Perry For President - Answers Your Questions

Dear Perry,

I am interested in knowing what Perry's policies. For instance does he have an exit strategy for the war? How does he stand on health care, a mouse for everyone perhaps? For education does he favor or wish to abolish the 'no kitties left behind' program?

Dear Liz,

Thank you for your questions about my platform. I will address them one at a time:

Economics- Our economy is failing in the fallout of the Bush administrations "Monopoly" paradigm, or "make up some money and spend it". This administration has racked up a debt higher than all the presidents before him combined! He has borrowed so much money that our country has two liens against it.

My ideas are as follows:

1) STOP BORROWING MONEY!
2) STOP SPENDING $12 BILLION A MONTH IN IRAQ! (yes, I said BILLION!)
3) Get off this oil camel and invest in non-combustible energy. We have sun and wind and water that moves. The earth is warm. There's enough energy there to keep this country running. (And let's have the oil companies contribute to the R&D!)
4) Pass no more spending bills that are not accompanied by clear and viable ways in which to fund them.

Exit Strategy: The strategy of the Bush administration that got us into this war was "lie, ignore, kill! kill! kill!" I think we can "truth, pay attention, leave! leave! leave!" Yes, I am aware that those people need protection, however, they needed protection before we got there and will need it when we are gone. Unless they decide to start talking to one another, they will continue to war and kill just like they have for the last four thousand years. Our little interlude really makes no difference.

By the way, since September 11th, 2001, the actions of the Bush administration in Iraq have killed far more Americans than the terrorists did. I thought the point was to SAVE American lives.

Universal Health Coverage: Although I doubt we can actually provide adequate health care for everyone in the universe, I do feel that it is important that every American has access to vet care. Spaying, neutering, rabies, FIV, distemper and all other vaccinations as well as well baby and wellness monitoring should be available to every American. The AMA has made good health a commodity instead of a right. And insurance companies take as much as they can. One constituent of mine had an angioplasty. He was self-employed, had no insurance and was 61. He paid many times more than he would have on medicare. He's campaigning against that now in Florida. And I agree with him.

Education: Most Americans are taught by their parents and extended families. Humans, however, seem to feel the Socratic method (thought up by a human, by the way) is unacceptable for their litters. I believe that education should be available to everyone. Further, I believe that humans should be educated to provide for themselves and raise their own offspring. The first thing I would do is reinstate the use of the McGuffey Readers. Children will be taught all the mental skills they need: reading, writing, arithmetic, memorization, logic, orderliness, manners, stewardship, first aid, pet care, gardening and food preparation. As they gain skills, more customized learning will be available: preparedness, childrearing, housekeeping, auto repair, plumbing, botany, animal husbandry, carpentry, mathematics, poetry, creative writing, bookkeeping, and basic medical skills. All of these things will make for better, more well-adjusted humans, better learning environments, safer schools and a much more wonderful America for all of us who live here.

Thank you so much for asking. I appreciate your interest.
