Indicate which proposals you support (if any) for balancing the federal budget.

In order to balance the budget,

I believe we can find savings in the Defense budget, but I do not support President Obama's proposal to cut $1T from Defense.
I support block granting Medicaid to the states.
We need to reduce Medicare spending by driving down the cost of healthcare through introducing market principals such as promoting personal responsibility with HSAs, tort reform, forcing insurance companies to compete across state lines and by allowing small businesses to band together to purchase insurance.

I believe we need true campaign finance reform that includes more transparency. We should require more frequent online reporting. We should eliminate 527s and force full disclosure so the voters know who is paying for political advertisements.

The main thing that will get the economy moving is to provide certainty. Larry Kissell and President Obama's failed policies are hurting job creation because people who have money to invest are not doing so because of the uncertainty about the tax scheme, the regulatory scheme, the cost of energy and the cost of healthcare.

We have got to secure the border and stop the flow of illegal immigrants. Then we need to reform the legal immigration system so it is easier to come here legally than illegally. We need to reform our visa system so that we issue visas based on employer needs, not based on a lottery. We also need to end "birth right citizenship." Once we acheive these reforms, then we can consider what to do with illegal immigrants who are already here. They should never have a path to citizenship, but we need to deal with them compassionately and humanely.

The last thing anyone wants is to have to use military force in Iran. However, President Obama's policy is a failure. The best way to ensure that military force is not used is to have Iran believe we will use it. By taking that option off the table, by creating doubt about our support for Israel and by showing weakness in dealing with bad actors around the globe, President Obama has made the world a more dangerous place.

First, we must ensure the stability of Social Security and not change anything for anyone who is already retired or near retirement age. Larry Kissell's policy on Social Security is to let it go bankrupt so everyone loses their benefits. I believe we need to reform the system for those my age and younger so we can save Social Security.

Taxes

Indicate what federal tax levels (#1-6) you support for the following general categories. Select one number per category; you can use a number more than once.

f, g h: We need tax reform that broadens and flattens tax rates and eliminates many of the loop holes.

First, we need to get the economy moving by eliminating burdensome regulations, reforming the tax code, establishing an "all of the above" energy policy and replacing ObamaCare with market reforms in health care. Second, we need to dramatically reduce spending, balance the budget and start paying down the national debt. Finallly, we need real immigration reform. We need to close the borders first and foremost, end "birth right citizenship," and then we can reform the legal immigration system so we can track immigrants, verify citizenship for employment, and then we can have a worker program that meets our workforce needs.
