• Do you have a policy that will create jobs which will provide the young men and women who work diligently in school, obtain an education, and enter the workforce willing to work with enough income to live on their own, marry and raise a child or two?
• What are you going to do to keep jobs in America rather than send them offshore to the countries with the lowest wage costs and fewest safety standards?
• What should happen to the people who are now being held up by the federal “safety net” of Unemployment Insurance, food stamps, and Medicaid and what criteria will you use to determine the costs and benefits of those programs?

• How do you propose to repair and restore our crumbling infrastructure?

• Tell us which constituency or voting block you are willing to alienate by removing federal support and services for them in order to balance the budget?
• What are you going to do about the “balance of payments”?
