The time is now to restore the integrity, fiscal
responsibility, and military might of the United States of America.
1.
The size of the federal government must be drastically reduced.
President Obama has proven it is too big as demonstrated by the fact that he has
to learn about what’s going on in his own administration by reading the morning
paper. The size of the federal government is unmanageable no matter who is
president. Responsibilities currently held by federal departments and agencies
such as the Department of Education, the Department of Energy, and the EPA
should be shifted to the states. The federal involvement in these and other
department and agencies should be limited to arbitrating issues between states.
Federal taxes should be reduced accordingly allowing states to increase taxes to
cover their new responsibilities. Lowering federal taxes and getting federal
government out of the way of “we the people” will kick start the economy.
2.
Whenever possible states should be responsible for the
administration and funding of social programs. Again, federal taxes should be
reduced accordingly allowing states to increase taxes to cover their new
responsibilities.
3.
Baseline Budgeting should be eliminated. All federal spending
should be part of the budget and a balance budget amendment should be added to
the constitution.
4.
We should increase the size and strength of the US military.
“Peace through Strength” should once again be our goal. Government investments
in “shovel-ready jobs” should be geared toward ensuring an overwhelming
technologically-advanced military. Federal job training programs should be
coordinated through the branches of our military. Federal assistance for
college should be contingent on military service.
5.
Our whole foreign policy should be “reset”. Foreign aid to
nations that openly counter American interests should be reevaluated. Our level
of involvement with the U.N. should also be reevaluated. Relationships with
allies like Israel and Eastern Europe should be rebuilt starting with exporting
ballistic missile defense systems to these countries. The United States of
America should once again be an ally’s best friend and an enemy’s worst
nightmare.
6.
I believe Iran will have a nuclear weapon by the end of the year.
We should have a plan to deploy ballistic missile defense systems to region.
7.
Restrictions on drilling for oil on public lands should be
lifted. Waivers of onerous fracking regulations natural gas exports should be
granted. Approval for building the Keystone pipeline should be granted
immediately. We must not be in a position to allow our reliance on oil from
the Middle East to limit our options in that and other regions of the world.
8.
A bill instituting a fair or flat tax system should be prepared.
The new tax system should eliminate all loopholes used by the rich and
corporations to avoid paying taxes.
9.
Obamacare should be repealed and replaced. By all accounts
Obamacare is a lemon. And just like a car you buy that is a lemon, it can be
fixed if you dump enough money into it. Obamacare is not worth the trillions
it’s going to cost to fix it. Congress should devise a new healthcare plan that
is patient-centered and will allow every American access to the best, most
affordable care in the world.
10.
A new International Terrorism Taskforce should be created, a la
Interpol, with the sole charter of fighting international terrorism.
