What are your top (3) items of importance for the next POTUS to tackle?

Here are mine:

1. Overhaul or reorganize the Department of Veterans Affairs (specifically healthcare for veterans) -use some of the ideas that the Dream Team here on RallyPoint is recommending Sgt Aaron Kennedy, MS, CPT (Join to see), and LTC John Shaw. Also, hire Kim Bolen RN CCM ACM to be the head of Patient Advocacy for all veterans through the new VA

2. Appeal Obamacare and overhaul America's healthcare from top to bottom including the insurance companies.

3. Set into motion a Strategic Military Modernization Program for all the military service branches.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs here are some of the things I picked (not necessarily in order of precedence).
1. Stop the Iran Nuclear agreement.
2. Repeal Obamacare
3. Secure the border
4. Stop giving money to other countries that do nothing for us.
5. Invest in rebuilding our infrastructure.
6. Fix the welfare state that we have become.
7. Get rid of the illegal aliens.
I really wouldn't mind the VA getting rolled into DoD. It would be some work at first but I think they might have a better chance at fixing that monstrous money pit as it is now.

1. Development of alternative energy sources needs to be a priority. Our dependence on oil weakens the U.S. by constraining our foreign policy. This will also help address the issue of climate change.

2. Security - the biggest threat to the U.S. is a nuclear 9/11 posed by terrorist gaining or developing nuclear capabilities

3. Moderate the coming recession.

Much of Climate change we have no control over. Pollution is a big problem but mixing the two is largely politics.
