Jim Bridenstine on Homeland Security |
The START Treaty should have been renegotiated to allow the U.S. to develop a ballistic missile intercept capability and reduce the 10,000 unit Russian advantage in tactical nuclear weapons.
A: Yes.
Q: Do you support an income tax increase on any tax bracket?
A: No.
Q: Do you support reducing Medicaid spending?
A: Yes.
Q: Do you support reducing Medicare spending?
A: Yes.
Q: Is balancing the budget a legislative priority?
A: Yes. We must balance our national budget. Our debt is unsustainable, jeopardizing our ability to attract capital needed to expand our economy and create jobs. Politicians often get re-elected by making promises which can't be kept. However, retired people and those nearing retirement have counted upon these promises. Therefore, people 55 or older should be protected from benefit reductions. I support smart reductions in defense spending that don't jeopardize national security.
