In Response to: Should References to "Husbands" and "Wives" be Changed to “Spouses” In Federal Law?

In Response to: Creating a Catalogue of All Federal Programs and How They Spend Your Tax Dollars

“Where that $125 billion goes is a political question. It could get split up, it could all stay at the Pentagon, etc. It's up to Congress and the President. However, wasteful spending should always be addressed and solved”

In Response to: Does a Pentagon Report to Save $125 Billion on Defense Need to be Released So Congress Can Cut Spending?

“The Federal Government can't ban abortions at any point because it falls under the police power that belongs to the states. Roe v.

In Response to: Should The U.S. Ban Abortions After 20 Weeks Of Pregnancy?

“Political question: it depends on what the DoJ wants to do. If they want to enforce the laws, yes. If they don't, no. It's federal money. If you want the money, you have to take the strings attached. That's what we learned in South Dakota v. Dole, 483 U.S. 203 (1987)”

In Response to: Sanctuary Campuses: Should Colleges That Don’t Comply With Immigration Law Not Get Federal Funding?

The statewide p…”

In Response to: Do Military Spouses Need the Same Residency Exception For Taxes and Voting That Their Partners Get?

“I don't think renegotiation of NAFTA is a bad idea. Economies are constantly changing and policy has to account for that change. We don't live in 1993, so perhaps our trade deals should be updated as such. However, exiting such agreements based on not getting everything we want would be going back t…”

In Response to: Does NAFTA Need to be Renegotiated on Terms More Favorable to America?

“There's no teeth in it--being a resolution--however, it provides some (if only very minuscule) political pressure on the Congress to not succumb to the protectionist policies advocated for by the incoming Trump administration; especially with such a key economic and geopolitical partner such as the …”

In Response to: Post-Brexit: Does the U.S. Need to Reaffirm Its Special Relationship With Great Britain?

“We need a public option. France is considered to have the gold standard for health care by having both public and private health care.
