==Jim Fryman on the Issues:==
: Harvested from http://www.frymanforcongress.com/issues.html in September 2008.
* Economy -- The largest drains on our economy are the Iraq war and the so called “war on drugs”.
* Iraq -- We should get out of Iraq as soon as we can safely withdraw our troops. Fifteen Saudis attack the Twin Towers, so we attack Iraq?
* "War on Drugs" -- The "war on drugs" is bankrupting us fiscally and morally and is creating enemies for America around the world.
* Energy -- High gasoline prices are caused mainly by Washington’s deficit spending. The dollar is going down more than the price of gasoline is going up.
* Business -- Do away with the corporate income tax. The only way corporations can spend money is wages and salaries, dividends, and capital investment. All of these but capital investment will be taxed to those who receive the payments; and investment will create new jobs, a win-win situation.
* Gun Rights -- I support the 2nd amendment, not because I am a hunter, but because every person has a right to defend their life and home.
* Education -- We should eliminate the US Dept of Education and return control of our schools to state and local governments. No Child Left Behind, one-size-fits-all education is a disaster. All savings should go toward lowering federal taxes and balancing the budget.
* Foreign Aid -- We should cut foreign aid by 95% within 5-8 years. Savings should go to lower taxes and balance the budget.
