Domestic Policy › Patriot Act
9>9 Personal answerNo, and pass strict laws prohibiting government surveillance without probable cause and a warrant |
the Economy › Government Spending
9>9 Personal answerYes, but by eliminating unconstitutional agencies and by cutting the benefits and salaries of officials (POTUS makes $400,000 a year, never mind all the book deals and speaking junkets after the presidency) as well as by eliminating the number of government officials and bureaucrats, but I still support raising taxes on multinational corporations alongside a reduction in spending |
