Civil Rights policy is tricky to manage. Do too much and you're accused of infringing on states' rights. Do too little and your persecuted for not protecting your citizens. 
Each generation in almost every country in the world experiences the devastation of armed conflict. The lucky countries avert total devastation because they develop some key characteristics; a strong economy, perceived social equalities, strong alliances, clear separation between the military and police, perceived growth, and political capital among other nations. The unlucky nations most often face defeat because they lack the majority or all of these characteristics. 
Economic policy is largely a balancing act. Top down the administration hopes laws and regulations are appropriate for the current environment. Bottom up the worker hopes the system is stable to provide compoundable work. 
Education is one of the foundations great societies are built upon. The educated tend to organize and direct society in paths towards growth.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) the U.S. ranks #2 in total primary energy production and ranks #1 in energy consumption! Like it or not ladies and gentlemen that is the cost of being a society at the top. 
We need polls on this subject! You don't have to be a member to create a poll. You may submit one anonymously. An administrator will review and publish acceptable polls. EpikVote will publish it on our social media channels. 
Ok, Mr. President here is your situation. From an administrative perspective you have three huge, no pun intended, problems. 
A characteristic found in successful societies is the clear separation between the military and police forces! On paper it sounds good and looks good. In real life it's not so simple. Many threats the United States faces inside its borders are from small organizations or teams. However those teams have access to money that often allows them to purchase military grade equipment from black markets.
Economists and policy makers will go 9 rounds in a boxing ring before they cede their positions on the value and viability of social security. Economists crunch numbers and see a unsustainable program. Policy makers want their President re-elected or the candidate elected and won't tell the largest voting segment in the U.S. (seniors) that their entitlements are going away. 
One of the more popular topics on EpikVote is taxes! It's a hot topic for many reasons. Who in their right mind wants to hand over the little cash you worked for to the IRS? Maybe some do because there is value in the services the government provides, e.g. national security, infrastructure, international trade policy, and much more.
