- Jobs / Economy
- Excerpt: " In 2010, just 200 jobs were created in Clark County. In 2011, only 700! But we graduate from high schools alone thousands of kids with little to look forward to. I tend to call them the LOST GENERATION. We need to come together and attract businesses to our state and remove government burdens on small businesses for a sustainable future. "
- Gross Negligence Of Social Services
- Excerpt: " There was a time that if you needed help from the government it was rather humiliating. But now, it is discussed in great rapport. "Take what you can, it is owed to me!" I feel we need to put stop checks in for a lot of it. Drug testing for certain services is fine with me. "
- Crime And Drug Epidemic

Government in any service industry will / has created inflation and waste. Also deregulation of certain services would bring down the cost of care. "
