What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

The health care crisis this year caused unprecedented spending, and we must work to return our government activities to a free market, capitalist structure as soon as possible. We know that socialism never succeeds - it's time to emerge from the crisis by implementing free market initiatives, constraints on unnecessary spending, and a targeted budget that supports innovations to expand the private sector quickly and a priority on right-sizing government to ensure America First!
