In order to balance the budget,

medicare spending should be reduced by allowing more of a free market approach to health care expenditures.

Spending

Those receiving welfare should be turned into workers. Food stamps should be handled by a private contractor audited regularly to reduce the massive fraud not inherent in the program as evidenced by a doubling of cost to around fifteen billion dollars.

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.

Eliminate the income tax and replace it with a national sales tax.

There should be no regulation of any campaign contributions. It is free speech. Only disclosure in a certain defined way.

I support providing tax incentives to business for the purpose of job creation only as a way to further reduce taxes. Spending on infrastructure projects only if the project and its cost is clearly defined and disclosed to the public which in general approves the project.

The federal government should completely eliminate its role in education, leaving the responsibility completely to the states.

No one knows whether human activity contributes to climate change or not as the information on which this judgement was based was submitted by policy makers and scientists pressured to one point of view. Even if human activity contributed to it it is foolish to destroy the world's economy to reduce the temperature 1-2 %. A better solution--if there is a problem--is to focus the world's OBJECTIVE scientists on using technology to solve the problem over time. With a collapsed world economy this would not be an option.

Military leaders in the theaters should decide when and how many to withdraw. A residual force should remain to make certain that the investment in the treasure of Americans and the blood of America's finest are not wasted by a President's political calculation

Health care in America is expensive because the consumer does not purchase the product. In the case of employers the insurance company purchases; in the case of the medicare the government purchases. Changing this involves a free market approach such as health savings account, purchasing insurance accross state lines and allowing the self employed the same tax situation as large employers and other as yet not discovered means of creating competion.

The first step before any other should be to secure to border. AFTER THAT a bio metric ID should be used to identify all illegals within two years. Those without an ID at that time or those who are criminals or diseased should be immediately deported. Those with an ID should be allowed to remain and receive government services without becoming citizens. State and local police could enforce. After a period of time when they have learned the language and become assimilated their status could be revisited.

This is the best solution to Social Security's funding problem.

Eliminating Obamacare immediately and shrinking the size of government by eliminating departments, reducing govenment workers and streamling systems. Eliminating the Iranian nuclear threat and implementing the use of a developed profile of a terrorist to better protect Americans at home. Over time engendering a business mindset in our federal employees in doing their work while treating each citizen as a customer of the government.
