I am quite interested to hear what President Trump has to say this evening. Most presidents rarely get much of their State of the Union policy proposals through, and we can guess what Trump will be calling for, it should be interesting to hear what he was to say.📣 I like how Trump has made it a priority to downsize government, although admittedly much of his talk on scaling back government has been more rhetoric then policy.🌎 I want to see a society where there are fewer, simpler laws and less government inference in every day life.

One thing I hope he talks about is climate change and the need to invest in renewable energy. Granted, this hasn’t been a priority in his first year, but I am still hopeful he can change his mind. ⚡Renewable energy has the ability to spur new industries, to help out areas previously left behind by economic growth. Coal may have been Applachia’s base industry, but now renewables like wind, tourism, and new forms of value added agriculture are it’s future.🏔 The old America was about making basic materials, the new America is about making experiences.

I hope the president also puts a priority on immigration and embracing diverse groups of new Americans.👬 We should value hard-work, we should be encouraging people to move to our country who have the dedication and wiliness to fill positions that Americans don’t want. We need to fix situation that DREAMERS are in, and open our borders to people who share our values.

Criminal justice is another issue he should address. I hope the president calls for an expanded death penalty, that is fast and effective. We are overcrowding our prisons🔫 and releasing too many ex-felons to the street, rather using a fast, humane way of executing criminals after being found guilty of felony.💉 We need to get people off the street that are panhandling and harassing people as they pass on by doing their business.👺 Rather then focusing on gun control, we need to focus on killing off criminal class that are destroying our society.

The president should also address healthcare. 🏥The short-comings of the Affordable Care Act are widely covered in the media, but he should address how we will provide affordable healthcare to all Americans. Maybe he will put forward a Single Payere the government will help subsidize healthcare to make sure it is affordable for all Americans.

Making college more affordable should also be a priority the president, and not just throwing more money at the problem.🍎 We should find ways to help colleges economize, slim down costs, make tuition more in line with the amount of aid that is currently available. New York’s Tuition-Free is a good idea previously adopted by Rhode Island and Tennessee, but it doesn’t do enough to constrain costs. 📚

There is much that the president can say in his address for our country. I look forward to seeing what he has to say.
