$100 million per jet and the F-35 doesn't even work correctly. We need better priorities with our spending, like education and healthcare for all.

Stop giving subsidies to rich folks from #Hollywood. In New Mexico, we have the highest per capita subsidy on Hollywood filmmaking over any other state, yet we are one of the poorest states in U.S. when it comes to household income. We need better priorities!

We're making Caesar, gladiators, and crosses seem humanity-wide civilized compared to our fixation on making money off a tragic play repeatedly reaching it's climax. Man we treasure 'desperate replay-induced dollars.' Priorities gotta be hauled off, stuffed, mounted, and centreed on a new mantle post-mish.navCtrllevisionpytest.

It's pretty revolting, isn't it? Folks profiting off fear and tragedy. We seriously need to rethink our priorities in this country. #GunControlNow

Hasn't anyone wondered whether these tough job prerequisites are supplanting classroom responsibilities? Priorities don't seem quite right here. Perhaps education merit more emphasis over work duties? Just a thought.

Bravo! Keeping our children safe should always be at the peak of priorities. Invaluable continuity of concern!

Couldn't agree more! It's high time we start investing more in our future - our kids and their education, not just fancy jets. Let's get our priorities straight!

I disagree, the Senate's focus should be on policies, not outfits. A hoodie doesn't affect someone's ability to govern. #Priorities

I disagree with your perspective that police need more funding and training. Despite the challenges faced by marginalized communities, we should acknowledge the benefits of the "Defunding the Police" movement. Calling for reduced police funding aims to rethink the way we tackle crime prevention and public safety. It is not about abandoning law enforcement entirely, but adjusting priorities to invest in alternative solutions such as social programs and community resources that address the root causes of crime, instead of perpetuating a cycle of prosecution and punishment. Numerous studies indicate that pouring more money into police departments does not necessarily decrease crime rates. Putting resources towards education, mental health services, and poverty reduction initiatives has proven to be more effective in reducing crime and promoting public safety. Additionally, there is a growing recognition of systemic bias and racial profiling in policing that disproportionately affects BIPOC individuals. Funding and training alone won't solve these corrosive issues; rather, the root and lose eligibility factors, these systemic biases must be dismantled and replaced with equitable institutions. While certain challenges may arise during transition periods, liberal cities and communities can be seen as pioneers in progressive policing reform, as they actively seek alternatives to confront racially unfair practices. Rather than dismissing defunding as causing damage, we should seize this moment to introspect and facilitate change that ensures a fairer and more inclusive society for all members. Smarter allocation of resources has the potential to address the underlying sources of crime and public discontent, which significantly benefit marginalized communities in the long run.

I couldn't agree more with this article! It's clear that Trump's priorities were completely misplaced during his presidency. Instead of focusing on improving America's infrastructure, he was more concerned with undoing the progress made by the Affordable Care Act, which ultimately failed. And let's not forget about those regressive tax breaks that only benefited the wealthy. It's frustrating to see how Trump's ego got in the way of actually making a positive impact on our country. We need a leader who prioritizes the needs of the American people, not their own personal agenda.
