Stay with your message to the people. Do those things you have been talking about for months. Help us to believe in you by ensuring us you mean what you say; stay away from interest groups and represent the people.

Personally, my favorite program is Amtrak Joe's (VP Joe Biden's), High Speed Rail Corridor program and I think they need to finish what was started there. They invested a lot of money and are not even 50% complete. I would like to see them complete at least one Midwest Corridor to at least 110 mph operation in the next two years time frame. Additionally, would like to see the Private Sector encouraged as well to increase it's HSR efforts so that at some point in the future the government can exit the business as much as possible. Carefully watching the Florida HSR Miami to Orlando effort which is a mixed Real Estate Development / HSR play and being done with private sector money. It should start up next year (2017).....we'll see if it is profitable.
Next, would like to see the Economy consistently growing above 3% GDP. Last, would like to see the end strength of the Army, Navy, USAF, and Marines increased. In my view the Active Army should be at 600,000 minimum or it's current set of obligations cut back. If I had to pick one obligation that we should have eliminated years ago.....it's MFO duty in the Middle East.

Sir, I'd ask the new President no matter who it is "Have you talked to JIPPSO and got your pack out date yet"? It's a shame they haven't even moved in and I'm already looking forward to them leaving. Trump or HRC....I'm ready to call JIPPSO on Belvior and schedule their packout dates myself.

Good luck. You inherit a badly damaged nation that is bitterly divided along almost every socioeconomic line there is or can be invented. The recent campaign encapsulated it all and since neither of you in the major parties addressed it, how will you reverse the national slide into fiscal disaster? We cannot keep counting on simply being the least moronic place to store funds as a fiscal plan of any sort?
Other than a few fanboys, most of the nation thinks at best you were the lesser of two evils. You will have to try to change that attitude somehow and from what I saw during the campaign season, neither of you had the slightest plan to do so.
Read our Constitution and obey it, by doing so you would do us all a world of good.

Heather T - First off please note this was to whoever won. It fits both even if I was surprised by a Trump win
The popular vote went Clinton's way by a slight degree, a statistical blip. The amount of folks who decided both major parties were a soup sandwich was far greater than that margin. Also many folks simply did not bother to vote period, that number increased this electoral cycle too.
You'll note I said AT BEST regarding Trump (as it turned out) as the lesser, no doubt many who voted Clinton thought the same there. Neither candidate rated very high on trustworthiness/likeability BUT Clinton was clearly the worst on those fronts.
The complaints about the electoral college always come out from the losing major party, been that way for several decades and inevitably has more to do w/loss than constructive criticism. Both Bill Clinton & Bush II sure thought it worked out for them as did their supporters.
Look at the problem (the 435 limit on congressional reps) rather than the symptom. Increased representation would benefit the nation as a whole; increasing the number of political parties, decrease the effects of lobbyists, and maybe just maybe by widening the base of national politics, decrease national apathy.

Please install an across the board flat tax for every person legal or illegal that is reasonable so we can start paying down this debt and have some form of normalcy in Washington. and bring both sides together on the major issues we have also install a national health care program to end all this madness about health care which would fix Medicare, Medicaid and VA so a Vet can go anywhere for medical service along with every other citizen of the U.S.

Yes I do. Currently the people making millions pay almost all of the tax, most of the so-called "middle class" don't pay shit and those at or below the poverty level make money off of the current tax system thanks to the bogus "earned income credit" which allows them to "get back" thousands that they never paid in. I also would like to see ALL deductions done away with so that everyone actually does pay their fair share.
