ECONOMY: Ok, until the deficit was a good surplus, I wouldn't be implementing any tax cuts. Yet, I wouldn't be placing any new taxes on the books unless something drastic were to happen. The government WILL be streamlined, useless programs that don't do anything anymore will be cut. I will be focusing on encouraging full employment and weening people off the support of the government.

NATIONAL DEFENSE: This shall be a priority of mine. For years, our military has been the best, and I would like to keep it that way. Research shall be done to keep the military technologies at the best it can be. The CIA, DIA, NSA, FBI, etc. will not have funding cut, and they will be required to do their jobs and keep the intel solid so as to help make good policy decisions. If not, there will be some serious house cleanings on the 7th Floor.

SOCIAL SECURITY: This will be reformed, so that people who are able to work, will be continually encouraged to work. Those that really and truthfully need the support will get it. However, those that continually wrongly work the system will be found out and support for them, shall be removed.

FOREIGN POLICY: Diplomacy shall be my first choice in dealing with other countries. North Korea shall have continuing pressure put on it by international organizations such as the IAEA and by treaties like the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Iran shall be dealt with in the same way. Terror waged upon the United States and its allies shall not be tolerated, you hurt citizens of the free world, we hurt you. No more support for Israel until they decide to play nice and the United States will take a more neutral position in negotiating a treaty between the Israelis and the Palestinians.

IMMIGRATION: Legal immigration will be encouraged, it's how this country was built up. However, illegal immigration will be cracked down upon. For security issues however, extensive background checks shall be done on those immigrating into the United States. Temporary Visas shall have an even more rigorous inspection program for security reasons as well. These checks will not be racial/national specific, they will be for all those that want to enter the country.

EDUCATION: The system that is currently in place is behind the times. The system purports that simply doing as your told and not venturing out will make you a successful person. In reality, this will only most likely cause someone to be in debt. Generalization before specialization shall be the order of the day. That way, people that enter into the job market shall be versatile people able to adapt to little hiccups in the economy.

DOMESTIC ISSUES: A nationalized health care program that still allows for competition shall be pushed for. This way, that keeps the NHC on its toes and willing to improve its product. Abortion, unless the mother's life is in danger, or the pregnancy is a result of unwilling sex, shall be frowned upon and hopefully made into law, adoption shall be the encouraged method to not wanting to care for a child. Campaign finance reform shall be an issue as well, in a republic, the representatives shall be selected by the people, not by corporations.

SPACE PROGRAM: Only good can come from the space program. Technology, medical, and other things benefit from the research done in space. The Moon shall be colonized and Mars missions shall eventually become more frequent. By looking outward, we can improve the quality of life for us.
