Frequently asked questions

How can we balance the budget?

There are several strategies to cut spending and would allow us to start reducing the national debt. One example would be that we are paying farmers for food that goes bad, because they are unable to find buyers. At the same time we are paying for food to supply food banks, churches and other organizations to assist those with food insecurities. Why can't farmers supply those organizations when they have excess products and get reimbursed for those donations instead of getting paid for throwing the products out. 

 

How can we still help other countries with aid, while making sure corrupt governments don't keep the money while their citizens continue to suffer starving, facing drought, needing medical care.

It is not Americas responsibility to care for other countries people. However, we can't allow people to suffer and die when it can be avoided. Let's provide food. water and medicine directly to the people who need it at extremely lower cost. Let's teach them skills like hydroponics to still grow with less water. Let's assist with needed infrastructure, not billions of dollars that often results in no progress. Let's help other governments realize alternate policies that can result in more effective outcomes. If no changes are made the outcome will remain the same.
