Dear President Biden...

Dear President Biden,

I hope that you, your family, and your administration are doing well.

During your State of the Union address tonight, I was wondering if you could please send your well wishes to major world leaders, whether or not they consider themselves allies of the United States, in order to build good will with them. If you could just say that you're thinking of them, you hope they're healthy, happy, and prosperous, and you've been reading or watching some of their speeches recently, and you learned something from them, I think that could go a long way toward building more good will toward the U.S. from the rest of the world. All while standing firm in your own resolve to defend U.S. sovereignty, of course.

We're currently in a perilous time with the war in Ukraine, and with China and other countries feeling emboldened, it is crucial that we don't stumble into World War III. And showing some appreciation for political leaders like Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong Un, and Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei can go a long way. Let's be honest, all four of these leaders--despite their antagonistic posture toward the U.S.--are fundamentally rational and normal enough, and they have good qualities too. This is highly preferable to dealing with someone who's completely impossible to deal with, so we shouldn't take it for granted.

I also hope that you can help bring an end to partisan divides in Congress once and for all. Right now, it appears that most votes are split along party lines, rather than having each senator and representative vote their conscience and develop more of their own legislation. Can you help set things up so that each senator and representative can truly vote their conscience?

I also was wondering if you could please name a cure for aging as a good long-term solution to the national debt. If people could live youthful, healthy lives into their 70s, 80s, and beyond, then there would be less need for Medicare or Social Security, at least at younger ages.

Another thought on the debt ceiling drama right now is that you could impose a high value added tax, which is a form of consumption tax, which ultimately could replace the income tax if you were interested.

Thank you.
