National Security
On the issue of National Security, A Better Way provides a 4-pronged approach: Protect the Homeland, Defeat the Terrorists, Tackle New Threats, and Defend Freedom. Key features in this section include addressing cyber attacks, preventing terrorist infiltration in the US through increased border control, engaging terrorist groups on their home turf, increased military research and resources, and foreign policy measures that are focused on supporting key allies. In this section, Veteran Affairs reforms are also an essential component.
The Economy
Regarding the economy, the plan focuses heavily on reforming regulatory processes. Rather than just reducing regulation, A Better Way suggests strengthening needed regulations while minimizing or eliminating regulations that work against business owners and employees. Other components include affordable energy, protecting internet freedom, and lawsuit reforms to reduce frivolous legal actions.
The Constitution
According to A Better Way, “Washington spends money it isn’t authorized to spend. It takes power it isn’t given. It ignores laws it is required to execute. It doesn’t listen, and it certainly doesn’t care to learn.” This section of the comprehensive plan proposes to strengthen the constitutional separation of powers through increased congressional oversight of the Executive branch, clearer language in bills and laws, and increasing governmental transparency to taxpayers.
