15. Briefly list three (3) political or legislative issues of most concern to you, and explain why each is important to you.
Budget/Debt; I believe that our inability to control our spending and debt crises poses a threat to our national security and our national survival. It forces us to out-source our debt to foreign countries, and it weakens our citizens in that it incentivizes generations to become more dependent on government and less on themselves. Obamacare; The federal takeover of our healthcare industry is a disaster. It costs jobs, makes our fragile recovery less sustainable, and it disrupts the patient/doctor relationship for millions of Americans. Illegal Immigration: I believe that we must tackle this problem by IMMEDIATELY committing whatever funding necessary to secure our borders. ANd that we do NOT reward criminal behavior by granting amnesty to illegal immigrants.
