Hey politicians, you seem to be having a tough time getting the message up there in Washington, so to make it easy, here’s a list of 5 commonsense steps you could immediately take to get America back on the right track.

1. Balance the budget
You tax us our whole lives. Then you tax us when we die. And now you’re effectively taxing Americans who aren’t even born yet. Could anything be more immoral than enslaving future generations to debt that they didn’t create?

2. Achieve energy independence
We’re sitting on more oil and natural gas than we know what to do with, but instead of using it, you’re letting radical environmentalists force America to continue sending money to countries that hate us.

3. Secure the border
How is a country even a country if it doesn’t have a border? Quit picking and choosing which laws you like and enforce them all, including immigration.

4. Repeal ObamaCare
It takes an estimated 80 million man-hours per year just to comply with this monstrosity, and you wonder why the economy isn’t growing?

5. Implement school choice
The U.S. spends more per student than any other country in the world, but still ranks at or below the international average in math and science. Education is the ultimate equalizer, but we’ve got kids who are condemned to receive a poor education just because of their zip code. This is the real civil rights issue of our time. Every parent deserves a choice and every child deserves a chance.
