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.
C)
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
It is important because there are very few countries around the world who have the level of freedom that Israel does and we should foster those relationships.
What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?
The military has become an experiment in socialism and wokeism
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Did not answer
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.

We need to find ways to push these programs down to states and let the states compete to have the best healthcare
ECONOMY
What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?
We need to eliminate the dual mandate and two percent target of the federal reserve, favoring a stable dollar instead. Then we need to balance the budget and start cutting and simplifying taxes.
