define "national social issues". this conservative wants to reduce the amount of spending drastically , reduce the size of government drastically, restore the US to the proud super power we once were and the rest of the world loves, and Liberals to shut up about social issues.

How about this one?

National social issues: whatever will balance the budget
Economic issues: whatever will balance the budget
Foreign policies: whatever will balance the budget

National Social Issues: Get the government out of people's lives. This means: ABSOLUTELY NO LAWS restricting or allowing marriages or civil unions. This is not the government's place. Generally government needs to live and let live.

Focus on real solutions to education. Instead of pouring more money into the system, sit down and have a real, genuine discussion about the issue and ask those who go through it (students).



Economic Issues: End corporate welfare and subsidies. This includes farm subsidies, handouts to large corporations, subsidizing green energy & ethanol, etc.... Social Security reform with an opt-out option available.

Repeal Obamacare, and replace it with a system that allows people to deposit non-taxable money into medical savings accounts. Allow people to share these tax free accounts & pool their money together. Tort Reform for the medical field.

Tax cuts for everyone & possibly a flat tax. Reform all entitlements to make them more efficient & come up with a long term plan to eliminate the need for such programs.



Foreign Issues: Once again live and let live. Close most overseas bases that are effectively "non-essential" for the post Cold-War era. Increase spending in defense research with some of the money saved by closing overseas bases.

Define clear cut objectives in Afganistan & Libya, accomplish them, and leave with dignity. Generally adopt a more Isolationist policy than Interventionist. However, I am not advocating complete isolationism.

Punish China with tariffs for their continuing trade war against the United States. End "free trade" agreements that are not truly "free". Allow the public to vote to continue membership in the United Nations.



I can think of many more but this is just what came to mind. While I consider myself a conservative I'm no Neocon (obviously).

Just that, nation social issues. Racial relations, sexual identity relations, wealth inequality/equality...things typically that are seen as social issues.

Sexual identity relations-not the government's business.
