A Brief Explanation Of Mike Huckabee Policy Solutions

By Mattie Knight


The 2016 Republican Presidential primaries are a crowded field at present. One of the candidates is Mike Huckabee, former Governor of Arkansas. He was governor during the period of 1996 to 2007. His record during that period was admirable. He managed to lead out in legislation that improved the health care and education systems in the state. The Arkansas state highway system was improved. He was effective in creating jobs and cutting taxes at the same time. The Mike Huckabee policy solutions are available to supporters online at his website. A review of the statements can be seen below.

According to the candidate, his first official act upon being sworn in as President will be to ensure that the veterans from military service will be cared for. He says those who have fought in foreign wars deserve top quality care and treatment. He plans to fix the Department of Veterans Affairs, and force bureaucrats and VA hospital officials to be held accountable for the crisis in disability claims and the unacceptable wait times. Help for veterans will include permanent careers and purpose. In particular, Huckabee wants to fight for mental health awareness and suicide prevention.

The Arkansas Governor has stated that he would abolish the current United States Tax Code and replace it with a "Fair Tax". Currently the Tax Code has over 75,000 pages and requires thousands of bureaucrats to administer it. In addition, there are attorneys who fight court cases over the regulations and private tax-preparation businesses who are involved in the operation of the Internal Revenue Service. Huckabee would get rid of the I. R. S. Completely. By replacing it with the Fair Tax, the tax base of the country would be broadened, the cost of administration would be dramatically reduced. Medicare and Social Security would be protected from raids on the funds.

Mike Huckabee's views on the Second Amendment are strong and openly stated. He believes the Amendment must be protected as a defense against tyranny. He carries a concealed handgun license and is a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association. He has stated that he will oppose any new gun control laws, restrictions, regulations and mandates.

The policy plan for Obamacare is repeal of the legislation and replacement with well-designed health care plans. The focus would be on wellness and preventative care rather than expanding the payments to doctors and hospitals. He considers Obamacare to be a ill-advised disaster costing $2.2 trillion. In particular, the theft of funds from Medicare, over $700 billion, is repugnant to him.

Other policy issues which have been spelled out by the candidate include rejection of existing executive order from Obama, which are unconstitutional. The border would be secured and amnesty is opposed. The governor says that the country must return to a state of adherence to laws.

The policies regarding Israel are clear. He supports the U. S. Relationship with Israel. Education policies and control should be at the local level. Governor Huckabee also wants the United States to rein in spending levels in a responsible way.

Additional details can be found by searching the web pages prepared for his 2016 campaign. His policies are not ivory tower philosophy. Instead, they are tried and tested during his years as Governor of Arkansas.
