Hello, Mr. Steyer. I've been

Hello, Mr. Steyer. I've been a Paul Krugman fan for years, and hope that you have similar views on economics and business. To add one thing to the above questions and answers, I'd like to see a much stronger war on meth trafficking, such as involving the Mexican govt and US military in destroying meth producers and traffickers. It's caused a lot of ruined lives, a lot of petty crime and some violent crime in my state and many other states, and adds greatly to the corruption within Mexico. I support relaxing rather than tightening the borders with Mexico and Canada, doing away with Trump's border nonsense, and enlisting Mexican help with a real war on drugs. I'd happily support "foreign aid" to fight corruption in Mexico, and happily support the US military bombing the crap out of drug traffickers wherever they are found. I support this rather than the wimpy law enforcement route to ending drug trafficking.

We can't fix a democratic

We can't fix a democratic Government since we are not a Democratic Government we are a Republic Government with Democratic values. Unless you haven't recited the pledge of allegiance lately it still states "to the republic for which it stands" which is a Government of the people for the people by the people. So as we are still a Republic should we still value the winner of the presidency from the electoral college vote or the popular vote? Which brings me to my next question if it's now the popular vote then was the electoral college vote wrong since John Adams?
