      I don't know about that issue.
      Would you explain?
      Actually YOU put Trump in the White House. He wouldn't have gotten 1% of the vote if it wasn't for the widespread spiritual and cultural devastation caused by progressive policies. There's no "this country" left with your immigration policies, your "allies" are worthless and even more suicidal than you are and democracy is a sick joke that I hope nobody ever thinks about repeating when the current order collapses. - Darth_Executor striking a conciliatory note in Civics 101

        No, like any normal human being she doesn't like the idea of the school system contradicting what is taught in the home.
        Unfortunately, the tide of history has turned and now her values are being repudiated while the opposition's values are being taught.

            Get a budget surplus, and work on reducing the national debt.

                Broadly: alter the way the government spends.

                Specifically:
                1) Eliminate all the spending, tax breaks, subsidies, w/e, for private sector things. FWIW, I consider public sector to be common-use/common-need items. Utilities, libraries (arguable), schools, roads, defense all qualify.

                2) Require defense spending to follow suggested budget unless a specific reason is found and approved by majority. Buying equipment we don't need and have no one to use in the name of propping up industry is stupid.
                I'm not here anymore.

                  I'd support a vast increase in NASA's budget, back to say 1960s levels (2-4% of GDP). Mainly because most other people don't see it as a big priority, and there's not a big move to do so in Congress, so if I can magically change something, I'd change that. If not increasing the deficit is a priority, I'd also cut military spending and/or raise taxes.

                    I have no problem with science.

                    I have a problem with the THEORY of evolution being taught as fact.

                      Than you have a problem with science, and do not understand the science of evolution and even what is the definition of theory.

                            You have confirmed my original problem. It is because of this view of science based on ancient mythology is what our education system needs to separated from.

                              Umm, mossrose, common ancestry is one of the most well established theories in science. It has nothing to do with liberalism in any way shape or form -- which is why Christian biologists accept it too. It is taught for the simple reason that it is established science.
