Tonight there will be a "debate" among 12 Democrat candidates for the presidential nomination. Without a doubt, we will hear about climate change, gay rights, impeachment and all sorts of ways in which President Trump is "bad". and the like. Here's a list of questions that are unlikely to come up:
1. By show of hand, do you think that the American economy is doing well. Raise your hand if you think it is doing well.
2. What are your plans for improving the rate of growth of the economy?
3. The USA has signed a trade agreement with Canada and Mexico called the USMCA. It replaces NAFTA. It is currently awaiting a vote in Congress on whether or not to approve USMCA. Raise your hand if you are in favor of approving the USMCA. Raise your hand if you think that the House should hold a vote in the next month on whether or not to approve this treaty.
If you are against the approval of USMCA, please tell us specifically why.
4. Now that ISIS has been defeated, should the USA maintain troops in Syria on a long term basis? If so, why? If not, why not?
5. Should the USA use the imposition of tariffs on Chinese made products as a means to force China to end its theft of American intellectual property? If not, why not?
6. Was it appropriate for Hunter Biden to take a job as a director of Ukraine's largest natural gas company at a time when his father was in charge of American dealings with Ukraine? If not, why not? If so, why?
7. Are you in favor of ending production of natural gas and oil in the USA by means of fracking? If so, how will the USA get the energy to run our economy if the oil and gas from fracking is no longer available? Also, if so, how do you plan to find jobs for the millions of American workers whose jobs depend on the continuation of the use of fracking.
8. For the second year in a row, the prices paid by Americans for prescription drugs have fallen. Those are the only times in the last 40 years when such a decline has happened. Would you continue the Trump policies that have brought this decline about?
These are just a sample. Wouldn't you like to actually know the answers to these questions?
