Ensure peace and security by:

3) Energy independence based upon renewable energy. we are about to start running short of oil. We have done nothing to avert the global wars and disasters that this shortage will cause, and perhaps is already causing.

Answer from Mike P Byron:

Taxes and spending must be brought into convergence. How to do this?

Multinational corporations and persons making over about $500,000.00 per year are taxed much too lightly, The middle class is taxed slightly too much.

I will consistently vote to eliminate the hundreds of billions stolen from the national treasury in the form of corporate welfare and obscene subsidies to the mega-rich.

I will vote in favor of programs which provide for the common good of all of us while insisting on strict cost accounting with all facts and figures being publicly available over the internet.
