Economy:

 

Q: How do you plan to tackle the issue of outsourcing? Explain.

Give an incentive for jobs to return to the US.. For example, we can provide tax cuts or if a business expresses an interest in sending their services overseas, we could apply a harsh tax increase on goods that come back to the United States for selling. 

 

Q: What programs (you must identify SPECIFIC programs) do you intend to cut to decrease our deficit? Are their consequences to your actions? Explain.

Right now, our defense program is heavily funded. While it is extremely important to maintain a stellar military, decreasing funds slightly will improve our debt while not specifically hurting our defense. 

 

Foreign Policy:

​

Q. Do you believe that the United States has a responsibility to help the people living in war torn Syria? Explain. If so, how does your administration plan to assist? If not, explain your rationale.  

It is not only a responsibility for the United States, but for the entire world. We must not put the weight of the problem on our shoulders, we should communicate with other nations in order to be on the same page, preventing any future problems with foreign nations and creating a bigger force to stop the harsh conditions of Syria.

 

Q. In addition to continuing airstrikes, do you intend to place ground troops in Syria and Iraq to combat ISIS? Why or why not? You must explain.   

No, by putting troops on the ground it will hurt our people more than improve the situation in Syria and Iraq. 

 

Q. Why is your plan to combat ISIS better than your opponents? Explain. (You should be able to identify key points from their speeches/debates about their policy.)

My plan puts the interest of our country and our needs first. Instead of placing our troops on the ground, we will retaliate with a thoroughly thought out plan including using our impressive intelligence programs to scope out the terrorist bases. 

​

Q: How do you plan to address the growing concerns over the nuclear development of North Korea? Explain.  

We must get involved. If we do not do anything to fight it, they will continue to prepare for a nuclear attack. However, the key is not to act right way, rather communicate with surrounding nations. Together, the pressure the nations will cause will be powerful enough to weaken North Korea. 

 

Education:

 

Q. How do you plan to evaluate America’s students to ensure that they are college and career ready when they graduate from High School?

We need more programs like BOCES that help the kids decide early into the schooling career which path is right for them.

 

Q:  How do you plan to ensure that American students receive the best education possible?
We need to control the quality of teachers, that includes the outlook on the profession. With more training, teachers will be more respected and the quality of education will increase dramatically. 

​

Q: Why is your plan to reform America’s education better than your opponents? Explain.

I acknowledge that not everyone is made for college. People are all different and this will keep students interested and their attendance higher.

 

Q: How do you plan to motivate America’s students to become more invested in their education?

The reason why many students aren't invested in school is because they feel like they don't have enough control over their education. By giving these students more freedom regarding what classes they take, how they will learn and what times they work best in, students will become more interested in their education. 

 

Q: How do you plan to ensure that we have the best teachers in the classroom? Explain.

We need to give higher standards for teaching. This will happen by making the field more unattainable, while increasing public outlook of the profession.

 

Q. How do you motivate the unmotivated student? Explain.

It's tough because every student is different but by providing different programs that are directed towards students interests, there's a chance they might take more interest in their future careers. 

 

Conclusion Questions:

​

Q. Why would the country be better off with you as President as opposed to the other candidates?

My team works to provide well thought out and realistic approaches in order to better the country. We work to finish tasks in a timely fashion so that we can get results quickly.
