1. Fraud we cannot continue to be wasting the taxpayer's money on fraud and all those involved should be prosecuted and the government officials that known about. 2. Budget. Waste full spending has to stop Minnesota is one of the highest taxed states and when we get a surplus they blow it like a kid in a candy store, I think it should go back to the taxpayer. 3. Crime I would like to see the death penalty for capital crimes the deterrent has to be the same or greater than the crime itself and these judges release these capital crime offenders back into the general population and the reoffend the judge who let them go will face the criminal's sentence.
Cut spending. Greed is the driving force behind inflation I knew the price of goods and services would not go down after covid that was a huge experiment to see what the government could get away with. No more lobbyists all that is, is a legal way to bribe a politician for them to return the favor for their bribe.
Somehow, we have to find an incentive for people to want to get a job and work a lot of free time or nothing to do is good for any race.
We all have the same basic equal rights I do not think, any group or race should get and special rights we have too many laws the way it is now. This tactic seems to be a go to every election cycle just like affordable health care. When I was in the Army, we were all the same and we worked as a team because we all relied on each other.
Maybe promote more hybrid automobiles, electric cars are not the answer right now they just do not allow enough freedom for people to travel just not as effective as an internal combustion engine so maybe a hybrid would help with that. Water has to be protected that is a life sustainment issue. Just need to get a task force to make sure companies and people comply to the rules and regulations we have in place someone to do an audit on them.
Brin back the police. Who would want to work for a company or government if they do not support you? This happened under the Obama administration the war on police. Judges and prosecutors need to stop releasing criminals why arrest someone if they are just going to release them? Have to make the punishment worse than the crime sooner or later it will take affect if they the criminals know they are going to be held accountable for their crimes.
NO MORE LOBBISTS! A campaign cap for spending a real one!
