| No | In order to balance the budget, do you support reducing defense spending? | ||
| We have enough other areas that can and should be cut without risking national security by cutting the military. I see no reason in cutting the military first and then maybe cutting something. | |||
| Yes | Do you support the regulation of indirect campaign contributions from corporations and unions? | ||
| No | Do you support federal spending as a means of promoting economic growth? | ||
| Yes | Do you support lowering corporate taxes as a means of promoting economic growth? | ||
| I have a complete tax plan that takes care of this matter. | |||

| Yes | Do you support increased American intervention in Middle Eastern conflicts beyond air support? | ||

| Cut un-needed regulations that only serve to interfere with the ability to more the USA forward. In other words stop businesses from expanding and doing more here in the USA. When it takes billions of dollars and 2-3 years for a company to bring a product to market by making it in the USA, we have a problem here. Especially when that same business can go somewhere like China to have it made and the product gets to market for a fraction of the cost and in 6 months. I have others, however due to the word limit I cannot. |
