Seems every time Americans elect a Democratic president, that president has to deal with the mess left over from the Republican president that came before them.

And I have a REALLY had time discerning which of the messes is the most serious.

Surely, the attack on America led by TFG can be considered the most serious. But Congress and the DOJ are the ones dealing with that (which is as it should be).

FTR: I was born when LBJ was president.

I can praise each of the Democratic presidents since then for some things, and I have some criticisms for them when it comes to other things.

I used to work at a graduate school where a PhD in Decision Science was offered. Sometimes, the way to get to a decision is to rank the considerations that are in play, and act accordingly. I have a hard time ranking the considerations (social justice, economics, foreign relations, climate change,...).

I'd have an easier time picking a "best" if I could sort this stuff out in my own head.
