Education › School Truancy
9>9 Personal answerPublic Education is a priviledge Provoding our young people the absolute minimum knowledge, information, skills necessary to become functionable & contributing members of adult society. In my opinion, repeated truancy reflects a bigger and deeper problem with both the child and his/her/their parent. As such, truants should be removed from the home and placed in a military-type school which teachs discipline (such as regulated schedules & behaviors), teamwork (understanding impact of actions on others, thinking of others and so on), basic education (reading, writing, basic math) and offer skills like plumbing, HVAC, electrician, auto and computer repair, etc). |
the Economy › Pension Reform
9>9 Personal answerYes - definately for all future workers including Congress and the Prez. In addition, Local, State and Feds and any remaining private or semi-private companies need to come up with a plan - and stick to it - so that all current pension plans are fully funded and invested. Pensions were a nice theory, but allowing companies to defer fully funding them each year, esp. during the baby boomers years has created a huge deficit, burden and problem for the financial current and future of those programs. This is a topic most ordinary citizens do NOT understand. |
Domestic Policy › Air Force One
9>9 Personal answerNo, not until the cost ($4B) is dramatically reduced |
