Space Force

This country desperately needs infrastructure improvements.  Bridges, roads, sewers in most areas need updating.  Many communities have evidence of decay.  Instead of more federal/state partnerships on these improvements, we're getting Space Force.

Most people agree that we need improvements to our health care system.  Medical bills and premiums are continuing to rise.  A healthy economy needs healthy workers.  But instead of trying to improve the situation, we're getting minimal coverage insurance plans and Space Force.

This country needs to figure out a way to solve the +20 TRILLION dollar deficit that is continuing to grow. This will be a massive burden to future generations if we do not get a plan in place to reduce this.  Instead, we're getting tax cuts that mainly benefit the wealthy and Space Force.

Sky rocketing higher education costs and student loans are crippling our nations college students.  A nation needs both non-college and college educated workers.  We cannot cripple one segment and expect the nation to lead in innovation.  Instead of helping students to finance higher education and become more productive workers, we're getting Space Force.

We desperately need some common sense gun safety regulations.  Mass shootings are out of control.  Our children are being murdered in their schools.  But instead of leading discussions on how to solve this problem, we're getting thoughts and prayers and rah-rah speeches about Space Force.

Everyone that I know agrees that our immigration system needs reform.  This country also needs a certain level of legal immigration to help the economy thrive and grow.  But all we're getting is chaos at the border and (you know what) Space Force.

The Veterans Administration by most accounts is in need of some overhauls.  Our veterans deserve the best care we can provide for their sacrifices.  Instead of any notable improvements, they're getting a military parade (costing millions) and Space Force.

After the last election, every American should be concerned that their vote is not going to be hijacked by a foreign adversary.  We need discussions on protecting election integrity.  But what we get is a presidential election commission that is disbanded.  But hey, Space Force!

So let's all get excited about what logo to choose for Space Force and while we're at it maybe we can all decide on the secret handshake and the decoder ring.
