Thing such as energy/environmental security, so having such technologies that keep us safe from catastrophes and reducing fossil fuels and gas emissions from ruining our air quality.

How should student debt be dealt with?
I think college should be free or greatly reduced. That would limit or terminate the thousands and thousands of dollars of student debt. Students go to college to become successful in life. College is already hard and stressful enough. Being a crazy amount of money in debt is just overkill.

What are some solutions to fixing unemployment?
I think there are many ways to fix unemployment. Some of those many ways would be; lowering the standards of the requirements, and offering jobs with lower pay. By lowering the requirement standards of some jobs people who don't meet the requirements of other high requirement jobs could apply for the low requirements jobs. By offering jobs with lower pay people who are unemployed and make zero money can at least get some money.

- Are higher or lower taxes good?
Their could be a big debate about this with all the different classes of people there are. People that live on the poverty line, in the middle or those wealthy ones. A lot of Tax money goes towards to what the government wants to provide the community with. Things such as building new roads, making more community schools/buildings, etc. But of course this needs a lot of money to start a project and finish it. So if the tax rate went up then the community around could get better and better by the years. But with such diverse financial standards, some people cant even afford to give up the money they have when tax rates are low. So with having a median where people with more income could pay more towards the community and those that are financially unstable, can pay their debts but not the amount of those who make triple the money they do.
