In the Facebook posting, there is this page asking -- if you have the chance, what question do you ask to the President?
What indeed do you ask, peace on earth, industries and prosperity worldwide, or understanding and appreciation of human knowledge?
Say, how does he define -- money, human, society? But those are not answerable in a few words while the answers are already there and most likely, we are right in it. Money for needy, human dignity, recognition and diversity in the society, how we play a part in the society, etc.
What priority does he have? When you have the chance to help people from absolute devastation, how do you keep the budget and be fair to those who has invested honest efforts in the jobs? When rich gets richer and the contribution money secures positions for many in Washington, how does he think it possible to set a fair standard for people on education, at work, for security?
It is not easy to narrow it down to a specific question.
