Campaign themes

2016

The following issues were listed on Horst's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

“
  • Income inequality: The relationship between debt and income inequality is not hard to grasp: Those to whom you owe money will always have more of it than you. ... I will propose removing all economic data collection, analysis and reporting from the Executive and place it under the Federal Reserve. We will only have sound money again when start telling the truth about inflation, economic growth and the real rate of unemployment.
  • Student loans and college tuition: In one of the most spectacular examples of a good idea gone bad, there is simply no better example of "crony capitalism" than today's student loan programs. Banks borrow money from the Federal Reserve for free and then lend it out at 4-6 percent on a note that cannot be discharged in bankruptcy and is 100% backed by the tax-payers. ... This has produced spectacularly irresponsible lending. ... There is nothing conservative about this arrangement.
  • Immigration: As one who has grown up by the border I will take this stand: The vast majority of those here illegally are not criminals. They are people who were forced to choose between feeding their families and waiting in a line that was not moving. I will take this further stand: The problem of illegal immigration has nothing to do with border security. The threat of terrorism certainly does, and for that reason border security is important. But the problem of illegal immigration is about why people have to come here illegally to begin with.
  • Medical marijuana: I will propose a temporary, five-year removal of marijuana from Schedule I only in the small amounts consistent with medical use. Marijuana in these small amounts will be under Schedule II for five years. If Congress does not renew the legislation, it will immediately revert to Schedule I under the terms of current law. ... It will also allow doctors to prescribe medical marijuana, strengthening our efforts to ensure it is only available to those who truly need it.[4]
