eweissenbach: It may be simplistic but I believe voters fall in line with that oft referrd to bell curve. However there are periods wherein hard shifts to one side or another are made because circumstances require it. We have had a very liberal president and congress that unfortunately has rapidly heading into european socialism. We will ned a hard shift to the right to get us back on track. I say that because not everything a president proposes gets voted in.

My wish list includes a very strong deense and foreign policy. We need to retake our place at the head of the global table.

I believe that the Departments of energy and Education have to be reduced and redefined becuase they are ineffective and misguided. I believe the EPA has to have it swings clipped because its green policies are creating a serious danger of power shortages across this country.

I do not believe a tax incease will help us as it is like going to an ATM to meet your home budget shortages. Congress will spend tax increases at an alarming rate. We can however invest in revenue neutral solution.

Spending needs to be cur but again there are a number of ways to accomplish that without hurting people. For instance welfare programs shoud be turned over to the individual states because they will be able to manage them better. the federal government is just too big.

I am certain there are members here who have better solutions . Its now solutions were short on its poltical people will the intestinal fortittude and desire to push through these solutions.
