Press: Pay off our debt first

In Sunday's editorial, the Coeur d'Alene Press comments:

President-elect Donald Trump has promised to build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico, dismantle Obamacare and boot NAFTA from New York to South America.

Seeing as how he won and will be fortified by Republican majorities in both chambers of Congress, there seems little to keep him from his objectives.

Humbly, though, we would ask that another to-do be added to the presidential priority list. It’s a rather big one, as it involves 83 million young adults — the millennials; the people who will one day be sitting where Mr. Trump and every member of Congress now sits.

We need to give them a fighting chance to run a strong America.

We need to clean up our financial act. More here.

Question: What do you think Trump's highest priority should be?
