• Encouraging economic growth and job creation by using policies that are proven to work:
  • Permanently lowering tax rates
  • Limiting excessive regulation
  • Controlling federal spending
• Providing health care that is affordable and accessible to all Americans while ensuring that health care decisions are made by the doctor and patient, according to the patient’s best interests
• Increasing domestic production of all kinds of energy to reduce our dependence on foreign oil imports and to support American families struggling with the rising costs of fuel, food, and electricity
• Revamping the tax code so that it is flatter and fairer to all American families and businesses 
• Ensuring that the federal government continues to address its first job – to defend the country and our national security -- while keeping its commitment to those who have and are serving in our military and their families
• Working to create and enforce a workable immigration program that effectively controls who and what crosses American borders
• Supporting agriculture with lower taxes, fewer regulations, and more markets available for our commodities
• Working to ensure that the federal government demonstrates fiscal discipline, is held accountable for spending, and moves toward a balanced budget
• Providing all Americans with a government that works swiftly and effectively, and minimizing the bureaucracy that has come to define the federal government
• Keeping the Social Security safety net secure for current and future generations
• Assuring the best education for our children with decisions made locally by parents, teachers, and local school boards
