America needs change.

Too many of our political leaders have been corrupted by a political system that pushed them to sell out the public to the highest bidder, to sacrifice the interest of the vast majority at tiny, powerful minorities. 

Our policy making process has in large part been hijacked by an array of rent seeking special interest groups who profit from fleecing taxpayers for special advantages.

Overturning this hideous status quo must be our top priority, and doing so includes policies such as:

• Ending partisan gerrymandering so voters pick their politicians, instead of politicians picking their voters.

• Banning congressional stock trading, increasing transparency, and tightening the code of ethics for elected officials to reduce room for abuse.

• Embracing a more competitive election system, with jungle primaries and approval voting, so that no seats are “safe” and all elected officials have pressure on them to pursue the public’s interests.

• Limiting the perverting influences of big special interest group money and lobbying.

• Expanding internal government policy development research capabilities, to end the outsourcing of policy research to biased third parties.

America has become a build nothing country. Our greatest architectural marvels and infrastructure projects are all in our past, as every new project of a similar magnitude are dealt a death by a thousand box ticks, procedures, and bureaucrats.

Our current red tape laden economy has prevented interstate transportation projects from getting off the ground, halted America’s clean energy revolution, and produced a housing shortage, which has left families reeling from soaring housing costs.

Restoring an America that builds, and does so quickly and cheaply, will require dramatic reforms, including the following:

• Ending anti-development local restrictions, including: parking mandates, unit caps, set back requirements, minimum lot sizes, and use bans.

Our country is on a path to a debt crisis if change is not made quickly. For decades, political leaders have promised action to curb reckless borrowing and failed to deliver it. Now, it is time to act. Just as a family can’t spend endlessly on their credit card. The United States cannot continue to borrow unsustainable amounts of money.

Bringing order to the federal government budget will include policies such:

• Imposing a borrowing limit, that constrains Congresses ability to borrow outside of times of war and recession.

• Enacting a whole of government audit to cut out waste, inefficiency, and duplication.

For decades now, lobbyists have fleeced taxpayers for corporate welfare and tax privileges to get certain businesses unfair advantages, and constructed an elaborate of regulations to choke out competition.

This can not be allowed to continue.

Our elected leaders must take ambitious to slash through the

• Tearing down anti housing land use laws and permitting barriers, to unleash housing abundance and quick resolution of our national housing shortage.

• Eliminating unnecessary occupational licensing restrictions to rapidly increase the skilled workforce, lower costs for consumers in affected industries.

• Fixing the broken energy permitting system to accelerate the green transition and dramatically cut electricity prices.

• Quashing unnecessary costs in healthcare by streamlining to the insurance system and promoting competition amongst healthcare providers.
