Question

Oh, I have to pick one of THOSE? I voted B, because I believe education is the key to fixing the other issues on that list. Though if I'm completely honest, I think the biggest thing we need to fix is our hiring process. Our hiring process is shit, and is actually a major cause of options C and D.

a true... and actual education of quality, HUMANE quality... would ensure that all other problems get solved eventually  if something could be fixed instantly just like that, it should be that one

You can't fix peoples problems with not taking personal responsibility. Perhaps that might fall under education, educate and teach people to take responsibility for their own choices and not to expect others to bail them out.

People who take responsibility for their lives, often have better education (attend college and such) they also do so in a responsible way, such as find a degree/trade that will pay any loans they take out or be able to make a living on it when they are done... rather than expect tax payers to bail them out due to their poor choices.

They also will spend money better, rather than get in their heads over debts, not just in regards to student loans, but in regards to buying houses, credit card debt, and other debt.

All of that will assist in not becoming homeless.

My second choice would be homelessness, as I think poverty is a joke. The way the government rates poverty is stupid. Two people can make the EXACT same amount of money, but one is considered in poverty and the other is not, due to their own personal choices.

Homeless people need a lot more help, as it is like a ladder, if you fall off... you can't reach the bottom rung to pull yourself up on.

People in prison get better help to get back on their feet than homeless people do... and in my area, there is only one real homeless center and it is in the state capital, which means homeless people that want any help have to travel to the most crime ridden horrible place to even think about getting help.

They should have places in every town to help them get back on their feet, temporary assistance.

Then again, the big reason a lot of people become homeless is the government itself, with unreasonable debt loads in things like child support/alimony.

You were so close with the education option, why couldn't you leave well enough alone? Corruption simply isn't possible to fix completely, because we wouldn't have a political class or a high earner class of any alignment. You are always going to have people with less resources on a population for a variety of reasons, many of which are either naturally occurring or occur as a result of their own choices. Some debt is actually a sign of a healthy ad functioning economy, but the extremes we are at now are not. Either way, wiping that out with the Magic wand of government fiat would collapse the economy, not save it. Socialist fantasies like legislative debt removal are borne from a lack of understanding real world economics. If we could again have a several decades long moratorium on legal immigration, that would give us time to work on the many problems which are downstream from a flood of humanity pouring into a capsizing lifeboat.

Healthcare system  - Second place. I know how important healthcare is and most people neglect their health. They don't mean it when they say "health is important". This is a case where I'd say if it wasn't for the money problems or lack of accessibility then neglecting your health is your own fault and people will get what they deserve out of it.  The quality and equality of education - Education is a terrible joke taken too seriously in the job market. Not important.The national and personal debt removed - Do you know who is going to benefit from it? 0.01% of the population. The same % that drove the country into these debts. You think I'd choose to solve what the 0.01% fucked up at? Homelessness/poverty - My number 1 choice. I've been there before. Most people will benefit from having this problem being solved.

Respect, character. we lost that, that was forged in families.

this... to think of the people who fought, the final measure of life to have a country... to have it tossed in the toilet. We need this character of people, to train the young. But it seems hopeless to get back there...

Currently? It's Healthcare. I'm no communist, but I totally wouldn't mind it if we had a complete takeover of all of the major "health care" corporations and seized their assets and jailed their executives.

Alchemizt · Answer

I'm not American but I think it must be healthcare. It aches to see a person worrying over a hospital bill. Healthcare shouldn't be expensive.

Homelessness/poverty. I understand all are important, but let's get people living under a roof especially in the winter and with some decent money in their pockets first to begin to attack the social problems immediately.

If the national debt were removed, the government wouldn't intentionally be inflating the dollar away, to lower the actual cost of their debt. And everyone would be wealthier.
