring it now only to have your attention during the midterms and lied to us that at the time it couldn’t be done. This was nothing but a strategy based on our trust in their honesty and our ignorance.
Now it’s midterm and they run on the credits of what Trump has done and not what they have done. If I listed the congress achievements next to Trumps the congress column is bare. And now they say that if we don’t vote for them we will regress. same fear tactics as their brethren democrats. Screw them! I say let Trump continue to MAGA, KAGA, without them as he has done for the past two years and gamble that in 2020 we will have some real patriots to vote for.
