Here are your answers compared to this voter’s answers.
Social › LGBT Adoption Rights
BS>BS Personal answerOn a personal level I have friends that are the most amazing same-sex parents while simultanesously I have straight friends who would be awful adopted parents. Religious groups should not be forced to go against their religious beliefs and since there are many options open to individuals, this should limit this issue. Families should be required to show capabilities to care for families with a close consideration from using children as props to score political and social changes. The world needs many more adoptive parents. I dont think this issue has a right or wrong answer but I do find it interesting that this does not come up with protected groups as much. I have not heard CAIR weight in with an official opinion on this situation. |
Social › Abortion
BS>BS Personal answerThis should be the only choice: Pro life. Yes to morning after pill and first 30 days. Consideration for Rape and incest to 90 days. Consideration for life of the mother possibly later. Encourage adoption and private funding. Criminalize abortion after the point a child can be viable outside of the womb. |
Social › Gay Marriage
BS>BS Personal answerThe original social definition of marriage was a man and worman who lived together and procreated. Legally, married people are entitled to some rights. Religiously, marriage has been defined as a union of a man and a worman. For years this was bashed as archaic and silly. Recently a fight has ensued for same sex to have the same benefits, but the definition is changed. I fully endorse the legal rights (medical, wills, taxes, etc) but the definition, when diluted, changes its meening. Same sex family model might be verbally more accurate. |
the Economy › Equal Pay
BS>BS Personal answerNo, there are too many other variables such as education, experience, and tenure that determine a fair salary |
Domestic Policy › Gun Control
BS>BS Personal answerNo |
Crime › Police Body Cameras
BS>BS Personal answerYes, this will protect the safety and rights of police officers and citizens |
Healthcare › Drug Price Regulation
BS>BS Personal answerIt feels like the right thing to say is yes, but you end up with less life saving drugs in the future. Often the initial drugs pave the way for wide scale use later. The government should allow terminal patients to try alternative treatment. From a purely progressive standpoint, we are better off with the status quo, but from a equity stand point people will declare that this is not fair. The idea is that it might be better for everyone to be equally poor off than to have some poor off and some better. |
Healthcare › Pre-Existing Conditions
BS>BS Personal answerThis is one of the few instances where collective support can make our society better. Again a 3rd party disinterested group should receive money from existing healthcare companies. Healthcare companies should not be only able to choose "Healthy" candidates and get huge profits but we also have to heavily subsidize care for others. We need more transparancy in actual medical care in order to be better informed. |
Social › Gun Buyback
BS>BS Personal answer...Shall not be infringed is as similar to the stance as free speech. As we have seen in the last 2-3 years, Police can be defunded giving way to mobs, and the government can exert way too much control on its population. Guns are not there for target practice and yes the populance can fight a conventional war (see the Ukraine). |
Social › Gender Identity
BS>BS Personal answerAll people should be treated equally. No special classes or consideration for anyone. |
Social › Gender Transition
BS>BS Personal answerNo, children should not be allowed to make irreversible life decisions |
Healthcare › Mental Health
BS>BS Personal answerGovernment is rarely the answer. We continue to make zombies out of kids and adults with anti-depressant drugs that the government favors. More work needs to be done. |
Social › Religious Freedom Act
BS>BS Personal answerThe targeting of a business to promote a social or political goal is infringing on anothers rights. If there are no other options available (thinking doctor being forced to perform a sex reassignment surgery on a child). Would be a case for discussion. Ironically, these suits are not brought against other protected groups Jewish person seeking a passover order from a Muslim Bakery, or a Muslim business providing Transgender reassignment surgery. |
Social › Transgender Athletes
BS>BS Personal answerNo, athletes should compete based on the biological sex that is listed on their birth certificate |
Immigration › Muslim Immigrant Ban
BS>BS Personal answerThis question is misleading. We should ban immigrants that we cannot vet. This comment is conflated with Muslim nations only because their checks are not reliable and makes for a good political statement. |
Education › Student Loan Forgiveness
BS>BS Personal answerWhy does government give the american people the rope in which to hang themselves. It is a shell game. Pay for 40-50 years of our lives in taxes versus 10-15 years in student loans is not a savings. What about those that did not get student loans? Why are college education opportunities getting so expensive. |
Social › Planned Parenthood Funding
BS>BS Personal answerNo, and the government should not give funds to any organizations that perform abortions |
the Economy › Minimum Wage
BS>BS Personal answerNo, most minimum wage jobs are meant to develop experience, not support a family |
Domestic Policy › Armed Teachers
BS>BS Personal answerAny teacher that is willing to, attends extensive training, displays reasonable ability should be allowed to carry. |
the Environment › Climate Change
BS>BS Personal answerThe government should not hurt its citizen if other countries citizens are not being targeted. Climate change is an opinion at this point. We have not experienced the hocky stick that Al Gore promised. We have celebrities and presidents buying oceanfront property. The earth goes through cycles long before the industrial revolution. Too much is at stake to base changing society for something that cannot be definitively proven. |
the Economy › Paid Sick Leave
BS>BS Personal answerIf this type of paid leave is expected, perhaps it can be treated like weekly deduction into an account that a person uses. The problem is that individuals want FREE time off and a company must take money from someone somewhere in order to pay for this. |
Domestic Policy › Drug Policy
BS>BS Personal answerPerhaps pot and those with minor crimes related. No to almost anything else unless proscribed by a medical doctor. Do focus on prevention and rehab. Enforce the laws we already have. |
Foreign Policy › Iran
BS>BS Personal answerExhaust diplomatic options. Excercies sanctions. Support Isreali action (since they are the target of most threats), and avoide action that destabilizes the region. |
the Economy › Taxes
BS>BS Personal answerStop punishing producers. It is not the rich that pay the bulk of taxes, nor due they have as much wealth as claimed. It is the middle class that pays the taxes and all taxes on the rich end up soaking the middle and lower class while the rich receive favorable consideration from the government. |
Elections › Mental competency testing
BS>BS Personal answerYes, and politicians of any age should be required to pass a mental competency test |
Foreign Policy › Mandatory Military Service
BS>BS Personal answerRequire obligated service of some kind. Once they see the pitfall of government they will demand government out of your life. Require a year of service for every year of reduced school. |
Social › Racial Sensitivity Training
BS>BS Personal answerNo, just ensure there are clear guidelines, action, and accountability for acts of discrimination |
Elections › Foreign Lobbying
BS>BS Personal answerNo |
Education › Critical Race Theory in K-12 Education
BS>BS Personal answerThis is a totally biased question. First is, what is critical race theory and what is its purpose. If we teach history, then we are teaching about Slavery, Segregation, the destruction of the black family with broken homes. Telling people of another skin color it is their fault and that they somehow should be punished for this implied benefit is wrong. Raise up the greatness of everyone, not tear down those around us. |
Immigration › Immigration
BS>BS Personal answerNo, they must formally apply like every other new citizen |
Education › Student Loans
BS>BS Personal answerAre you kidding me? Schools charge way too much. Interest is only a function of stupid high costs. How about government investigate why the cost of college is going througth the roof? |
Education › Free College for All
BS>BS Personal answerAgain, why is Federal Government involved? We as communities should push education but it could be College or trade schools. This should not be a yes or no question. |
Social › Death Penalty
BS>BS Personal answerYes |
Immigration › Deporting Criminal Immigrants
BS>BS Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › Marijuana
BS>BS Personal answerPhased legalization yes. But we need to be prepared for the social impact just like Alcoholism which is often used as an escape. We also need to way to identify intoxication to prevent death and danger on the road and when working. We also need to create a new level of abues programs and education. We could phase in reducing prison population related to Pot, however a 3rd party should be included since a dealer involved in theft or death that has pleaded down to possesion shoul dnot be in the same catagory as a guys busted with it in his possession. |
Social › Hate Speech
BS>BS Personal answerYes, because I don’t trust the government to define the boundaries of hate speech |
Social › Confederate Flag
BS>BS Personal answerIt should be voted on. It should be vigorously debated. It should not be based on a judge or a politician or worse a mob. To some it is a symbol of hate and to some it is a symbol of rebellion. So is the American Flag. |
Social › Government Mandates
BS>BS Personal answerNO! The government should stay out of this. Birth control is a choice. There are plenty of options out there without a heavy handed government getting involved. |
Domestic Policy › No-Fly List Gun Control
BS>BS Personal answerNeed due process on no-fly list. slippery slope. |
Domestic Policy › Supreme Court Reform
BS>BS Personal answerEach time the balance of the court shifts the other side cries foul. Members of the court being given position for life helps to prevent strategic influence. When justices fail to step down at a preferrable time to the political climate, they risk impacting the balance for selfish reasons, but it still allows for choices. |
Domestic Policy › Gerrymandering
BS>BS Personal answerMany facets to this. If it was fair and properly administered I think impartial redrawing would be preferred. Generally the side that has the favorable conditions wins and likes the right, and the other dislikes it. |
Social › Women in Combat
BS>BS Personal answerLived this. There are logistics to this that make women in combat less effective (seperate tents, medical, showering, etc). Breakdown in command structure which makes the chain of command less effective. Mixing of Men and Women together results in social problems that breakdown the unit coheasion (Jelousy, pregnancy, harassment, favoritisn etc). Physical limitations (yes some are capable of lifting a 175 pound man and I have seen a few males not capable of the same), but overall there is a difference for combat readiness. Last is the difference between asking to and being forced to. A male can be obligated into a combat role, but a female must seek it and if not would it be OK to force them into a frontline combat role. Much too complicated as long as we have a volunteer army to force this for some kind of theatrics or PR stunt. Real People Die in this expairiment. Perhaps an all female unit? |
Immigration › Illegal Immigrant Detainment
BS>BS Personal answerWe are a nation of laws. This includes federal crimes. We need to be united in proper process. If we turn a blind eye to a broken law that results in tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars of tax money being used without choice in wrong. |
Healthcare › Medicaid
BS>BS Personal answerNO. The Federal government is an awful judge of healthcare. They are poor with your money. A person should invest in and be able to use an account to address healthcare. The current system is full of waste fraud and abuse. |
Domestic Policy › Social Media Regulation
BS>BS Personal answerWho decides what is fake and real? We have seen examples of fake news like Russian Collusion, Hunter Biden laptop, and Hillary Clinton emails receiving different treatment by platforms that have shown to be less that impartial. |
Science › Mandatory Vaccinations
BS>BS Personal answerAny policy that is mandated by the Government is a little scary. If I believe it helps, then I should take it, if I dont then I could have that option. We have people aborting fetuses and label it as reproductive health. Struggling to reconcile this madness. |
Immigration › Border Security
BS>BS Personal answerYes, and allow border states to manage their own security policy |
Crime › Private Prisons
BS>BS Personal answerYes, but they should be strictly regulated to prevent mismanagement and corruption |
Social › Gender Workplace Diversity
BS>BS Personal answerNo, the government should never require the diversity of private businesses |
Crime › Qualified Immunity for Police
BS>BS Personal answerYes, and provide more training and education for police officers |
the Environment › Alternative Energy
BS>BS Personal answerNo, and the government should never support unproven technologies |
Immigration › Sanctuary Cities
BS>BS Personal answerFederal funding should not be a weapon against a state or a city, however we should be able to vote. Federal funding should not be used for non-US citizens. The difficulty is that often those funds can be misused or diverted. |
Immigration › Immigration Healthcare
BS>BS Personal answerNo, no, no. Illegal should be treated for immediate healthcare needs, but sould be returned to their contry of origin and follow the proper access that over 1,000,000 do each year. If they purchase healthcare of their own, then yes they can do that. |
Elections › Campaign Finance
BS>BS Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › Single-Payer Healthcare
BS>BS Personal answerLived it in the military. You wont like it. You lose all choices. Quality and availability decreases. Everyone gets equally poor care. Waste Fraud and Abuse accelerates. Buyer beware. |
Immigration › Immigrant Laborers
BS>BS Personal answerLegal immigrants need priority. US citizens should be given priority over them. Illegal immigrants should be processed out. These are all the same expectations other countries have and we should be no different. |
the Environment › Alaska Wildlife Refuge
BS>BS Personal answerYes |
Elections › Voter Fraud
BS>BS Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Corporate Tax
BS>BS Personal answerLets focus on special favors bestowed upon corporate donations to candidates. Pfizer for Covid Vax, Solar Energy to Solindra, tax breaks to electric car companies. The government is creating guaranteed profits through this methods. Stop adding taxes that get passed on to consumers. |
Social › Safe Spaces
BS>BS Personal answerOn the one hand you can have violent language and threat of physical force by left leaning groups, but then there is the "Dog whistle" trigger warning related to subtle right leaning tendancies. I think that we are using these as a crutch or as a club to bludgeon the opposition. You sould not be able to have it both ways. |
Domestic Policy › Patriot Act
BS>BS Personal answerIt was a good initial option. It later fell into abuse of several amendments. |
the Economy › Government Spending
BS>BS Personal answerYes, and eliminate federal agencies that are unconstitutional |
Healthcare › COVID Employment Health Pass
BS>BS Personal answerAbsolutely NOT. No government involvement in private business. They will simply tie business subsidies or future contracts to agreeing with these government "guidelines", so it wont matter. Government needs to get out of the healthcare business. |
Elections › Minimum Voting Age
BS>BS Personal answerWe have shown that teens cannot make good choices with alcohol until 21. We also do not let early drivers rent a car until 25. Most young voters are not properly informed. Most voters cannot tell you who the VP is, their Congressional Rep, or how many judges are on the SC. I like the Idea of a test or earning citizenship through service to the country, but constitutionally that is not legal so I reluctantly say raise it to 21 same as alcohol. |
Foreign Policy › Israel
BS>BS Personal answerYes, but respect Israel’s sovereignty and do not dictate how it should interact with its neighbors |
Foreign Policy › Ukrainian Defense Funding
BS>BS Personal answerI believe that the US can use this fighting as a proxy war that helps to minimize Russia especially since Russia started this. BUT this is siphoning off our military supplies, it is costing the US tax payer Billions, and the Ukraine was and is a badly corrupt coutry and we may be picking a side that is a problem for us later on like when we backed Afganistan fighting Russia only to then have to fight them ourselves. Beware of unintended consequences. |
Foreign Policy › NATO
BS>BS Personal answerYes but with some demands that other countries meet their obligations. We are not the worlds police force. |
Immigration › Border Wall
BS>BS Personal answerUntil a soverign boarder is recognized and enforced. A wall, electronics, military and diplomatic means. There are billions of people that would escape their lives if they could come here and it is impossible for us to assimilate this many. Better to promote the freedoms we have here elsewhere. |
Immigration › Immigrant Assimilation
BS>BS Personal answerThere has to be a unifying part of this country. We do need assistance for new immigrants. We can have independant sponsored language assistance, but to have every language offered in schools, 150 different transation and forms, plus a breakdown in the sytem is not good for the country. Subsequent generations need to have english as a primary language. |
Healthcare › Medicaid Work Requirement
BS>BS Personal answerThe easy answer 100% yes with only a very few carveouts allowed. Any exception would require significant approval by a 3rd party. |
Social › First Amendment
BS>BS Personal answerNo. It is part of the Judeo Christian influence of the founding fathers. It impacts none of the people and is part of historical tradition. |
Domestic Policy › Gun Liability
BS>BS Personal answerWe need to stop blaming the tool. A car is just as dangerous as a gun in the wrong hands. We need to start focusing on society and mental state. I think we should also be able to sue doctors issuing drugs that harm or fail to red flag an individual. |
Crime › Defunding the Police
BS>BS Personal answerNo, increase funding and training for police departments in higher crime rate communities |
Crime › Solitary Confinement for Juveniles
BS>BS Personal answerSome juveniles are as big and dangerous as a full grown man. Others are vulnerable inside of prison. Additionally violent juveniles need seperation from others. |
Immigration › Skilled Immigrants
BS>BS Personal answerOK to increase as long as legal, approved, and properly processed. |
Immigration › Citizenship Test
BS>BS Personal answerYes, and it should test more than just a basic level of understanding |
Crime › Mandatory minimum prison sentences
BS>BS Personal answerYes in cases of violence. Yes in cases related to hard drugs. Yes in cases related to death or bad intent like selling in a school. |
Elections › Right of Foreigners to Vote
BS>BS Personal answerNo |
Healthcare › Safe Haven
BS>BS Personal answerHow does this help? Yes we reduce some drug related deaths but only to help increase and subsidize the proliferation. |
Healthcare › Medicare Drug Prices
BS>BS Personal answerPersonal choice is a great influencer. Keep government out. A 3rd party disinterested group should be able to help keep Health services in check though. |
Domestic Policy › Affirmative Action
BS>BS Personal answerWe should focus on fair programs. We strip minorities of believing that they fairly earned a position. We descriminate against another group in attempt to level the playing field which is the exact thing we are trying to change. |
Healthcare › Vaccine Mandates for Customers
BS>BS Personal answerAbsolutely not. A business does not have the medical capabilities of understanding something like this. As the CDC has recently stated, an infected person has just as much immunity to COVID as a vaxed person. Vaccinations are designed to prevent a person from getting a disease, which the current vax does not do. So ultimately we are asking a server to determine a persons ability to take part in society. |
the Economy › Universal Basic Income
BS>BS Personal answerNo, this will encourage people not to work and harm economic growth |
Domestic Policy › Flag Burning
BS>BS Personal answerMy personal opinion is that it should only be burned at retirement. I think people should be allowed to burn it as a symbol if they wish, but I would like to reserve my option to extinguish the fire as well. For environmental concerns. |
the Economy › Welfare
BS>BS Personal answerMore, reform the system so that it supplements, rather than replaces, a working income |
Crime › Demilitarize the Police
BS>BS Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Labor Unions
BS>BS Personal answerHelp, in theory but have recently become corrupt and should have their powers limited |
Elections › Campaign Finance
BS>BS Personal answerDonations should be capped. Corporations would appear to be influence peddeling (although they usually donte to both in order to secure favors), and unions should not donate if their constituancy does not have a say in where, who, and how much. |
the Economy › Economic Stimulus
BS>BS Personal answerNo. We learn no resiliancy or responsibility. Government action simply delays the effect and we end up worse off in general. If anything we should encourage building up our own individual wealth to weather the storm. |
the Economy › Welfare Drug Testing
BS>BS Personal answerYes, test anyone receiving money from the government including employees and politicians |
the Environment › Dakota Access Pipeline
BS>BS Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Capital Gains Tax
BS>BS Personal answerIf you have money that has been taxed, then you use it to buy a product that increases, you have no right to take a second bite of it. The government is like a swarm of locust, it will eat whatever it can for no regard of the future and then the entire population will die out. |
Immigration › In-State Tuition
BS>BS Personal answerWe need to disincentivize coming to this country via illegal means. Embrace legal immigration. Change the laws if we want to do more as a country. |
Education › Common Core
BS>BS Personal answerNo |
Healthcare › World Health Organization
BS>BS Personal answerThis entity has lost a ton of credibility. There are some good and viable programs. BUT every coutry should contribute the same amount per capita and oversight needs to be strict by a 3rd party. |
the Environment › Oil Drilling
BS>BS Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › United Nations
BS>BS Personal answerYes, and we should make our voices heard but not at the expense of our nations sovereignty. No one world government. |
Healthcare › Obamacare
BS>BS Personal answerNo, government should not be involved in healthcare |
Elections › Candidate Transparency
BS>BS Personal answerOversight from an impartial panel to ensure there is no money from China or Russia or that someone is not gaming the system. The current push is in an effort to smear politicians on both sides. If wrong doing if substantiated, then stiff penalties should be initiated. |
the Environment › Fracking
BS>BS Personal answerYes |
Elections › Lobbyists
BS>BS Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Overtime Pay
BS>BS Personal answerThis is a symbiotic relationship. If an employee is worth the money the business should pay. If a business wants to keep its employee, they will pay, if a business does not pay, the employee should be free to seek a new better paying job. In a truly capatalistic society, a balance is reached. |
Domestic Policy › Eminent Domain
BS>BS Personal answerYes, but this has to be a very careful thing. Needs to be reasonable compensation, needs to be public good, needs to be beneficial to community. |
Elections › Mail in ballots
BS>BS Personal answerNo, mail in ballots should only be used by voters who are physically incapable of making it to a polling location |
Elections › Electoral College
BS>BS Personal answerNo, but reform so that votes are distributed proportionally instead of the current winner take all system |
Foreign Policy › Military Spending
BS>BS Personal answerFirst root out waste fraud and abuse. Second root out pork and special favors. Third invest in next generation, like drones, cyber, kinetic weapons, and other technologies. |
Crime › Collective Bargaining
BS>BS Personal answerYes, but we need a 3rd party to oversee this. |
the Environment › Animal Testing
BS>BS Personal answerYes, but not for cosmetics |
Science › Nuclear Energy
BS>BS Personal answerYes |
Crime › Drug Trafficking Penalties
BS>BS Personal answerYes, but only if they are repeated offenders |
Foreign Policy › Torture
BS>BS Personal answerYes |
Elections › Criminal Politicians
BS>BS Personal answerI think that the concern is that this could become a driving force in trying to charge a politician. Not all crimes are the same. I think that this should not be a blanket rule but worth discussing depending on the nature and severity of the infraction. |
Foreign Policy › Foreign Aid
BS>BS Personal answerDecrease, and deny aid to countries that harbor or promote terrorism |
Healthcare › VA Privatization
BS>BS Personal answerI lived Military healthcare for 4 years. Good product but no way is it a standard we need to go to. No choice, no urgency, give Vets a medical card that assists with outside resources and have a VA that is there as a safety net. |
Education › School Vouchers
BS>BS Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › Drones
BS>BS Personal answerThe easy answer is yes, but with some concern about impact of extra national involvement in a soverign country. |
Science › GMO Labels
BS>BS Personal answerWe just pumped the population of the country with exparimental RNA drugs that we have not long term history and we are concerned about genetically modified crops that make them drought resistant, pest resistant, and helps to feed the billions of the people on this planet. Am I the only person that does not see the folly? |
Crime › Prison Overcrowding
BS>BS Personal answerThis cant be a plead down case. The offender needs to be supervised. The offender needs to pay back society for their level of transgression. Education, training, and rehab needs to be a requirement. |
Education › Universal Pre-K
BS>BS Personal answerWhat in the world is the Federal government doing being involved in preschool? This is a matter for individuals and local government. Offer vouchers if we want. |
Housing › Homeless Encampments
BS>BS Personal answerMy opinion is to get them into shelter, rehab. If they choose elsewhere, they should not be forced, but existing laws should not be broken to allow illegal activity especially near schools, libraries, playgrounds etc. Once actions become too much independant agencies can assume a role, but should not be up to the government. Further interations should be legal in action and can then become criminal. |
Transportation › Public Transportation
BS>BS Personal answerNo, and we should privatize more public transportation services |
Education › Charter Schools
BS>BS Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › Ukraine and Nato
BS>BS Personal answerNot simple black and white. Ukraine needs to rid itself of corruption. It needs to repay the funds it has received, and it has to live up to its commitments. |
Immigration › Dual Citizenship
BS>BS Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Estate Tax
BS>BS Personal answerYes, and government should never steal money from anyone. Individuals have the natural right to rule themselves, make their own choices, and choose their own lifestyles. |
Crime › Criminal Voting Rights
BS>BS Personal answerYes, but only after completing their sentences and parole/probation |
the Environment › Plastic Product Ban
BS>BS Personal answerI beleive that we all should treat the earth in a good way. Limiting how we live and survive in an effort to protect the planet if folly. |
Foreign Policy › Terrorism
BS>BS Personal answerNo |
National Security › Military Congressional Approval
BS>BS Personal answerImmediate response should be possible by the president. Continued pursuit needs congressional approval. |
the Environment › Paris Climate Agreement
BS>BS Personal answerYes, until other countries are held to the same standards |
the Economy › Tech Monopolies
BS>BS Personal answerAmazon is already killing the local business. Facebook is no longer working as an impartial messaging platform, and Google is selling our data and manipulating social control. They also have too much power and can gravely impact any chance at competition. They also have too much government influence on policy. |
Healthcare › Medical Consensus
BS>BS Personal answerNo, scientific consensus can quickly change and patients should be allowed to try unconventional ideas |
National Security › Foreign Assassination
BS>BS Personal answerYes, but only if there is undeniable evidence they have committed an attack against our country |
Foreign Policy › NATO
BS>BS Personal answerNo |
Science › Space Exploration
BS>BS Personal answerWe need to continue our progress. IF you believe that the world is going to be uninhabitable and we can somehow migrate to Mars and terraform it versus seeking improvement in Earth, then having a rational conversation is not possible. |
Education › Open for Learning Recovery Benefit Program
BS>BS Personal answerAgain, we should be teaching resiliancy. NOT bailouts. As a community we should be empowering every person with freedom to make choices that benefit them. Stop believing that we cannot do for ourselves. |
the Economy › NAFTA
BS>BS Personal answerYes, but renegotiate NAFTA to be more fair |
National Security › Mexican Drug Cartels
BS>BS Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Offshore Banking
BS>BS Personal answerCitizens should be allowed to choose. They should not be bailed out when that money is lost due to poor judgement and there is no FDIC in this case. Should the purpose be to specifically skip on taxes, then we can evaluate that individually. |
Foreign Policy › India Arms
BS>BS Personal answerSince we pulled out of Afganistan we lost a strategic location in the region. India is a democratic country wedged in the middle of many countries that have the potential to become unstable. |
Foreign Policy › NSA Surveillance
BS>BS Personal answerNo |
Foreign Policy › Cuba
BS>BS Personal answerIf the purpose gives power to the people, if it weakens the communist strangle hold on its people, if the money does not go into government hands, and it provides a positive experience for the people that have been fed propoganda, then yes. Open up Cuba. |
the Environment › Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
BS>BS Personal answerNo, and I am skeptical about the viability of electric vehicles |
Foreign Policy › Jerusalem
BS>BS Personal answerYes |
Education › School Truancy
BS>BS Personal answerBad question. Are we talking parents? This is being used to hammer parents that home school. We might benefit more from flexibility. |
the Economy › Pension Reform
BS>BS Personal answerPension plans should be phased out. Their funds too often are badly managed and run out. People are living longer and the ability to collect at 62 is too early. These plans are too often used as a wedge when it comes to free choice. |
the Environment › Corporate Subsidies
BS>BS Personal answerYes, as long as the tax revenue will eventually exceed the tax incentives |
Foreign Policy › F-35
BS>BS Personal answerWe do need a 5th gen fighter. If we speed R&D on 6th Gen fighter AND Drones with AI infused tech then we can phase out our pilots and rely on more and more tech to fight out battles. |
