Issues
Political philosophy
In an electronic communication, Walsh describes his political philosophy:[1]
"Jeffersonian: government that governs least governs best. Limited, enumerated, delegated powers to the government. All rights reserved to the people. I believe in free markets, but that means that government must have the power to break up cartels and monopolies. I don't believe in fiat money, or the present system of finance and credit, which has at its root the Federal Reserve System (a banking cartel). America should be a good neighbor with other nations; a trustworthy trading partner, but not the world policeman, or the leg breakers for the plutocrats."
