- A repeal of the health-care law signed by President Obama this year. Repeal doesn't go far enough, they should move to nullify it at the State level.
-- Keeping in place for all Americans, including the wealthy, tax cuts passed under President George W. Bush in 2001 and 2003. President Obama has proposed getting rid of tax cuts for household income above $250,000. Fine, now cut spending.
-- A ban on any federal funding for abortions. Agreed.
-- A hiring freeze on all federal agencies except those charged with keeping Americans safe. (Agencies could hire employees only to replace people who leave.) Check.
-- A requirement that Congress post all bills online three days before a vote and that lawmakers cite the specific constitutional authority that enables the legislation. This is the best part and the way it should be, they have no authority to pass any law not authorized in the constitution. How about also requiring them to read the bill. How about a test before a bill is passed to ensure they've read it? We can do multiple choice, it'll be fun like school and we can air it on CSPAN.
-- A stop on all unspent money authorized as part of last year's stimulus bill or the 2008 legislation that aided failing Wall Street firms. Check.
-- A tax deduction for small businesses on up to 20 percent of their business income. Check.
Now a few things they could have added...
Audit the Fed.
End the department of education.
Shut down the military bases in Europe/Asia.
End all foreign aid. (Yes this includes Israel)
Leave Iraq.
Stop nation building in Afghanistan. (Build a school, they blow it up)
Reel in the executive branch, it's been too powerful for decades.
