  • "We need to start unwinding the war on drugs, beginning with marijuana. Drug laws don't prevent anyone who wants pot from getting it, but they do make it possible for the most vicious and anti-social among us to earn a very good living. Drug laws undermine the social fabric of our inner cities, and provide the funding for virtually all gangs, just as they did during prohibition. What you put in your body is your own business, and the consequences are your own responsibility." (votesmart.org)
  • "Cut spending. Our government costs 1/3 more of our GDP now than it did when Bill Clinton left office. As the burden of government on our economy grows heavier and heavier, economic growth is weaker and weaker. The current recovery (convalescence would be a better word) is weaker than the last, which in turn was weaker than the one before." (votesmart.org)

  • "the "Affordable Care Act", which has made health care unaffordable, itself. The solution to a problem created by the government is not more government, it is more freedom. We need to start getting government out of the healthcare business. The much publicized problems with healthcare.gov are only the tip of the iceberg. We don't need government telling us what coverage we need, what doctors we can see, and what medications we can take for which conditions." (votesmart.org)
