Issues Facing America Today

This election is monumental for shaping the future of our nation. When I win, I will be faced with many important and pressing issues. As your president, I will work hard to solve them. I believe that the five most important issues facing our country today is immigration, gun control, terrorism, education, and health care. I believe the most important issue in America today is terrorism. America faces a multitude of detrimental threats from terrorist groups all over the world, including the middle east. The middle east is home to some of the most threatening and dangerous groups. Because of this, there is a debate as to how we should fight these groups.

I think it is unrealistic, at this point, for the government to provide free college. The cost would just add onto the trillions we already have in debt. By expanding financial aid it will help with limiting the amount of debt college graduates have, which in turn will help our
