Decisions, decisions

A recent poll after the mid-term elections, indicate most GOP probes and policy plans are not ranked as voter priorities. The GOP’s agenda isn’t particularly popular with Americans. The poll indicate Congress should not waste time investigating Hunter Biden.

In addition, there is meager interest among electorates, to make cuts to Medicare and Social Security in exchange for raising the federal debt limit.

Most Americans want Congress to address fentanyl trafficking into the United States as their top priority. Next is securing our border with Mexico.

Further, the survey suggests lawmakers should be responsive to public sentiment focusing on immigration. This is followed by the infant formula shortage that happened earlier this year.

I find it interesting that less than 3 in 10 voters, said Congress should focus on a presidential impeachment investigation, as sought by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, or the first son’s politically uncomfortable business dealings. That means 7 out of 10 feel Congress has better things to do.

Most voters said lawmakers should not cut U.S. support for Ukraine as it fights Russian aggression. House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy has threatened banning abortion nationwide at 15 weeks as sought by Senate Republican Lindsey Graham, in addition to cutting funding to Ukraine.

One must wonder how the GOP will deal with China. When pressed for specific details, the GOP remains silent. My guess is that at some point the GOP will have to formulate a plan on just how they will make American great again, like their beloved failed and twice impeached leader Donald Trump. Afterall, he promised a lot when he was running for office but delivered on very few of his promises.

My question to the GOP is, should they spend precious months investigating alleged Biden family corruption, or address the issues voters care most about?
