Governments have powers derived from the consent of people. To say any government has “rights” is to put that, or any, government on a level equal to human beings who create government. The Framers did not do that. 7/17

3) What proposals would you make in order to decrease the national debt? Cut military budget by half, eliminate tax cuts for rich, bring back vibrant estate tax, & wipe out natl student debt held (mostly) by same big banks we bailed out in 2008-2009. 8/17

4) Describe any overreaching policies of fed govt you believe might be unconstl. Again: implies yes is the only answer. I believe we should restore vibrant GOP-launched programs that improved this country since the party’s founding in 1854. 9/17

Need to advocate civil rts, crack down on large corps, limit our mil involvement overseas, & reverse trend against clean air & clean water. Get Federal AND State out of women’s wombs & reproductive choices. 10/17

Roe v Wade was written by a GOP-nominated justice and supported by four others in 1973. 11/17

5) Do you believe govt has “spending problem” or “revenue problem”? What would you do to solve either problem? There are problems in both areas. 12/17

First, we decry spending on the poor and the middle class as “socialism” and “welfare,” but describe it as “subsidy” and an effort at “job growth” when it is for the very rich and large corporations. We should flip that spending. 13/17

Provide poor & middle class people w/$ they spend it locally & on necessities. Give it to the rich, they blow it on drugs (pun intended), stock buy-backs and overseas investments. The rich are extremely irresponsible with money. 14/17
