I want my government to make conditions ripe for a prosperous economy, maintain our social security/medicade/medicare, keep roads and bridges in good shape, deliver our mail, maintain law and order in the streets and keep us safe from enemies who wish us harm.
This may be over simplifying what the government should be doing, but I think this should be the focus of our presidential candidates and how I intend to judge them going forward.
God bless our new president whomever it may be

We now expect way, way too much from government and all levels, federal, state, and local. We cant afford to ask the government to do so much anymore and we must all learn to live with less. This is unsustainable.

We do have social medicine, Mo it's just not advertised as such.
My mother inlaw is a recent immigrant with no job and she gets just as good care as my wife and I with full time benefits. She pays practically nothing out of pocket too.

WE do not have social medicine for everyone. Note the key is everyone.

Why is socialized medicine nly available for senior citizens?
I think being a citizen needs to come with more benefits than just the right to vote.

To preserve liberty and obey the constitution ... which it has failed at spectacularly on both counts. Mostly because of people who ignorantly demand that government do certain things that it was not designed or authorized to do so. [looking at you]

What is sad is I in the past was very irresponsible with my finances, charging on my charge card more than I earned. Finally I got laid off and I couldnt pay my huge credit card bills. I see the US government as being no more responsible with its finances than I was.
The end result for me was I can now have no more credit cards. The US government still gets to keep its credit card( a Chinese one) and it still spends at the exact same level.

I don't expect anything from anyone, but I will try to make the best of anything I can.
If there is to be government it should benefit the people governed as much as it benefits the people in charge.
Equity is important. Life may not be fair, but if you want someone to do what you want you're going to have to make it worth their time.
The people are growing restless. Some big changes are going to be made soon. The government is actively preparing for the confrontation. It expects domestic terrorism to grow, and it is training people to combat it.
We're heading for some soul trying times.

What do I want... Them to stop trying to micro manage every aspect of my life, enforce american laws within american borders, protect american lives abroad, deliver the mail on time.
What do I expect, further expansion of the nanny state powers till everyone relies on the goverment from cradle to grave. Oh and a further eroding of our basic rights.
