#3  The Shield Act does not cost much money and we need to be serious about securing our critical infrastructure as our Logistics and much more is tied to it.

We are complacent and do not even shield critical power stations from EMP or even hacking attacks for that matter. It is the most pressing issue aside from the debt. And it will hit home one day if we keep ignoring it. Not all sunspots can be controlled away from this dear planet.
