A Short Recap Of Mike Huckabee Policy Solutions

By Mattie Knight


The group of Republican primary contenders for the 2016 race is larger than usual. Mike Huckabee, former Governor of Arkansas is one of those candidates. At present, his rank in the polling is not as high as some of the other candidates, However, as governor between 1996 and 2007, he has proved that he can accomplish the major duties of governing. His record is substantial, with major impact on state health care, road systems, education and tax reduction. He has laid out Mike Huckabee policy solutions which he is supporting in his quest to become the United States President. Here is information on some of the major issues.

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.

When it comes to the Tax Code, the presidential administration under Mike Huckabee would begin by eliminating the entire Internal Revenue Service. The savings gained annually by this action would same U. S. Citizens more than $1 trillion. Thousands of tax preparers, lawyers and bureaucrats are involved in compliance with the existing 75,000 pages of the Tax Code. The Governor's solution is to replace the existing income tax with a Fair Tax. The simplicity of a Fair Tax would also lower tax rates, protect the Social Security and Medicare programs and would have more taxpayers contributing, with less cost.

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.

Another point of contention among many of the candidates is the topic of Obamacare. Huckabee considers the legislation a disaster in the range of $2.2 trillion. He wants to repeal the legislation and replace it with a different type of health care. The approach under the Governor would be to provide care supporting wellness rather than illness. He is particularly opposed to the cost of $700 billion which was stolen from the Medicare system.

The candidate also plans to reject unconstitutional executive orders from the current administration. The border would be secured and amnesty opposed.

Huckabee supports Israel and also locally based education policies. He is in favor of reining in governmental spending.

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.
