The unemployment rate is around 5% - way down from 10% in 2009, during the financial crisis. But many people haven't seen their wages increase and there's a big gap between Americans at the top and the bottom of the income ladder. These things have contributed to a sense of economic unease for many people.]]> 2016-10-28 18:02:10 UTC https://padlet.com/dixon/e7it25vqm7jf/wish/133973944 dixon https://padlet.com/dixon/e7it25vqm7jf/wish/133974791 *He says he'll use his business expertise to create more jobs and get America's economy going

But now the concern is not just Al Qaeda, the terrorist group that attacked the U.S. on Sept. 11, 2001, but also the Islamic State (ISIS). There have been two attacks in the U.S. by American Muslims who were inspired by ISIS - in San Bernardino, California, and Orlando, Florida.]]> 2016-10-28 18:07:00 UTC https://padlet.com/dixon/e7it25vqm7jf/wish/133975646 dixon https://padlet.com/dixon/e7it25vqm7jf/wish/133976726 *To defeat ISIS, he says he'll use America's full military might.

The question is how to fix it. The focus of the controversy in recent years has been the 11 million immigrants living in the U.S. illegally. In 2013, the U.S. Senate passed a major immigration reform bill, but the House of Representatives refused to vote on it.

The U.S. functions as a kind of global diplomat, trying to work out problems among nations in all parts of the world, and sometimes as the global police, sending in troops. The U.S. role in the world has become controversial, with some Americans thinking the U.S. should focus more on problems at home.]]> 2016-10-28 18:18:13 UTC https://padlet.com/dixon/e7it25vqm7jf/wish/133979127 dixon https://padlet.com/dixon/e7it25vqm7jf/wish/133980019 *He believes the U.S. should force its allies to depend less on U.S. military might and to pay their fair share of the cost of keeping the world safe.
