Questions & Answers

1. In this time of high unemployment, what are the most important steps that should be taken to improve our nation’s economy?

1st Reinstate Glass-Steagall to put our financial system through bankruptcy reorganization. "Google" "CA derivatives bubble" $1.5 quadrillion global, = 25x Global Gross Domestic Product GDP; $600 Trillion USA derivatives bubble, = 10x USA GDP; Cap and Trade is a $2 Trillion derivatives bubble potential (I'm on page one, http://www.robertlautenforussenate2012.com ). Place the Federal Reserve System under the Treasury Department and thereby under Congressional control. 2nd Reestablish the Hamiltonian Credit System. 3rd Start the NAWAPA infrastructure project. (Visit my website for videos and text explaining #1 - #3).

2. How should the federal budget deficit be addressed, now and into the future? How should budget priorities for defense and domestic programs be adjusted?

There is zero probability to reduce the federal deficit while remaining the United Nation's policeman. Unconstitutional UN wars are bankrupting the nation, - Korea, Viet Nam under the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization, a `regional arrangement' of the UN, Balkan wars under NATO, a `regional arrangement' of the UN, numerous Mid-East wars to enforce UN mandates under Bush 43, and now more unconstitutional UN wars under Obama in Libya and Syria for United Nations "humanitarian reasons". Visit my website, click "Impeach".

It's logically impossible to have a `DE-industrialization' policy (since the 1960's) and a federal deficit reduction concurrently. It's either Glass-Steagall + Credit System + NAWAPA or killer austerity as in Europe.

3. What are your priorities with respect to our nation’s energy policy? Should there be an emphasis on clean energy and reducing carbon emissions, and/or on reducing our dependence on foreign sources?

The global warming debate - it was never about the science. http://larouchepac.com/node/10018

The `Green Agenda' is to reduce world population by 2/3, "Fewer Emitters = Lower Emissions," `and it's no secret, they plainly state their goals of population reduction in their reports and studies. See http://larouchepac.com/node/12807

My national energy policy priority is to modernize our 30+ year old nuclear power plants. Some plants have 50 year old technology.

4. What, if any, changes should be made to federal health care policies or programs?

Rejoice when the Supreme Court finds ObamaCare unconstitutional. If the Court makes an exception for ObamaCare then here will be no limit to Congressional power. Bipartisan tyranny will reign.

Stop subsidizing sugar and tobacco. Remove the authority of the Food and Drug Administration to make the "law-ruling" that `Only a drug can treat, prevent, or cure a disease'.

The BPA scandal at the FDA http://www.therealfoodchannel.com/videos/the-food-industry/bpa---what-is-it-how-it-has-been-hidden-in-our-food-supply.html

5. What, if any, changes should be made to federal rules on campaign financing?

Repeal the 17th Amendment to the US Constitution which established the direct election of US Senators. The State Legislature should elect the 2 US Senators, and thereby save $10s of millions in campaign fundraising.
