Missouri

Political Party- [|Democrat]

The Missouri congressman I most agree with is [|Russ Carnahan].

Economy- Because of the current economic struggle I think the best act we can make is to give tax cuts to the people who need it. This means the majority of the people in the United States would have more money and therefore spend it. The resulting action would be the start up of the economy since people are spending money they actually have.

Foreign Policy- I am disgusted with the [|Iraq War](This link gives you the current cost of the Iraq War.) I think its act of declaration was completely unnecessary. We should slowly remove our troops from Iraq. This would also help the economy becuase of the hundreds of billions we have already spent (See link above.) Also, we need to strengthen ties with our allies. We as a country have acted too independently and we should be more democratic with our other nations.

Health Care- I agree that we should have universal health care. The problem confronting us is how to achieve the funding for such a feat. We should tax the people who need the service over others. But, we should also varry the price depending on their economic situation. After we are out of this recession we can hopefully achieve this with this system.

Immigration- I do not think we should do anything against immigration. Our country was made from immigrants and keeping them out would be selfish. There should be a program for immigrants to live in the United States. This would give special privaleges to them. But, yes there should be certain restrictions on other immigrants to keep them from stealing our resources then return to their country.
