buckiprof,
Those are basically the only liberal issues that I agree with (might have left one out, but that is about it). Here is a small list of some of my more conservative thoughts... warning, this will prob. stir the nest a little bit
I don't like welfare (at least in it's present form... I'd give folks two passes, each pass is good for six months, and them no more... if you have kids, they get taken away and the gov. will care for them. When you get back on your feet, you get the kids back... also no additional money for kids... no reason to give folks an incentive to have kids when they can not care for themselves).
I would change umemployment to two months... after that you are on your own. I would also not let you collect if you have not been at your job for at least a year, and you can only collect one time (two months) every five years... I know way too many people that abuse the system, and we (the ones that work) pay for it.
I want a big military to protect me... I have no problem sending $$$ to the military... without them we would not enjoy liberty as we know it.
I would mandate a year of military service for every american that physically can do a job (both guys, gals, straight, bie)... we need to teach disipline and honor in our youth (and many adults for that matter).
I am totally against a socialized health care plan... currently there is a huge $$$ incentive to develope blockbuster new drugs and to find cures for current medical problems. with a socialized system the incentive is out the door, PERIOD! Look at the communist's work ethic, if you disagree.
I want the trademark/copyright of medicines to be seven years, then fall off to all generics (the creator can have their as well, however they would need to drop the price to the generics to be competitive)... right now there are loopholes that extend this.
The generic drugs should be cheap (cap them if you have to). It is seven year old technology, and the cost is simply the ingrediants... this would help to make meds more affordable for the poor (granted they would only have access to seven year old drugs, but that is better than nothing).
People are not entitled to healthcare... it is a business not a right... if you can not afford insurance or the cost of healthcare, find somebody who will pay for it or move along... (again if my drug program was put in place they could at least have the older drugs to help them)... also, basic medical service should be available to all children PERIOD (a kid should not be punished if his/her parent doesn't have insurance... once they hit 18, or graduate from highschool (whichever is longer), they are on their own... well in the military for a year or more, then on their own)
I am for free trade, if somebody can make it cheaper, you better find a nitch to differenciate (sp) yourself or get out of the way.
I don't think the gov. is efficient, the less they control the better IMO
For those that can not support themselves have a federal program to take care of them. Make it institutional living, that is not that great, however do take care of the folks. (read, don't give them money, force them to live in the instition, that will help to keep the fakes out).
If you sell illegal guns you should get the death penalty... If you sell highgrade drugs you should get the death penalty(pot, and shrooms are ok in my book, fine them and move along... crack, coke, acid, exdocy(sp), meth., etc should be the death penalty)... If you kill a person, you should get the death penalty (not sit on death row for twenty years)... white collar crime should have severe fines (if caught three or so times you should get the death penalty). No reason for life sentences (if you get a life sentence, you should get the death penalty)... I think that would help to solve our prison problem (also no tv's in jail, and have them work everyday... heck build a factory in the prison. Do not pay them for the work, the earnings will help to offset the cost of the prison).
Stop all unions. They do nothing but cost money, which is passed down to the consumer.
those are a few off the top of my head... as you can tell, I am pretty harsh on some of the topics. And alot of it isn't very PC... raised by tough love, and live the same way... people need to take responsibility for their actions! 99% of the folks can work, many choose not to. I can not stand people who can work, and don't because of some "big brother" plan.
I would also like to see some sort of system that makes kids study. Keep them in school longer, don't let them play sports if they don't maintain a 2.5 GPA, pay kids a small paycheck if they get a 3.0, more for 3.5, more for 4.0 (school is basically their job, so why not pay them a little bit of money if they do their job). Anybody outside of lawenforcement who brings a gun to a school should also be put to death. Guns in schools is uncalled for... again these kids are not responsible for their actions.
