Things that make no sense to me:
1. Cuts in public sector jobs as demanded by GOP and GOP complaining about high unemployment rate.
2. Lowering retirement age in Europe when people are living longer healthier lives.
3. Fewer teachers when we want to improve education.
4. Fewer cops when we want to reduce crime.
5. Fewer talented immigrants allowed into US when they enhance our country . Quotas should be based on education rather than nationality; by all means let the better educated ones in.
6. Illegal immigrantes taking jobs from their own fellow legal immigrants , yet they support them. While quite selfless, it still seems illogical.
7. State and local employees with better union rights than federal employees. Except for teachers, police and fire, it makes no sense to have state and local employees have more collective bargaining rights than federal workers.
8. Why can't government issue anyone who wants one a free picture ID.
9. Euro without a fiscal union.
10. China without democracy; how long will that last.
11. Islamic separation of state and religion.
12. Hunger in midst of plenty.
13. Lack of universal health care.
14. Fear of nuclear power. How many have died? Very few, none at Fukushima.
15. Terrorist treated as criminals rather than war enemies. Why aren't they enemy combatants?
16. Gold as a valuable medium of exchange. Why is it so valuable?
17. Why not spend for infrastructure ? The companies and workers are private sector not government.
18. Germans who retire at 67 , bailing out Greeks who get to retire at 60.
19. Media that can't separate lies from facts. Being balanced is no excuse for not identifying lies and half-truths.
20. Democrats who want more jobs but are anti-business.
21. Asking banks to make more loans and then criticizing banks for making more loans.
23. US Open golf where they make the course much tougher for the tournament, but reduce par to 70 from 72 or 71.
