Hello,
My name is Steven, and as you guys might already know is that I’m an amateur political analyst. I'm a center-right college student and I’m hoping to update this once a week (not sure about if I’ll always be able to)
In this intro I’ll be simply listing my ideas on how the federal government should handle certain issues:
Abortion: libertarian on federal level, it's a moral issue, and those are decided by the state by law. However, I personally am against abortions and would never put a person in danger
Economy - to stimulate the economy we should cut taxes to encourage long term growth, which is always necessary for an economy like ours, bailouts are temporary solutions that should only be done if you want to create deficit. and right now our
Welfare State: it is a waste of money, unlike the 1930s (when people needed it) the Social Security program is outdated and bankrupt. So are Medicare and Medicaid. We need to get rid of these programs and prevent any more like these to take hold.
Civil Rights: gay marriage; 'marriage' should only be for a man/woman couple, not a homosexual couple. Tradition defines the word marriage as a union of a man and a woman. in what way would a civil union be any different? however, this is a state issue, not a federal one, let the states decide
Education - we need to re-do our public school system, right now many children of ours are failing high school, which I find unchallenging already, if we can't even get kids to focus on school there must be something wrong with how they are learning, loosing interest in your future is not an option!
Energy - we do need to invest in so called 'green energy' especially ones like tidal and others, as well as invest in different modes of transportation, Japan has a massive train system and excellent infrastructure so for our cities and between them we should invest in high-speed, efficient public transport systems, doing this would also keep us from becoming dark once oil runs out
Environment - not only should we invest into 'green energy' (if it is green), we should focus on a program that gives money to companies who wish to clean the air with ultra-efficient carbon scrubbers and work on a way to remove the excess carbon dioxide.
Fiscal - (deficit) - we need to reduce our deficit as much as we can, our debt clock has run out of numbers and we NEED to get it under control, we spent too much on a war during the bush years, made an unnecessary war last too long (it would have been fine if we could have just gone in, cut off the head, then pull out... even better if we just assassinated them and blamed it on Iran) and now our children (and myself) is going to pay in about 20-40 years, we need to balance our budget
Foreign Policy - we need to improve our relations with European nations and china and other first-world nations, these nations are part of the life-blood of our nation and all of our economies are important
Homeland Security- though we are quite secure now, we need to increase security now! we need to constantly change our security network and our ways of security. Of course, we need to also be efficient as well, accelerating the integration technology into our forces to effectively work with the least amount of time wasted
this is all that I can think of for now, I’ll edit this later Next up: Obama's Transition Team (research will have to be done, please bear with me) Or perhaps it's going to be Universal health care, expect one or both.
