Most Important Issue Poll

So the poll has been closed, and most put the Economy as the most important issue, though there was a vote for the environment and national debt.

First off, I will discuss national debt. I think that is closely related with the economy, but I also think that to fix many economic problems, the debt must be reduced and stay that way until we reach a equilibrium. Once that has occurred, we must be careful to maintain that, then, and only then, will we truly prosper. The debt is pivotal to many economic issues, and fixing that will fix a lot of our problems. It will take sacrifice from all citizens, but it is highly worth it in the end.

Second, I will go over the economy. Yes this is a major problem we are dealing with today and it needs to be fixed. The economy ties into all the different sectors of society. Fixing the economy would most indefinitely be repairing the American dream.

Third is the environment. With the increase of warming around the globe (a proven fact that can be seen through research and data) has wide-ranging effects from draught to more intense weather patterns. It is most likely we will be increasing our disaster aid in the coming decades to this warming trend. And for those of you who are not good with science, an increase in temperature increases evaporation in areas that usually tend to get rainfall, increase draught conditions in areas where they get some-little rain, and an increase in temperature of the water which feeds hurricanes and melts glaciers, which in turn melt and do not reflect the sun's energy as much. Hopefully that was not too confusing. In short, not focusing on environmental issues such as destruction of wetlands and other natural habitat will cost us billions down the road. Wetlands in Louisiana protect the area around it from some of the strength of hurricanes, mitigating effects of waves and wind. This is only one habitat though that helps us. There are countless others we are destroying that will prove to be a negative for our society. And with climate change, we will spend billions in the coming future paying for disasters. Turning over a new leaf now, right now, will lessen some of the effects and save us countless of dollars and possibly even human lives. Whether you think these people are alarmist or tree huggers that think this way, there is more scientific support from the science community than the reverse side. Ignoring science is a huge misstep that no one should take. This is a topic I will discuss in a future post about many of the GOP candidates
Helping the environment will help our economy and other crisis around the world.
