NATIONAL SECURITY
With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened. B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger. D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.
The option that best matches my view is B. Foreign Policy; An arm’s length, walk tall, speak softly with a big stick and Brinkmanship approach is my American Foreign Policy. The Current administration’s actions, lack of action, poor planning and overall weak Foreign Policy may very well be America’s biggest threat. I believe in a Foreign Policy of Walking tall and carry a big stick, much like that of Teddy Roosevelt’s; Speak softly and carry a big stick (“the exercise of intelligent forethought and the decisive action sufficiently far in advance of any likely crisis” TR) and Brinkmanship; (the impression that one is willing to use extreme methods rather than to concede) Other nations see America as weak, a few examples; they’ve seen our many years battling in the middle East, Biden’s debacle exit from Afghanistan, Russia’s fearlessness of American intervention. Also, China and India have heightened their purchases from Russia, thereby showing their disregard towards America. America’s unsecure borders show further weakness to the World. American dependance on foreign goods is also a major concern of mine regarding our Foreign Policy, as our massive purchases from China weakens America and strengthens China, who is a dictatorship, opposes democracy, not our ally and they exploit their own people to produce goods. Part of America’s Foreign Policy should be to purchase much less from other countries, ramp up our own production of goods, which begins with the American education system, (I will elaborate on that in my Education section). Russia and China both have a history of repression and genocide, America will not sit by idling and watch. We’ve seen enough, now let’s fix it!

What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?

Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?

What most closely matches your view on healthcare: A) Healthcare for all should be guaranteed and funded by the government with no private healthcare option. (includes "universal healthcare," "medicare for all," etc.) B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options. C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. D)Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded.
The one that matches my view the most is C: Health care AFFORDABILITY crisis; Many Americans (including myself in the past) have no medical insurance. The cost of health care was out of control before COVID. The American education system can play a major role in helping, if our Health care professionals can receive their higher education for a lesser and reasonable amount than these professionals will not have as much debt and can then afford a lessor wage or charge less as a clinic owner. The housing crisis plays into this crisis as well, if the cost of housing is less Doctors will not need to earn as much. Competition will help, if there are lot more small clinics ran as small businesses competing against the big businesses of hospitals that will lower the cost of health care. Companies like mine that can build buildings rapidly with robotics and technology can partner with the new clinic owner, thus helping to lower the cost of building/owning small clinics. Perhaps another small business model could be to offer a mobile health care service tied to a professional network with oversight, by eliminating the cost of a building the cost of a mobile service should be less….just a thought. I have a few more developing ideas for a solution, ask me when I see you. We’ve seen enough, now let’s fix it!

IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
I have reached out and spoken to Montana Sheriffs, Montana Border Patrol agents and other Western States Sheriffs. The leaders of whom with I spoke tell me approximately the same story; the Mexico border is completely open and overrun with illegal immigrants entering America, the resources from MT (border Patrol agents) are being relocated to the Mexico border thus leaving MT borders more venerable.
