Road to Recovery

My plan for America will not be popular but it will address the problems that we face as a nation. Everyone must make a sacrifice on the "Road to Recovery". My plan for action calls for a 15-20% across the board cut in federal programs. The military must be excluded! Our national security must never be jeopardized. Keeping America strong will be my number one priority.

I have been a longtime advocate of abolishing the Department of Education and other agencies that have lost their usefulness. We must integrate agencies and the duplication of services must end. Federal employees must be retrained in areas of government where there is a high rate of fraud. The Medicare program has over 40-50 billion dollars a year in fraud. Government procedures must be examined line by line and revamped. We must eliminate the process by which we pay $1200 for a $250 wheelchair. This is bad business and it must be stopped!

Entitlements must be addressed immediately. We must scale back on eligibility for these programs. Social security was strictly intended as a retirement program for working men and women who paid into the system. Over the years, the bureaucrats have expanded the eligibility requirements until individuals who have never contributed can receive benefits. We cannot afford this practice any longer.

It is wrong for Americans who have paid into the Medicare system and yet are told in order to receive long term care, they must liquidate all their assets or spouses must divorce their lifetime partners. This is a direct attack on the institution of marriage that has been ordained by God. Marriage is strictly between a man and a woman. Middle Class Americans should have the right to pass on their wealth to their children and grandchildren. This practice must end! Neither Democrats nor Republicans have addressed this issue.

Earned Income Credit cost American taxpayers over 12-13 billion dollars in fraud alone. We will save approximately 130 billion dollars in fraud in the next 10 years by eliminating the Earned Income Tax Credit. This program allows individuals who pay little or no taxes to receive large refunds. This is not an an American value! I will introduce a bill to eliminate the Earned Income Tax Credit. We must give Middle Class Families who earn up to $175,000 an additional $10,000 standard deduction.

I am the only candidate that has explained to the American public how we must set our financial house in order. I have the vision to lead and the courage to stand by my convictions. My plan will work. The only way to less taxes and less government is to simply cut the fat from the budget. America needs a "Slim Fast" diet! I welcome debates that address the issues and not the rhetoric. It is time for true leadership in America. I have the resolve and the political will to stand up and to make these unpopular choices. The days of government playing "Santa Claus" is over! Those who see the future will lead. Those who do not will follow. I have a plan of action.

I will be glad to speak to any organization to explain my positions. Let's Take Our Country Back!
