Where Dick stands on the issues.


Jobs and the Economy

Ending Obamacare: The Ultimate Job Killer

The Heritage Foundation reported that the biggest barrier to job creation is Obamacare. Socializing healthcare will result in an anemic workforce, especially for the many understaffed hospitals. As President, Dick will make sure of the repeal of Obamacare. However, if the law is not ruled unconstitutional, Dick will actively seek an amendment be passed ensuring that socialized medicine never becomes an option for America. It has proven disastrous for many industrialized countries, particularly in Great Britain. Remember those riots in the streets of London? Yeah, the ones caused by illegal-alien Islams? They were rioting because they were dissatisfied with the British governments HANDOUT healthcare, NHS.

Stop the Looming Tax Increases in 2013

The Bush Era Tax reductions undoubtedly created new wealth for America. That is why Dick intends on rolling back taxes for America's job creators. The Obama Administration's destructive attempts to increase the tax burden on the backs of America persons is just another win for big government. Small businesses are the backbone of the American economy! They should not be punished for their success. These businesses grew independently of government and they should continue as such.

Increasing Exports

Dick has been part of the private sector all his life and knows that past two decades have seen a large trade deficit. You can thank the last two Democratic Presidents and their wreck-less free trade agreements. We have ceded economic power to authoritarian governments, costing us thousands of precious, high-quality American jobs. Whether the Chinese government likes it or not, Dick proposes we start shipping American goods at basement level prices to the Chinese people. This will help spur growth in domestic manufacturing and production. A big win for job creation.

Strengthening the Dollar

The American dollar is in crisis. We are losing out on competition abroad and the only way to ensure a prosperous future in the international community is by strengthening our currency. Out-of-control government spending and the careless printing of money by the Fed has weakened our dollar. In addition to budget cuts, Dicks proposes that we return to the gold standard. There is not enough gold in the United States to back up the amount of money currently in circulation. Hence, a return to the gold standard will make our money more valuable. This will make foreign countries jealous of our gold that they can't have, spurring job growth...or something like that...right?


Healthcare

Every American has the right to access healthcare...or not. That is their God-given right. Mandating the purchase of a product people don't need or want goes against personal liberty and core constitutional values. Dick pledges to the repeal of Obamacare as President. This job killing, socialist, piece of legislation is a direct result of Pelosi cronyism. Therefore, as part of Obamacare's repeal Dick will ensure the indefinite imprisonment of the former House speaker at Guantanamo...which he will reopen.

Dick's critics often cite rising healthcare costs as the number one reason why ordinary people are loosing out on coverage. However, the real problem stems from overregulation and a lack of competition within the healthcare industry. Government price controls on pharmaceuticals and abortions have hindered access to affordable care. People like Michelle Obama and their anti-obesity campaigns are making insurance less affordable by getting in the way of the healthcare providers. If there were more competition, our children wouldn't be so obese!


Immigration

The Obama government's failure to regulate the flow of illegal immigration has cost us billions of dollars. Building walls and deploying the national guard to defend our borders from Mexican Al-Quaeda is not doing enough. We must ensure that immigration laws are respected and enforced. Without these laws, our national security is in jeopardy. As part of of his multi- pronged strategy, Dick will ensure security by prosecuting and deporting the droves of illegal aliens ruining our economy by instituting Arizona's SB.107 on the federal level. Our ancestors didn't jump fences to gain entry into the United States, and neither should illegal migrants.


Education

American ingenuity has always put us on the cutting edge of innovation. But as our education system fails, American students are losing out to their foreign peers. Did you know that in some countries, school starts with an exercise routine? Imagine that. Anyways, efforts like No Child Left Behind aimed at treating the plague on our schools, have actually made it worse. Big government has failed us again. Before the federal government got involved schools were never in disrepair, teaching about evolution, or segregating students on the basis of race. This is why Dick proposes ending the Department of Education. Leaving education up to the states (except maybe for Massachusetts) would be a way in which limited government intervention could improve our schools. States would direct their own curriculum and be able to create art classes that teach intelligent design or offer real science classes like christian archaeology. All in all, axing the big DofE would really help improve our schools. As President, Dick pledges that your tax dollars will only go to the state you send your kids to school in. Not some other state, where illegal immigrants are allowed to attend college. Yeah we're talking about you California.
