A recent Fox Poll is quite revealing, in fact, it kind of explains why the US is so divided, on a number of key issues. All but the Economy align pretty much along the political divide. The Economy shows a weak agreement within the two political classes. The bottom-line is, there is insufficient agreement within the country to provide a unified position, to demand more attention, by the Government, to rectify any given concern, other than the economy.
Place yourself into the shoes of your friendly Government. Why would you be compelled to care about any issue, including the economy (inflation, for example), when the people send you such week signals? You most likely would go back to business as usual, and wait for a stronger signal from the people, before getting off the couch, so to speak.
All kidding aside, I would love to read your comments, on the issues listed in the survey table above.
My take on the importance of issues is explained in a broader context in my essay at this link:
