What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of radical Islamic terrorism?
As a Former Career Officer of the US Army, and a Soldier who faced Islamic Terror, I would support a strong national defense, support our 'Black Operations' Budget & Intelligence Agencies, as well as support those nations that stand with us in the defeat of groups like ISIS (Daesh), Al Quida and other terror groups. We must also limit their travel and cut off the terror group's funding sources, be it from their host nation, or from outside sources, economically and militarily. These are just a few of the strategies to eliminate terror networks.

How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
I support HSAs (Health Savings Accounts) and individual responsibility as well. Another way to promote better healthcare for all is by promoting preventative medicine. Most importantly, a major conservative response to rising health care costs is by allowing transperancy, that currently does not exist, in healthcare costs at Hospitals.

What is the best way to bring down unemployment?
Allow for the market to control the economy, and not the government. Also, welfare programs must be for helping an individual with a hand up, and not be treated as a hand out that further deters individuals from re-entering the workforce.

How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?
We must use updated technology to fight fraud in Social Security and Medicare programs. We should also allow for Seniors that wish to work, to fill an employee shortage, to work without taxing their current Social Security receipts. Lastly, we must stop the underground economy of using Illegal Alliens as employees to skirt our laws. This is part and parcel with the fact that many have paid into a system that the Government is using to fund other programs and swelling the debt on the backs of the individuals that paid into this system.
