• Republican and Democratic policies over the past fifty years are the reason health care has become so expensive. Their latest proposals to "fix" health care will further micromanage your doctors and restrict your access to care while failing to solve the underlying problem. They differ only on whether this should be done by private insurance companies or government bureaucrats. This is the exact opposite of what needs to be done. We can reduce the cost of health care by 75% by allowing real price competition, and by substantially reducing government and insurance company paperwork. This will make health care affordable for most Americans, while also reducing the cost of legacy programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and the V.A. By freeing medica
• As president, I will use my constitutional authority to block any new borrowing. I will veto any spending bill that would lead to a deficit, and veto any debt ceiling increase.

• My plan is to turn America into one giant Switzerland, armed and neutral, with the military force to defend America's soil and shores against any foreign attackers or invaders, protected by an armed citizenry and a military laser-focused on defending America. No U.S. involvement in foreign wars. Bring home our 200,000-plus American military personnel stationed in foreign countries, and no U.S. military aid to foreign governments. No U.S. blockages or embargoes of non-military trade. Peace, at last.

Generations of Republican and Democrat politicians have failed the people of America. Together they've given us - over $26 trillion in debt, - trillion-dollar deficits, plus trillions more in unfunded liabilities; - non-stop involvement in expensive and deadly foreign wars; - skyrocketing health care costs; - the highest imprisonment rate in the world, which is even higher among racial minorities and the poor; - a broken retirement system unable to pay promised benefits; - tariffs that are destroying markets for American farmers and raising consumer prices; - and energy policies driven by special interests. Big government mandates and programs created these problems. To solve them, we need to make government smaller - much, much smaller.
