Questions & Answers

1. What can be done to ensure that California gets its fair share of federal resources?

I would end this practice keeping the money in the state to begin with. It is insane to allow Washington to take money from us and then to dole back a portion of it with a million strings and call it a grant.

2. What are your foreign policy priorities for the United States?

The United States should have peace and commerse with all nations and entangling alliance with none. We should return all American forces to American territory. End all foreign aid.

3. What are your priorities for the federal budget?

The federal bugets needs to be drastically slashed and all expenditures that are not permitted by the Constitution elimated which includes all pork barrel project. Ever item of expenditure needs a vote up or down and not piggybacked to some bill.
