Mr. Smith spoke of the many issues with agencies such as USAID. He also commented on the need to reform Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and "things like this." What are the solutions to these situations?

Fully scored plan right here (from a past Daly Express guest):

But if the president and congress are dead set against touching entitlement spending (even as it implodes), nothing's going to happen. The supposedly "fiscally responsible" Republican party holds every branch of government right now, and all they're doing is this rinky dink stuff.

Thank you for the link Mr. Daly. The article has a lot of information to process. Many of our elected officials (regardless of party affiliation) have no interest in the difficult chore of governing responsibly to address these issues. It is so much easier for them to grandstand on tv and social media so they can be re-elected over and over again.

Any person with a reasonable solution to this area would never get elected to office.

I completely agree with you. Politicians are supposed to be problem solvers. That requires those individuals to have integrity and to do the hard work necessary to initiate positive results. There might be a few individuals elected to the House and the Senate who want to accomplish the difficult tasks, however it appears that most of them would rather abdicate their responsibilities to bureaucratic agencies with little to no oversight of these agencies. Because it is Trump who is bringing this to attention Schumer, Waters and others with the assistance of the media are demonstrating manufactured hysterical outrage to deflect from their incompetence.
