POTUS 2016 Issues

I have three issues that I am concerned about this election:

1) Jobs:  Unemployment for young people under the current administration has remained stubbornly high. Many things have contributed to that but the biggest is the ACA. Underemployment or unemployment has been very slow to improve after the recession. It is hard for young people 18-24 to find fulltime employment. Higher minimum wage will not make things better. The divide between rich and poor has gotten larger over the past eight years.

2) Foreign Policy: The world is not safer today than 8 years ago. We snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in Iraq and abandoned the area before the job was complete. Now we have allowed the Islamic State to take root and cause havoc.
3) The Supreme Court: The next president will get 2 picks to the court. Those picks will affect us a lot longer than a presidential term.
