Political Goals

We are in the thick of a Presidential campaign.  What do we want?  What should we be looking for?  There are a few simple solutions to the country’s most critical problems.

·        Abide by the constitution - Maintain the balance of power between the three branches and respect states rights. 

·       Reduce the size of the federal government –The Tenth Amendment gives us clear guidelines to reduce spending, balance the budget, eliminate the debt, and reduce government regulations.

·       Secure our borders – This will eventually help with the immigration problem, drug problem, and terrorist threat. 

·       Tax reform – The Fair Tax would be best but a simple flat tax with no deductions would be also work.  We must make the corporate tax competitive to keep American companies in America and also stimulate the economy. 

·       Health care – Repeal Obama Care, promote major medical insurance, health savings plans.  The poor will receive health care, and there is no need for insurance.

·       Keep the United States safe and in a world leadership position with a strong military and fair trade.  This does NOT mean giving money to every foreign power.

·       Welfare reform – We need to get back to God, family, county, and a strong work ethic.  We need to put people to work, not enslave them to welfare.  The present Progressive welfare agenda obviously is not working, and must be changed.

·       Political correctness is hurting and dividing this country. We must stop partisan politics, race, sex, religion, or any other special interest that divides the country, and work for the good of the country.

The economy and jobs are important and the above actions will fix this over time.  I have not mentioned any social or special interest issues.  Many will take care of themselves if we implement the above agenda.  Others need to be handled on a state, local, or personal level.  This is what our Constitution demands.

The objectives described above will sound great to most people, who read this blog, but they won’t be easy to accomplish and implementation won’t be painless.  I will address the problems next week.
