<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Generally speaking, I would say anything specifically enumerated inside the Constitution.<br /><br />The DoD "Budget" is enumerated under the Legislative Powers. Raising an Army (or drawing down) is enumerated. So in essence, anything directly related to Article 1, Section 8. Those are the most important issue(s).Sgt Aaron Kennedy, MSFri, 04 Sep 2015 11:23:48 -04002015-09-04T11:23:48-04:00Response by SSG Gerhard S. made Sep 4 at 2015 11:32 AM

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Stop working for the special interest groups including big business, big unions, big banks/investment firms, and foreign interests. Instead, do their job of promoting the general welfare by limiting their intrusions to ONLY those enumerated in the Constitution.<br />Congress should be doing LESS, not more. The less they agree with each other, and with the executive branch, the better. The more they abide by the limits constitutionally placed upon them, the more free and prosperous WE the people will be.SSG Gerhard S.Fri, 04 Sep 2015 11:32:53 -04002015-09-04T11:32:53-04:00Response by GySgt Wayne A.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Ending the hyperpartisanship and actually starting to work together to solve our country's problems. Seems like today's politicians prefer to leave the problems unsolved because doing so makes it much easier to get re-elected.LTC Kevin B.Fri, 04 Sep 2015 12:42:59 -04002015-09-04T12:42:59-04:00Response by SPC(P) Jay Heenan made Sep 4 at 2015 12:59 PM

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I wish Congress would do something out of character: Do no harm. Maybe we should require members of Congress to take the Hippocratic Oath instead of the oath of office. Sadly, I fear that the only hope of preventing them from doing harm is for them to take longer vacations.<br /><br />Many here seem to want them to start working together. Isn't that what they're already doing? Obviously, their universal intent is to remain in office. That explains why they serve special interests. Big money (unions, corporations, PACS, et al) supply the money needed to mount campaigns. If voters actually cared to elect proper representatives instead of voting for symbols (elephants and donkeys) or identities (race, gender, sexual orientation), all other problems would go away. <br /><br />Yes, my response does seem jaded, doesn't it? However, I firmly believe that we have the government that we deserve. If we honestly were unhappy with it, we would vote it out, wouldn't we?CPT Jack DurishFri, 04 Sep 2015 13:16:51 -04002015-09-04T13:16:51-04:00Response by PO1 John Miller made Sep 5 at 2015 3:31 AM

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div><br />I'd be happy if they would just remember who voted for them in the first place and forget who the Democrats, Republicans, and Independents are, remembering that they're all Americans first and foremost.PO1 John MillerSat, 05 Sep 2015 03:31:33 -04002015-09-05T03:31:33-04:002015-09-04T10:31:02-04:00
